Ah, Anthropologie

While browsing the web tonight looking for bridesmaid dress inspiration I happened upon the Anthropologie website - which I had been neglecting. Now, I can't say that I found bridesmaid dresses, but I did find these wonderful things that I must try to replicate for my house...

Christmas Movies

Here are the movies that I'm looking forward to watching while snuggled under a blanket this holiday season:

My Kind of Christmas Tree

I came across this tree on Curbly tonight - and I love it. Especially after dealing with what the cats have done to our tree this year. It's called the Tannenboing Tree and I wish that one of these trees would just jump itself all the way here and attach itself to my ceiling.

Man, would I love to see the cats try to climb this tree! Bwahaha!!!

Of course, I think the kids would quickly try to turn it into a tree fort. Of course, one could decorate the tree to discourage blanket draping, but I think I prefer it au-natural.

Overheard While the Kids Were Playing

Mikah:    Alek, did you just fart in my face?
Alek:       No
Mikah:    Well then why does my face smell like a fart???

Prepare for Takeoff

Tomorrow afternoon I am leaving on one of these

to spend a few days here at a work conference

The Mr is on parent duty while I'm on leave.

Sucker.



I'm Back with my Sanity Mostly Intact

It's been awhile but hopefully you will understand. It feels like it's been such a long time since I've been on here, and I'm a little worried that I may have lost my "voice" so to speak. I guess I should just dive in, so here goes...

We decided that we needed to move to a bigger house; we found the perfect house; closed on the house and moved - all within 3 weeks! It has been a CRAZY time I tell ya. We just finished with our old house this weekend and now can concentrate on fully moving in to our new home. Which means I may be able to stop living out of the suitcase someday soon.

We moved from one side of the city to the other which has been a huge change for all of us. Alek started at a new school and it's been a hard adjustment. The new school is about triple the population of his old school and is freaking me out too, so I can understand where he's coming from. He's having a hard time making friends and the boys in his class aren't being overly welcoming, which is very hard for this mammma to handle. So please, cross your fingers for me that they will soon see what an awesome kid he is.

Lukas is now in a big-boy bed and the transition has been surprisingly easy. Although I find him curled up on the floor almost every morning. He told me this morning that, "me not fall out of bed, me just like it here." Ok, whatever floats your boat Lukas.

Mikah is almost four. We are having boundary issues daily. I can't wait until he is old enough to be mostly reasonable. Seriously; I can't wait.

School has started back up for me as well and I have a full plate of math and language arts students. I've got a nice mix of new students and returning ones which keeps me on my toes; but I wouldn't trade it.

There you go. A short and sweet post. How did I do?

Changes

Big changes are happening for my family. Big.
