Is it true?

I just took my boys to meet the teacher last night and I can't believe this day has finally come! Wow! I think we are all ready for this. Their teachers seem adorable and sweet and the boys classrooms are right next to eachother.  That is so nice. They can see eachother everyday, a few times a day.

My mom and I went Christmas shopping yesterday too. We had a fun filled day of store hopping for the best prices and we found some awesome deals. My mom is an organized machine. She knew she wouldn't have time to get everything wrapped around the holiday's, so she's doing it all right now. Smart lady. I'm thinking gift cards for all of the kiddies this year. I know. That's not very fun to open up on Christmas morning, but I'm going to have a lot going on then too. My oldest is getting to a point where he wants to pick out his own presents now anyway. Mom never gets him anything cool.  Even my 4 year old asked me to get him something cool this time. That one made me feel soooooo good.

We found bedding for #1's room. Colors: Black, cream, and tan striped quilt with matching shams. Now all I have to do is sand his headboard and footboard and paint them black. Is there anyone out there that just absolutely loves to do that and wants to do it for free for me? :) We are very over budget on building our house and I have nothing extra to spare. We are doing a ton of work ourselves on the house in order to save money. Oh, and did I mention that we are extremely stupid for doing this during summer? I can't be at the place for more than 4 hours or I start to get heat stroke.

For #1's room I was thinking about having vinyl quotes from the prophets and primary song lyrics all over his room. What do you think? I want to decorate his room with colors and things that he can grow with. Not a fan of having to change the theme every few years. I need to figure out a window treatment though. I used to do this for a living so I'm sure I can do it again. I'm thinking cornice box with striped fabric and black buttons. Should be fun! Gotta get the house finished first!

Oh Blah Di, Oh Blah Dah, Life goes on. Even though we feel stuck, everything around us keeps moving along. That is the only constant. Change. Thank heavens. That means that even the bad times can't last forever!
