I'm seeing blue

So being stuck in the house with no end to snow in sight I began talking to my walls. It went something like this:
wall: I am looking so white and boring you should use that can of paint sitting there and paint me today.
me: Are you kidding? I have toilets to scrub, daipers to change, and mouths to feed. Painting you is the last thing on my mind.
wall: It would take your mind off of things and make you feel productive.
In the end the wall won. It actually did help take my mind of things. Who knew painting a tiny half bath would be so time consuming. In my true fashion things are still a mess in the bathroom. I did however get some toilet scrubbing, daiper changeing, and mouths fed all thrown into that mix.

(The flash makes the blue look bright, it is a lot darker in person.)

These bare walls are filled with love

We had one of those I wish it would never end weekends filled with late night games and plenty of junk food. Followed by tons of laughing, kissing babies, and remember when...
I love having a home if only for the fact that I can fill it with family. We still have not chosen curtains and are yet to hang anything on our walls, but we continue to create memories, making our house truly feel like a home.

home new home

Well we are in the new house and it has been a little over a month and we have yet to get furniture or put paint on our very white walls. I guess to some that is not so bad. I have been a renter for so long now that I am sick of white walls and can not wait to get some color on them if only hubby and I could decided on a color, or colors! Well we did purchase our first piece of furniture it arrives tomorrow. This sectional which will go in our family room is a great example of the very indecisive people we are. So on Saturday we went "looking" which is what we have done now for over a month just scoping things out in case something we love is out there for the right place. Well bingo on Saturday we found it BUT the colors were not our first choice. We said forget it we like it we'll get it anyway! So we got a cream sectional for our family room. Yes I said cream the light off white sort of color. And yes this is going in our family room the room were our two year old and seven month old play in a lot! So as we are driving home I make the comment that my mom is going to say what were you thinking getting such a light colored couch for your kids to play on. ( I in my mind have visions of these well behaved kids who never run on furniture and would never dream of putting muddy hands on it! Nice thought!) Anyway so this comment gets my husband thinking and he decides we have to call them and switch to the sage green color at least then the fingerprints will look like slight smudges right! So we debate for hours (literally!) and finally come to the conclusion that well yes we both prefer the cream couch the sage green one is far more practical. So we call and like that our couch goes from cream to green. The next day I am depressed! Yes I am sad that we are getting the sage green couch! I go the whole day mourning the loss of all my color ideas that mind you have not materialized AT ALL yet. I think well now I am going to have to come up with all new ideas to work with and this sage couch is just not what I want blah blah blah... Anyway so I am so miserable about it (yes all day Sunday and Monday!) that we re debate and I finally end up calling and I change the couch back to cream. Then of course I stay up all night last night tossing and turning and all day today fretting about our cream couch. I can just see my self next month saying what was I thinking cream!!! I'll keep you posted.



In other household news the princess who is so tiny and dainty is crawling. She has been for quite a while now. She is a very independent baby and enjoys playing by herself, but she also adores her big brother and when he is around she gravitates to him. Last night her big brother was upstairs and hubby and I were in the kitchen and she was under the table playing. Well my husband turns around and notices she is gone. She had already made it half way up the stairs! So he supervised and she climbed all the way up unassisted. Our growing little girl! Her big brother also thought this was great and cheered her on (if you can call bopping her on the head cheering on) He is a sweet brother and he really loves his little sister. I can't wait until she gets even more interactive. My favorite thing in the world is to hear them laughing with each other. They'll just look at each other and start bursting out with laughter! It is very sweet I should get in on video now that I think about it! Well I have enjoyed this posting now as things slowly start to settle I hope I find more time to spend posting. Stay tuned hopefully I'll have pictures of the house up soon!
