We finally got moved into our new house! It has been awesome. We absolutely love how much more space we have. We feel spoiled and very grateful to be able to live in our new house!
Our house already had a garden planted and ready to eat from when we moved in. I have never gardened before, so we only figured out what things were by people coming over and me showing them the garden, and them telling me what was in it! The girls have loved playing out there and picking the stuff that is ripe. We have; lettuce, strawberries, peas, cilantro, chives, mint, basil, beets, radishes, and carrots (and maybe some other stuff we dont know about. The girls have to help weed and water the garden weekly as one of their chores. Its been great to get in some practice for when we decide to plant next year!
The kids have also been doing a fair amount of bike riding. Greg has to take them since this momma can barely walk without being out of breath right now.
I have been keeping busy with one of my hobbies: couponing and price matching. I like to challenge myself and see how much money I can save our family when shopping. I have always loved a good deal, but kind of taken it to the next level.
Shopping has a mission for me: To save the most amount of money possible
For example:
I spent $10 and got all this:
Spent $10 and got all this:
I spent $32 and got ALL this!
All this costs over $70, but I bought it for $30
I love bargin shopping on everything. I got this awesome canvas painting that cost $70, for $14 on clearance. Its going to go in Brylies Room.
Kaden changed the theme of her room to owls, and to redo her bed, get this cute owl cut out for her wall and recover her bulletin board with owl fabric cost us about $15
The big girls are also going to summer school for two weeks. They have only been doing fun activities! They have had lots of fun. Its only half a day, so that leaves me home alone with this crazy kid again.
She loves making everyone laugh. (She was eating a chic covered donut and making faces)
And we have been preparing for the arrival of our baby boy. The girls helped me paint his dresser recently. Im finally having a boy, so you better believe there will be BLUE everywhere! We have been consignment and garage sale shopping, and gotten all the clothes we will need for the first year! Daddy set the crib up and we have arranged his room. His room is going to have a dinosaur theme. Gma Kelli is still working on his bedding, and I am working on some wall art that matches.
We have already had a little scare with him trying to come early I was having continuous contractions one day last week. I finally went in after having 20 in 2 hours. It took them 5 hours, 4 different shots and 2 bags of IV fluids to get them to go away. I am already dilated too, so I am supposed to be taking it easy now to try and keep him in longer.
We are so excited to get to meet him soon, but want him to wait until he is healthy and strong enough!
As you see, we are plenty busy around here so thats why I haven't been blogging as much. We are loving summer and having a blast!
