Finally, A Place To Call Home

I finally put a few pictures of our house on the blog for those of you who really wanted to see it. It is such a work in progress, & there is still so much I'd like to do, but Derek keeps reminding me, "one thing at a time". The only thing we've managed to do is to paint the kid's rooms, & they seem to really like having their own space again. We are getting to know a few of our neighbors & everyone seems really nice. Brandon has found a new best friend in the neighborhood, so we get together for play dates once a week which has been really nice for me and for the kids!! He is loving his preschool class & gets so sad when it is the weekend, & he isn't able to go. Peyton loves playing with her dolls & loves anything to do with princesses. She is turning into quite the girly girl. Everyday she wants her nails painted a different color & would sleep in a princess dress if I let her!! They are so much fun, & they make us laugh everyday. We miss you all & hope everyone is doing great!!!

Ginger Bread House

The kids have been begging me to make a ginger bread house, so we finally did on saturday. We had so much fun making it together, but they ate so much of the decorations that by the end we didn't have enough candy to finish the house. Our sad little ginger bread house is withering away because everyday they want to eat a little more of it. It really is quite a sad little house: ) I know that in the picture they look kinda' sad, but I promise they were happy at one time (& yes, Peyton is a happy little girl. I just can't seem to get her to look that way for a picture).
