i am domesticated


i have realized the more i am home
the more i want to
buy.
decorate.
clean.
organize.
reorganize.
redecorate.
repaint.
....
i have a list of MANY things i want to do
and i FINALLY got to cross one off
thanks to this lovely lady
 
(i stole this pic from her blog)

Beavs
aka
Becky

becky is pretty crafty
so i asked her to teach me how to make some pillows
for my couch.
she helped me with a couple
and then i went home and opened up my sewing machine
that my mom gave me for by birthday.
it took me awhile to thread the machine...
i had to watch the dvd that came with it!
and now i am finally finished..
i made seven total and
i love how they turned out!


also i have to keep bragging for a minute
because i got the deal of the century!
don't be jealous.
i have been searching for a new rug for my front room
but i didn't want to spend $200.
i was at target awhile ago and i found one on sale that i liked
and it was $80 -
so i decided to buy it.
i got up to the check out and the guy rang me up
and the rug was
$35!!
i couldn't believe my luck...
i asked him if he was sure and he just looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and said,
"that is what it rang up for, so take it!"
yay!

bless their ♥'s

for the past three weeks i have been going to the rec center to work out - which is a big deal for me cause i am kinda lazy! close to every day i see this older couple, probably in their late seventies.  actually there are a lot of older people working out there which made me feel even more lazy, but thats not the point! today i was on the eliptical and i saw my favorite couple walk in. the husband got on the machine right next to me and his wife made her way to the track.   for the next 30 minutes i watched the husband keep a watchful eye on his wife and whenever she would pass him so they could see each other they would both wave! it was the cutest thing - every time she would pass him they would both wave like they had not seen each other five minutes ago!

kurt always laughs at me because old people usually make me sad...
 (one time when i was about 8 years old it was christmas time and my family was driving to my grandmas house. on the way we passed a house where i saw an old woman who was sitting by herself in here front room, and i automatically thought she was all alone and had no family.. ever since then old people make me sad!)
but i love my rec center couple, they made my day!

8 months!

i can not believe greta is eight months old today...
it breaks my heart that she is getting so old!
but this is such a fun age so i guess its ok.

what grets is doing at 8 months:
♥ so close to crawling but still getting around really fast with the army crawl
♥ clapping her hands together
♥ will occasionaly manage a wave
♥ says da da
♥ loves to play with any sort of tag
♥ likes to play with her carseat
♥ starting to pull herself up
♥ always wants to play with any sort of electronic

we recently got some family pics taken,
here are a few of grets.
i will put more up later on of everyone
when i get them all back.
thanks tiff for the cute pictures!

the good and the bad


this poor girl is sick
coughing..
runny nose..
watery eyes..
...
she has been waking up the past two nights
screaming
and pulling at her ears
she is so congested at night
so she can't keep her bink in
which makes for waking up every hour
not good for me or her!
but thank goodness
she does not have an ear infection!

in other news

he got a promotion..
and is now a seasonal supervisor!
he will be a supervisor for the next few months
during the busy holiday season
it is only a seasonal position
but hopefully it will lead to something permanent in that area
yay!

read these books

 i know pretty much EVERYONE has read these books
.....


so i caved and read them too..
loved all three!
i read them all in about a week
and was so sad when i finished.
the first book was definitely my fave,
and i know a lot of people didn't like
mockingjay but i thought it was a good ending
considering everything that happened.
these books are so much better than twilight!
WAY better writing and more suspense.
now what should i read?

chompers

this little monkey


has TWO teeth!


it seems like all of the sudden they just appeared
she has been a bit fussy
but nothing too bad...
and then a couple days ago
kurt was feeding her and said
"uh i think she has a tooth!"
i couldn't believe it, so i called to tell my mom
and chloe was there and said
"oh yeah, i saw it yesterday"
thanks for telling me chlo!
so little grets is growing up
she is now 7.5 months and is
sitting up
crawling
eating food
speaking in full sentences
reading at a 2nd grade level
...
kurt and i are really proud of her!
