Countertops

The guy came to put in the base for our new counters today. The counters should be in Thursday! So my kitchen is close to being done! It is going to look really nice and we have a ton of counterspace and cupboards...so hopefully that will cut back on a lot of clutter. We are also having new countertops put in on the upstairs bathroom and the master bath. I would eventually like to get new cupboards and countertops for the downstairs bathroom as well, but that will have to wait a bit. So anyways, things are moving along and it won't be too much longer now!

While we were down at the house checking things out and seeing how things were going (Ryann and I) we opened up a couple boxes and Ryann found her huge gigantic stuffed sheep dog. This thing is bigger than her! She was so excited and happy to see it! She was carrying it all over the house. She wanted to take it with us when we left the house, but I told her that he needed to stay there to watch over the house! So it is going to be like Christmas for these guys once we really start going through the boxes. I have a feeling we are going to have a huge yardsale though too!

Bug Boy!

I'm going to have to give C.J. the new nickname of bug catcher. Yesterday he was playing on the floor when I noticed he had something in his mouth. I went over to see what it was and low and behold he had a black beetle in his mouth!! YUCK!! Luckily I didn't look like he had gotten to the chewing it up stage yet (he was still just rolling it around in his mouth) and the beetle was still in one piece. I hear that bugs are a good source of protein though!

37...

No, I'm not 37! I won't have that honor for 7 more years! 37 in this case was how low Ryann's blood sugar was this afternoon! YIKES! She wasn't even acting all that funny too, well maybe a little onry...but not enough that I thought she was that low! So imagine my surprise when I sit them all down for lunch and check her blood sugar and I get this number! I did it twice to just be sure. So I gave her a juice box, and she got back up to 136...then of course the only thing she wanted to eat was salad! Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that my kids like to eat healthy foods...but in this case I wanted her to eat something that had some carbs in it (salad really doesn't have carbs...well not enough for it to really matter). So she ended up eating 3 helpings of salad and didn't want anything else...so guess she isn't going to be getting a shot for lunch. I'll just have to keep an eye on that blood sugar through out the day. Think we are going to be making some more adjustments to her insulin. She has been going low atleast once a day if not more and that is not good!

The garbage truck...

Jaxon for some reason is absolutely terrified of the garbage truck! He's always felt that way about it, since he first saw one. I don't know if it's the sound they make or what but he just freaks out when it comes. Unless you are holding him, than he doesn't mind standing at the door or window and watching the garbage get picked up and dumped into the truck, in fact than he seems to enjoy it and will even say "bye truck" when it drives away. No other vehicle seems to bug him, but watch out for that garbage truck!

Meet Spot!

Spot is the name we have given another stray cat in the neighborhood. I think we are going to take him as our own once we move into our own place (just need to talk Doug into it!) He seems to get along pretty well with all the other cats so I think he will get along with the cat we already have, since he gets along with everyone as well. Spot is such a sweet boy, if you sit on the ground he will come right over to you and climb in your lap and just nuzzle you and purr. I think Spot will make a nice addition to the family! The kids already love him as well, and if they sit still and our quiet, he will come up and rub against them as well. Which they of course get a big kick out of. So he's a pretty friendly guy, and I think he is pretty cute as well.

Donuts!!

This little boy sure does love his donuts...especially the powdered ones!! He gets really excited when he see's that we are having donuts for breakfast. We don't do it very often and usually it's a weekend thing and a special treat! It's funny since when Doogie was a baby I didn't let him have sugar until after he was one! Funny how those things kind of change some once you have more than one! C.J. is such a busy guy, he is starting to stand by himself longer and longer and getting more steadier. He even has tried to take a step or two!

Paint, paint...

go away, come again some other day! That's about sums about my day! I spent it finishing up all of the touch-up in the kids rooms. I also got Ryann's stripe painted. I need to go to the craft store and see if I can find a big pawprint stamp of sometime to use in Jaxon's room since he wants blue's clues. But the rooms and the house are starting to come along. Now that the rooms are done being painted (pretty much) we are starting to move their stuff in their. Doogie and Jayde have their beds put together and they have a few other things in their now as well. Still haven't really broken into the boxes yet, but that will start to happen soon. I need to remember to bring my camera down to the house and take some pictures...it's quite the mess right now. I should of taken some before and after pics so you could of seen what it looked like before the renovation. But Doug was already tearing things apart and putting things together by the time I thought of that! I'll just have to describe what it looked like before and than show you the after pictures.

My wrist is still pretty sore. It's not too bad when I where the brace but with all the painting I've been doing the past couple days is feeling sore even with the brace on. Thank goodness I'm almost done painting. I figure my wrist isn't going to get much rest until we are all done with our move. Once we are unpacked and settled I will work on resting my wrist and getting it healed! When I don't have my brace on and I move my wrist around I can feel it creaking!
