New Floors

Two weeks ago we got some hardwood flooring put in the house.  It was super exciting for me to finally get rid of our least favorite carpet ever! 

Tuesday night, Erik ripped out the old stuff.

The kids thought the empty family room was so much!

The biggest challenge of it all was staying out of the house for three days.  Luckily I had enough errands and fun places to take the kids to keep us busy.  I also have to admit it was nice not preparing any food and going out for almost every meal :) (however that was the not the best thing for our health!)
Wednesday, we went to the Dulles mall.  After Jackson got home from school we tried staying in the basement, but it was way too stinky!  Our travel trailer really came in handy and that became our little home for the night, parked on our driveway.


Thursday, we had play group at the library, visisting teaching, and sweet frog at night to keep us out of the house :)

Friday morning was McDonald's for breakfast.  By this time I was sooooo sick of eating out.  Seriously, I craved my usual bowl of oatmeal something fierce!  Very thankfully, the Stakers invited us over for dinner that night so we actually got one home cooked meal.  It was so nice!

Friday afternoon, Wyatt, Anna, Camri, and I went to Kidz Play.  The place was super empty, so I went on all of the slides, and bouncy things.  It was so much fun :)



And then finally the floors were done.  We got wood put in the upstairs hallway, the family room, and the rest of the wood floors were sanded and refinished to match.  They turned out great.  Someday, when I actually think of it and those rooms are clean, I will take "after pictures"

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
