Sweet Lyrics of my Life

The house is fantastic, and I love love love it. I still have to paint the entire upstairs, but with it not having any heat yet, I'm not worried about getting it totally finished. I set up Haleigh's room and her bed, but she doesn't have to sleep up there if she doesn't want to. She comes home tomorrow from being with her grandparents for a week, so I'm excited to see her reaction to our new home. We were still living at the apartment when she left.

Hayden's walking everywhere now, copying animal sounds, yelling "MAMA!", and is still obsessed with fans, lights, and switches. Oh and tools also. So guess what he's getting for Christmas!

Some fun house photos!!

The living room is finished!



Looking into the kitchen. The last thing I need is some blinds for the windows. And maybe an area rug for the bad patch of carpet by the kitchen entry. Shanny's doing some weird demon-cat thing, sitting on the counter in the kitchen.



Hayden says hi! I'm noticing now that I need to get another valance for that small window.



Small but perfect.

Hayden's room! It is so perfect for a little boy and he loves it.

Haleigh helped me paint my bedroom in her Halloween costume.

I helped out at her Halloween party at preschool. Here, she's showing me her donut she won. They tied mini donuts to a pole with yarn, and the kids raced to eat them without using their hands. Too funny.

I took this photo as the kids were coming in from the Halloween parade. All of the parents were there to surprise them, and most got really emotional! Haleigh was just beside herself that I was there, and she really lost it, except she couldn't get to me right that second with all the people. It took her quite a while to let go of me and participate in the Halloween games, but eventually she went off with her group and had a good time. I'm so glad I was able to go help out!
