September 2016

We had so much family come and stay with us this month, It was awesome! Of course we took them to some of our favorite places, including the Heard Natural Science Museum. I love that place! 

Anyways, here is a little overview of our month! 

Cranky Kids, Baths, and Target, Oh My!

I took the kids (2 out of 3) to Target solo for the second time since having Gracyn. This time went MUCH smoother than the first. I did speed my way through the store to avoid any toddler melt downs, but it also kept me from buying all of the cute fall decorations. 

Seriously, it's all so stinking cute. 

I had planned on doing a lot more today but sometimes cranky kids have their own ideas. I think having a successful Target trip solo with two toddlers still counts as winning. 

Also, after styling Charlies hair today it's not as bad as I initially thought. It still needs to be fixed but I don't think I will be judged when I bring him out in public. 

Right? Maybe?!

   

Time For a Haircut

To botch or not to botch, that is the question...

House Tour

We spent the day organizing and cleaning out a good chuck of the house! I made sure to get a fun little house tour video in so that I can remember what it looked like before we started all of our projects. The video doesn't include the kids rooms or Andrew's office/guest room. Those rooms are storing the bulk of our boxes that still need to be unpacked. I will make sure to get a before picture of those rooms before I do a fun little video of the process of decorating them.

We are planning on tackling our living room and kitchen area first. In the kitchen we are going to add new back-splash tile (subway, of course) and new lighting. The living room will be getting wainscoting (all the way to the front door), a chalkboard somewhere, and lots of fun things hanging on the wall and over the fireplace. I will, of course, be showing you everything once we finish it! 

Now for the before tour! 

You may be asking yourself, "Did she start a YouTube channel?!" The answer is, yes, yes I did. I love this here blog but i'm not the greatest writer, so I think the videos will be a good way for me to document our life. Since the whole point of this is to create memories for our family. 

It should be noted that I am not loving my YouTube debut. But it's there, should you choose to watch it. I plan on doing much less talking in future videos. Like maybe none, we shall see.
