Rearranging

So we did it. Just decided this weekend to just do it. We have switched all the rooms around. And it is still utter chaos. We were only able to get the big things (furniture and the like) moved before we had to quit. Jonah's old room is now the office, our old room is now Jonah's, and the old office is now our room. I'm excited for the change and for the chance to reorganize and redecorate, to simplify and get rid of things we really don't need and now for Jonah to have a "big boy bed" to sleep in. When faced with having the put the crib back together, we just decided to convert it into the toddler bed. And so far so good. It means that Jonah decides that 6 AM is a good wake up time now and comes into our room, yelling our names and telling us he's "hungy". It's a good, fun thing though to take a new step with him and see him adapting so well to it. I'll post pictures as soon as the house is presentable to show. Going to Ikea in a few weeks to get Jonah's bday present, so we'll probably get some new things then to show too.

New product

Over break I did get a chance to crochet like I wanted to. Found a great pattern for headband/ear warmers. They look like this:


If you want one or know anyone else who does, let me know.
I would charge $12. You'll find that's a very competitive price. Get one before winters over!

Christmas and the like

We had a wonderful christmas. Pretty much spent the entire weekend with family. I think we only went home to sleep for most of it. We opened our presents as a family on christmas eve and went over christmas morning so Jonah could help the kids open their presents.




Got this Frog from my parents. He loves giving his stuffed animals kisses.


Ball pit from Grandma & Grandpa (dad's side). Sharing it with Rocky. We had to put it away once all the kids wanted to climb in and Jonah threw a tantrum. It wasn't charming. But atleast we know he likes it.


Beka and Nathan came to visit and Jonah loves his little cousin Issac.


This is what happens when I go to sleep with wet hair.


Looks like he's camwhoring with the position of his arm and his expression. So cute!

With the New Year here, I have no resolutions. I'm just taking it easy, just in general trying to eat healthier and exercise better. Trying to take better care of myself.

With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied

These pictures really do not do it justice. It starts out all crazy sticky uppy and ends up flat, but sort of winged out to the side. In short:AWESOME! I really need to get some better pictures next time it happens. If there ever is a repeat.

So now that 30 for 30 is over, I haven't been posting everyday. Which now feels strange and foreign. But true to myself, I did wear t-shirts and jeans for about the first 3 days after finishing. And went shopping at Charlotte Russe to break the band. Got 4 items of clothing for <$20 during their Haul Sale. You should check it out. I've been very pleased with their clothes every time I shop there. Cute, good quality for the prices you pay. And their pants fit very true to size. Not much stretch at all, so they stay up! And if you've been reading you know I've had trouble with that lately. Here's some examples of the fantastic clothes I bought there the other day.



Cardigan: AE 2009 ($10); Top: Charlotte Russe 2010 ($5); Pants: CORDS! Charlotte Russe 2010 ($5); Shoes: Toms 2010 ($25); Necklace: Gift 2006. Less that $50 for an outfit. I'm pretty proud.

With only 5 days until christmas, are you ready? Yeah, me neither. Good luck! And have a Happy Holiday if I don't see you before then.

Tribute to Marriage

I love my life. I know marriage is sacred and wonderful. My friend did a wonderful tribute here. Go check it out. Show your love and support.

End of it all

Picasa's not my favorite tool, but its the easiest to use.


The 30 wasn't completely successful, but it was fun to do. My favorites are #1, 8, 11, 14, 18, and 29. I know I said 29 isn't really my style, but in theory and picture its one of the prettiest. Which ones are your favorites?

That's the end...

Day 30: December 14th, 2010


Top: Gap 2007; Pants: ON 2010; Shoes: ON 2005 (Keeping it all in the family)

And there ain't no more! 30 is over and done! The first thing I'm going to wear is a t-shirt and jeans. That is if my jeans decide they want to fit. I just bought these a few weeks ago in the next size down (I know, you're not supposed to shop during. But I figured buying the same thing, but in a size that fit didn't count) and they're already driving me crazy and I hate having to pull up my pants every 2 minutes. I was never a girl who worried or noticed. They always seemed to fit before, so the stretch of Old Navy, Gap jeans was never a problem. But now I hate it! I just want to buy pants that fit when I buy them and continue to. I know the stretch is convenient sometimes, but I don't want to have to wash my pants everyday. Does anyone know of any good jeans that don't stretch or at least as much as my current ones do?
