some stuff.

Its only Tuesday.

We have already had quite the week.

As I pulled into Church on Sunday, a fellow ward member informed me that I was sporting a very flat tire.

Indeed, it was tres flat.

Thanks to a large and not-so-lovely nail.

Did I mention this tire was a whole 9 days old?

Annoying.

So Monday morning Carly and I head to Sams Club nice and early to give us plenty of time before our Visiting Teaching appointment. I packed her breakfast and everything. Good thing, because we were there for a whopping 2 hours. And were 30 minutes late for our appointment.

At least the new new tire was free under the warranty.

Then we visited our elderly visiting teachee . . . where Carly promptly threw dominoes all over the place.

Good times.

{hanging in Sams . . . forever.}

Monday evening for our FHE activity we went shopping for Spartans shirts in preparation for the football game we will be attending this coming Saturday.

We all look much better in green than we did in orange.

This morning Carly and I went to playgroup.

I do enjoy playgroup.

Its nice to socialize.

And its really nice how much it wears Carly out.

I can count on a good Tuesday afternoon nap.

Knock on wood.

I spent today's nearly 3 hour napping folding a million loads of laundry and watching my new TLC fav, Quints by Surprise. I think they are cute. Fingers crossed they don't end up like Jon and Kate.

{barely surviving after another exhausting playgroup.}

This one is just cute.

I would take a picture, then show it to her on the camera.

She found it highly amusing.

Ok, that's it.

But want to see how crafty I am?

Chris keeps teasing me about how keep painting things.

But on Saturday our ward had "Super Saturday".

One of the projects were these photo blocks where you paint them black/brown/white and put pictures on them. Well, we aren't in need of anymore pictures of ourselves around here, so I decided to bring the purple paint I've been using for things in Carly's new room and make family blocks.

Now she has blocks for all of my family and Chris's family.

Its a little way for her to know her grandparents, aunts, and uncles even though they are so far away.

She already loves playing with them and pointing at each face.

That's all.

Bring on Wednesday.

welcome to the c house.

Our living room was clean the other night, so I took pictures.

We are mostly done with our new place, except the kitchen and Carly's room.

Ok, that doesn't sound almost done, but it is.

I have about 50 things I would still like to do.

Good thing we have 4 years here.

I'm not going to pretend I'm some super decorator.

I haven't the craftiness, nor the finances.

But we did want to make our place a nice place to be.

So have a look at our living room/office area.

I "pointed out" some things that make this house our home.

Home Sweet Home.

{more to come, if it ever gets finished/clean}

P.S. Brought two of these little beauties home from Target for Carly's room. Can't get over how much I adore them. A big giant thank you to my parents for Carly's belated birthday money. And another one to both her grandmas for the recent boxes full of fall clothes.

That means I got so spend some of her birthday money on purple ruffles.

the daddy monster.

Carly loves running from the daddy monster.

She gets so riled up, she can hardly stay standing.

And she really loves getting caught by the daddy monster.

Enjoy the part at the very end when she tries to run out the window and smacks her head on the glass. A lot of crying took place afterwards, but its hilarious.

{Oh, and enjoy our new kitchen floor, which used to be carpet and old white linoleum}

P.S.

Oooo . . . and a sneak peek at our bedroom.

Things are coming together.

It's starting to look like a home.
