Picture Post!

Right now at this very moment I am very very tired.  Instead of writing a bunch of stuff, I thought I'd just post a bunch of photos so you can see what we have been up to lately.  

Ok, first, I gave Amelie a hair cut.  Bye bye toddler mullet.


Then I made artichokes.  The little thorns on those things are sharp!



Tyler installed the bathroom doors.  At this very moment he is putting another coat of paint on them.



And we finished our upstairs master bedroom!  


This is the nook area


And here is our closet area (which now has clothing in it.)  I'll add more photos later, it's dark out now so I'd get crappy photos.


The rail around the stairs.


This is currently where we sleep.  Our box spring won't fit up the stairs  (oopsies), so we are going to pick up a platform bed from someone on craigslist tomorrow.  



This is currently what the nook looks like, although we are working in getting some lounge type chairs up there eventually.



I painted Amelie's toenails and fingernails blue at her request.  Then she got her pink pants full of blue nail polish.



This is her blowing her nails dry.


We had to sell the sweet Goodwill couch because, that too, did not fit upstairs.  Then I rearranged the living room to better suit our current couch.


New configuration.  



I wore this awesome adult onsie for a while.


I made some dishwasher detergent.


I made some laundry detergent.  Although next time I am using Dr. Bronner's bar soap, Fels Naptha is too perfumey.


We cleaned out the basement and the garage.  Yikes, there was so much garbage down there.  




I made some terrariums.



I sanded these windows to re purpose for inside the house.  I need to finish cleaning them and painting at least 2 of them though.  Maybe tomorrow.


Amelie and I went to the cabin.


While at the cabin I made some deodorant, which works better than any natural deodorant I have tried and I LOVE!


Amelie cleaned grandma T's dirty feet.


Grandma T and I took Ami for a drive so she would nap and got some flowers and herbs and strawberries at the nursery.


Grandpa Jeff took us on a boat ride and taught Ami how to go fishing.  


During the HOT beginning of this week we played in the sprinkler.


I had an appointment with my midwives and Amelie was excited and jumped up onto the bed and lifted up her shirt so Clare could check out her "baby."


Notice she is using the kids Dr. kit tools.


And...tonight we relaxed to an episode of Dora before Amelie went to bed after our long day of fun and household chores.

Oh, hello...

Poor blog, I've been neglecting you.  I will post a real good update soon.  Right now I am just toooooo tired.  I spent the day...the whole day except for naptime...outside with Amelie planing flowers and playing in the water.  I am spent.  I am going to head upstairs to our brand new bedroom to watch TV and fall asleep.  I will post some photos of our new remodel soon.  Oh, and I'm already 34 weeks pregnant.  What the what?!
