I have not been good about blogging as of late...I have just bee soooo very busy. I am happy to say that there is only one room left to paint (the master bath). It's a two coater, so I will start on it tomorrow. Yesterday, I took the day off from painting. Instead, I unpacked some boxes in the garage. I needed to make room for JR to get the table saw out in order to cut the chair rail going up in Logan's room. JR has been doing Logan's room....it is blue on top and red on the bottom ...the red took 3 coats! yuck! and it will have white chair rail where the ttwo colors meet. We are ordering some Super Mario decals for his room, so I think it will look great! I finished painting Landry's room on Monday, and it's pretty darn cute. It's pink....and it's a lot of pink, but its a pastel, so it isn't too overwhelming. I will get some pictures...the problem is that then I have to take them to target to get them put on a cd...then I have to upload and save them on my computer. It's such a hassel, but then I get so far behind on photos...ughh!
Landry is so very smart! LOL - I know, I'm her mom, so I am biased. Anyway, last week, I took my phone to verizon. I had already dropped Logan off at school so it was just Landry and I. While the verizon guy fixed my phone, Landry watched the cars go by through the glass. She kept telling me about a yellow car...but there were no yellow cars, so I figured she just liked the word yellow, and maybe to her every color was yellow??? When we left, she let go of my hand and bolted. I followed her, telling her to stop running, and she actually stopped!! We were standing in front of the HEB carts, and she started pointing and telling me yellow car!...It finally hit, she wanted to ride in the yellow car cart! HA!
Yesterday, Logan came home with a little cross project they made at school, it had a bunch of different color foam stickers on it. Landry started naming the colors! I was so impressed. I knew that she knew some colors...but I guess I didn't grasp how well she knew them.
Landry is seriously such a ham. She is so animated when she talks, she just cracks me up. Last night JR got her food cut up and put it on the table for her..she said, "Gracias". Bwahahha..when I ask what color something is that is red, she says its rojo! She is just too cute, I can't believe how much I love her! It really is true that you can have two children and love them both the same amount, and yet differently at the same time. My kids are so different from each other, and yet so much the same!
Logan has NO inside voice. I am constantly telling him to be a little quieter, or to stop yelling, or to use his inside voice...but it never lasts! I think he may have grown an inch in the last week...I am probaly exaggerating, but he is getting so tall. He will probably be taller than me by the time he hits 12. I still can't believe I have a 5 year old. I don't feel like I am old enough to have a 5 year old! Logan has a t-ball game tonight, which is why I am taking another day of from painting. Instead I will try to organize a little...and unpack some more boxes.
I love my son. While he is very loud, he is also so sweet. He is so tender hearted, which I think its great (most of the time). JR wants hiim to toughen up a little, which I think he will as time goes by and he gets older.
I just checked the tracking number on our floors, they reached the destination terminal this morning...so, I am hoping that means that we will get the delivery today. They have to sit for 48 hours to get acclimated, so if we get them today, we will be ready to start this weekend. I am so ready to say goodbye to the carpet. It really isn't so bad in the living room and entry - and hello, it's brand new...but the carpet in the dining area drives me absolutely nutty!
Tomorrow, I will try to get some photos up, unfortunately it is taking too long right now!
