The Friday five

1.     It’s MOVING weekend.  I can’t believe. It.  I’m not a big “house cliché” person….you know that “where we brought our babies home, our first this, our first that” yadda yadda yadds…maybe it’s because we’ve had three different houses in 7 years, but leaving an actual “house” doesn’t really make me sad.  But, I am sad to be leaving our neighborhood…if only I could pick up our hood and place it ON the lake where our house was ON the water ….it’d be a perfect world.  We’ve had so much fun living in this neighborhood for the past 4 years and even more so the last year and a half with our besties right across the street.  So leaving all that sucks…but, hopefully it’ll all be worth it when we find our next home.  When will that be?!  I have NO idea.  I better get used to the idea of being in limbo for a while…that’s normally not a good place for my OCD/controlling/type A self, but I know we will find something one day.  And until then, home is where the heart is…we will be fine as long as the five of us are together, wherever that may be!

 

 

2.     Mikey had a work event last night, so I took the kids to the pool for a couple hours to get some energy out!  They had a ball per usual and then we came home for leftovers and a little dance party before bed.  G and T are obsessed with watching Collins’ dance recital video and dancing to it, it’s so cute!  “sissy dance, mama”???? over and over again:-)

  



 


 

3.     I’ve sold half of the furniture in our house….oops!  ;-)  I was selling based on what we would have needed for the fixer upper…and well, that didn’t work out, so now, more than likely, we will need to buy some new furniture wherever we end up…sorry honey!  I also took 4 HUGE bags of clothes/old bedding/curtains/housewares to donate and that felt SO good.  Getting rid of STUFF that was just cluttering up my house AND helping others who need it.

 

4.     If we have a bar/counter seating at our next house…these are some of the options I like….it’s still fun to dream even though we don’t have a house to dream about!


Both of these are from Ballard.



 

 

5.     I just started Emily Giffin’s new book last night….I always enjoy her books, they are easy reads.  I read “Me Before You” recently, it was good…but I wasn’t obsessed like some seem to be.  I need to add a few more to my kindle before our beach week, any suggestions?



 

 

 

HAPPY WEEKEND!!!!

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
