Tis the season... for runny noses and tissue! OMGoodness! Thank goodness i have a fairly good stockpile of tissue boxes because i am using them like crazy! I swear i am wiping noses every 30 seconds >_< Piles and piles of nasty tissue...

At least Anabel is awesome with getting her nose wiped. She will come to me and tell me when she needs her nose cleaned. And Abby is getting better, actually today she has been following Anabel's lead and coming to me and pointing to her nose and trying to say 'tissue'. So cute! She still kinda fights you when you wipe her nose but she always says 'Thank you' after you do it :)

Last night Bob got the bars up in our new closets. The way he installed them makes it feel like the closet has even more space.

The closets are nothing special, old paint that does not look good by any means but i am excited about them. They do seem to have way more space then our old closets, maybe because they are actual 'walk in closets' which gives the feeling of being larger? What i love is that they have doors on them which will help the room feel more orderly.

As me and Bob were talking about future reno plans we realized our master bedroom plans (which would be to gut the whole upstairs to make it our big master bedroom and bath with a small nursery connected) would be years down the road (Bob said more like 10yrs) just because we decided that before the master bedroom is started we will have had to of redone the basement to give more bedrooms for the kids. Sooo since that would be the case and we will have to live with the upstairs the way it is, that gave me permission to eventually paint the rooms up there.

Since all of this cost money and any reno cost tons of money we will have to wait on it. Even painting adds up quickly. So for now we will move up stairs with no new paint and living with the old. We have been in a room for almost 2 years now that had no paint so it's nice to be in a room with paint, even if it's ugly old paint. LOL

I'm so grateful for what i have. I feel so blessed.... sure most of the rooms paint is not nice and we live with painted sub-floors that don't look good but this house has awesome potential!

This is only the second year in this home and we have a new awesome porch with awesome porch furniture, we have a new privacy fence (no grass yet though) in our back yard with an arch entry way, shelves installed in my pantry, and our newest adventure is the redone main floor bathroom. I mean come on! Who wouldn't feel blessed? I know the rest will come eventually and that will be awesome.... but for now i am happy with what i have!

So today i will be spending time bringing stuff from our bedroom upstairs and getting stuff organized.

We don't have the disposable money to buy the paint for the soon to be play room but i'm hoping we will soon. If not they can play in there with out it. LOL

I just want to get all this clutter from rearranging put away so i can get Christmas decorations put up!

So like i have said before... maybe not in the blog but one of my other ones, but we are moving the girls in together in one room and me and Bob are moving up stairs as well. So our up stairs will be: Guest room, Girls Room, and our bedroom.

What use to be our bedroom on the main level will then be turned into the play room.
As usual i have all kinds of ideas for the room!

What use to be my closet is perfect to fit the changing table in and the shelves in there are great for extra diapers and things that i don't want the girls into by themselves like the art stuff. I plan on closing it off with a baby gate. I primed the closet yesterday (lots of drama with that), I think i got myself literally high with fume.... so not fun! Also i painted the trim in the closet white which makes the old trim look so much better imo.

In what use to be Bob's closet i was thinking of hanging a curtain there and it become like a stage. It would be to fun if Bob could build a platform for the stage!

Our Church decided to do a float in the Parade of Lights local Christmas parade this year.
A lot of people put a lot of hard work into getting everything put together! And the result turned out looking nice lit up in the dark.

Last night Bob and i were talking before we fell asleep. He was talking about all the extra work he signed up for at school and i was expressing my dislike for that LOL I know he works hard and does everything he can to provide and he does a great job of it. I just wish things didn't have to be so and wish he could spend more time at home.

Part of the conversation:

"Isn't it so weird that we married each other" I said "I mean what made you pick a geek? It would seem that you being a jock and all you would have went for a cheerleader or something" Which was the type of girls he had dated before me. "And i always thought i was going to marry a geek!"
I said those chicks must have been to social for him since he is more of a recluse.
He said "Yeah i don't know why more people aren't that way. I like my bubble, like I am the guy on King of Queens... willing to lift up my shirt and show them my chest hair to scare them off.... i like our bubble just the way it is."
You would have had to of seen that episode of King of Queens to know just what he is saying. We got quite a laugh out of that!
I told him i thought it was because really he was a geek underneath and that when he met me he was all "Man i wish i could as cool as she is" Hehehe

The conclusion is that opposites attract... even if that can cause some friction, but you can always work through it.

While he might adore sports and i couldn't care less about them you learn that there is a lot things you do have in common.

We both enjoy:

• Art (i envy what he gets to do at work. I wish i knew how to do pottery or have the time to practice my Photoshop skills like he does.)
• Sewing (yes he sews)
• Woodworking
• Video games (me more so though)
• Cooking
• Decorating the house
