Busy Weekend!

SO - on Saturday Noah decided enough was enough with his crib - so he climbed out of it...many times - we decided that climbing over the top probably wasn't safe- so off we went to buy a Toddler Bed. He is so little in it! And the bed is so little to top it off - but, he loves it - that's all that matters. Over the weekend we finished the rubber mulch around Noah's swingset - it looks awesome - and I think he has become the envy of all the neighborhood kids- since he made a new friend Nick - the neighbor kid across the street who is two years older than him and wanted to come play on the swingset. Noah was in 7th heaven with someone to play with!

This weekend I also made a card for my friend Stephanie's graduation. Nothing too extravagent - but it was nice to play for a change. We also saw some hot air baloons fly right over the house Sunday night - quite the sight!

Required: Two moderately handy people

So- we bought this swingset - awesome - cedar - the best one for the best price. The instructions say that it will require two moderately handy individuals. um - yeah - no problem. So, we had 5 at one point - but hey - whose counting? And, we still don't have a swingset. And, I am amazed after working on it with just my hubby yesterday we are still married - because it should also have a warning - caution - may cause yelling, screaming and walking away. So, by day two all we managed to have is the tower (a completed tower) - but no swings, or other stuff yet - why? Because I told him that the bolt wasnt big enough....but what do I know?? Here are some pics from the weekend fun. Soon it will be done - maybe.....

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

We had a good one- had brunch at a really nice banquet facility in the area and Noah got me a gift card for Michael's. Also, put all the scrapbook stuff away from the crop at the Mega Meet. Had fun on Friday doing that. I finished a 2-page spread for Noah's birthday layout - which Val told me that I have to post. It's not completely finished - still need journaling- but here it is. Also, I'm posting the fantastic new home card that I got in the mail from Val.

Nes House, Noah's Two!!

Moving...it's crazy...it's stressful....it's expensive....and it makes you touch every single thing you own and wonder- why do I own that? Somewhere in the midst of packing and moving, Noah turned TWO!!! We celebrated at Chuck E. Cheese where he was VERY overwhelmed by the kids and the big giant rat. But, he got lots of cool stuff - and I am so behind on the thank you's and the moving announcements -

Anyway- a short tour of the bottom level of the house- minus the giant playroom - since it looks a little like Toys R Us threw up in there right now.

Been Super Busy

Last weekend when we went to the house all the carpet was installed. It looked nice- although the carpet in Noah's room was a little more blue than we had anticipated. We also went to an Egg Hunt at the model where we met a couple of new neighbors and Noah got to see the Easter Bunny. Noah loved the Easter Bunny he wanted to take him for a walk- and he really got the egg hunt. This week flew by- we cleaned the garage and the basement and packed some boxes. I had Good Friday Off so we went to Sams to check out a swing set for Noah. We ended up with the swing set and a water play thing. Can't wait to use that. Yesterday we headed over to the inlaws for a BBQ. Noah had an Easter Egg Hunt there too. We also went and saw the Easter Bunny yesterday morning (I'll scan the picture in later). We saw the house yesterday too- the dishwasher, oven and microwave were all installed and look awesome. We are still missing the granite :o( All the cardboard is off the flooring - so we could see the hardwood and the other two shelves are stained. Looking good- but I can't wait to see the granite in!

Today we are off to see my brother for Easter- lots of good picture potential there

Happy Easter!

More house pictures

This weekend we went- everything is looking good. We also ordered all the drapes and bought everything that we needed. I'm exhausted- and in need of a kid break...any takers?? Just two hours??? I think I need Calgon to take me away today. The alarm system was in, and all the appliances was there.....can't wait to see those installed- and did I mention that my Tub finally showed up???

Moving Weekend- for mom!

We moved mom this weekend. On top of that- we took Noah to get his two year pictures at Portrait Innovations. I wasn't impressed with the photographer- but really didnt have a choice since Kiddie Kandids had gone out of business. We also went to the house on Saturday (and Sunday)- the alarm system is in- the speakers are in, the faucets are in- its totally looking like a house- one month from today we close- OH MY GOD!!! Here are some pictures of Noah's photo session!

Have a great Monday!
