Around the House . . .


I made a new craigslist purchase! It's kind of addicting. It's so easy to find something I like at a great price, I just can't help myself. We needed something to set a lamp on in our front room, and this table was pretty perfect. Great fit for the space, pretty and not too heavy looking. Most of our furniture is dark wood, so I like how this has a glass top and a lighter feeling. It was forty dollars and a three minute drive away. Here are a couple more pics of the new piece in our new place:



Also around the house . . . Madeline finished the third book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. She stays up pretty late reading, and I love peeking in her room to see her light aglow and her nose in her book. I think I mentioned before how having an extra bedroom has improved bedtime . . . Where I used to hear talking, playing, bouncing, and nagging between the two girls, I now hear nothing. This is what's going on at bedtime now:



Most of last weekend was rainy. We stayed indoors for the most part and caught some sunshine through the windows. Leah loves to sit on our bed and watch the goings on down below through our bedroom window.

The girls love dressing her in tutus . . .


And . . . Eddy and Rae came to spend Monday with us. The four girls had a lot of fun. Madeline is a huge help with the little ones; she adores babies and toddlers. It was a nice opportunity for me to get to know my nieces better. They are super sweet girls.
