Oh the funny things

So, my daughter has a toy drawer in the kitchen of our house and her Grandma Fulton's house. Her new thing this month is to play with the toys and then play in the drawer. I just think she is dang cute.

We are playing house

Here are the pictures of the house as it is now. Blinds, couch, and all. It starts in our bedroom, our bathroom, Kaylee's bathroom, her bedroom, the laundry room, the kitchen, the dining area, and then the family room/entry. We are so happy to be in and have a little more time on our hands. Sometimes if I look back at the pictures of the not-so-much-done-house, I think about how I love it so much more right now. I'm glad we are done.

Okay, so it has been a while and I haven't been so hot at posting. There were a few cute pictures of Kaylee during a birthday party with the Fulton side of the family. The first was her fun time with her cake. Obviously, she enjoyed it. The rest were her playing in her new dress with her pink phone. I think I even had a phone like this when I was younger. Happy Birthday Kaylee (almost a month ago).

No need for makeup

So, I know, I know--I haven't gotten pictures of our finished house yet. We have internet now, but I'm not going to take pictures unless the house is clean. So, I promise I will clean my house to get final pictures of the "done" house. But in the meantime, I will tell you the super-funny thing I heard the other day. I really love my speech kids. I was doing "why" questions with a pretty high-functioning autistic kid. One of the questions was, "why do women wear makeup?" He kept starting at the wall (darn eye-contact) and said, "so they look pretty and they can get men to marry them." Who knew, it's only used to lure the mean in. That's it, it's all going in the trash tonight.

We are IN!

So, we are moved into the wonderful house! Everything is still in boxes and the computer I am working on is not moved yet, so pictures and more info later. Just wanted you to know. And to pray that our heat gets fixed. Our furnace went out last night and we had Kaylee sleep on a heater blanket. Fun Fun.

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLEE!! She turned one on Saturday. We went to the aquarium to celebrate. She loved the jellyfish and the slow moving fish, but was terrified of the fast-moving fish! Happy Birthday to my cutie and thanks to all her fun family who celebrate and sent and delivered presents!!

Does "almost' count in building houses, or is it just like horsehoes and such?

So here are the almost latest pictures of the house. Okay, so they are from a week ago. We have since gotten carpet (which definitely changed the look of the house), appliances, and (gasp) flushing toilets. If the stars align, we tap dance, wiggle our fingers and rub our belly at the same time, we might be ready for our final inspection on Wednesday. So, we are getting our fingers and toes ready. We'll get more up to date pictures soon when EVERYTHING is done!

Down with Work!

Okay, so work isn't a horrible thing. Yet, I am sitting here thinking about starting work next week (even though it is only 2 days) and that Clayton will have work all 40 hours of a work week and not being home with Kaylee and I. All that thinking made me think that it is no fun. Christmas and New Years are wonderful, but they just spoil us. So, just a shout out to anyone else who feels that going back to work is no fun. Good for us and the finances, but no fun.
