Finished enough to show you...

Before (Please ignore Kalee's super crazy hair!!)




Here are some pictures of our almost finished entryway and living room/dining room. Matt got called in to work yesterday, so, of course, nothing got done around our house! (That's not true, I spent the morning cleaning, going through the girls' closets, putting things in the attic, moving Peyton's room around, doing laundry...I was a machine!!) So I am giving up on waiting until it is completely finished to show you all what it looks like! We still need to finish the trim in the entryway, touch up my mess up spots on the ceilings, and finish the light switch replacements. Oh, and I am eventually getting new cutains to replace the super fancy and very beautiful blue sheet that is currently covering our back sliding door! I want them for the front window also, but am at a stand still for those. I want to do roman shades on those windows, but we are thinking we will be getting new windows this summer, so I don't want to spend the money on them and have them not fit the new windows. (cross your fingers and we'll see what really happens! If it's like anything else around this house, we will be getting new windows in 5 years.) Now I will move on to the basement. It needs a paint job and I desperately want shelving for all the toys. Then there's Matt's bathroom that is currently decorated with lighthouses and his Butt/Face towels and soap (thanks Tara!!).

We went to see Molly Jo yesterday!! We all got to hold her. The girls were pretty excited about her. Peyton wanted to hold her a lot. Kalee kept putting her arms out and saying "Turn, turn!" She was holding her when we said maybe Papa wants to hold Molly. Kalee told him No!! Peyton got to help feed her a bottle, Kalee also helped for about 3 seconds. She is such a sweetie!! So pretty!! Her hair is so shiny! I just love her! Peyton cried on the way home that she wanted to hold her again. So Tara...we may be back sooner than we expected!!

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
