I have been so busy recently – sorry for not posting anything since August. I find that it’s hard to blog when I have a spare moment because those times are so far and few between. That’s what it at least seems like.
So Grace is in school. Yay for afternoon kindergarten! She loves it and seems to be thriving. I knew she would, but it was still hard to let go initially. That first day when she got on the bus and the doors closed behind her…. I thought for sure I had just cut off my right arm. The separation was so real and raw. But, I had to suck it up because Becca was hysterically upset that Grace got to go on a bus and she didn’t. Thankfully school started a week later for Becca. Still no bus for her yet, but she’s happy to be going to school too. 
Oh, and it was so easy for me to have Bec go to school. She’s my little social butterfly and I’m not worried one bit about her confidence in that area. I am however nervous about her being developmentally behind the other kids since she’s by far the youngest in the class. Time will tell I suppose.
One bit of exciting news is that we are redoing our bedroom. Yippie! We took EVERYTHING out of our room… and all that was in our room is now in the hallway and Noah’s bedroom. I can’t wait until I have my hallway back. Anyway, Rich pulled up the carpet which the cat had decided to pee all over and sanded the floor. After the 3rd coat of polyurethane I am beyond thrilled with how it looks! Good job Rich! So I decided that we might as well paint the room since it’s empty. It’s something that I’ve wanted to do and it’s the perfect time. I picked out a brown color. It’s a lighter brown – but still definitely brown. I am going to paint the inside of our closet an orang-y red color (called new penny) and then throw in some other vibrant colors with decor. I can’t wait for the room to be done. My goal is to have it all painted by Saturday. Can’t wait!
I am also planning on posting some recent pictures soon. They are still on my camera and I don’t have time at the moment to download them. But there are pics from first days of school for both girls, our day trip to Dutch Wonderland, and our fun day at the zoo and aquarium – we went to both places yesterday. So fun!
