Hubby T has spent this cold, rainy Saturday settling into the house in his Hubby T way while I trudged my way through school work and the boys ran around not distracting us too badly. I love our house and I love the way it's coming together so for those who have been wondering, here are a few of my new favorite things...
I designated our eat-in kitchen space as the boy's play space. This little man is taking to playing art just as wholeheartedly as his big brother, and I love that they're not doing it on my table anymore!
This is
my spot my friends! My awesomely wise mother-in-law encouraged me to spend the extra money to buy a kitchen island with bar stools, even though I wasn't sure how they would fit into the kitchen (note that the second one doesn't, but that's okay) and boy was she right! Every afternoon during nap/quiet time, I park it here with my drink and school books and go to town. (No, the wine glass is not my normal afternoon drink:) I love that the kitchen is my space and that it's my favorite room in the house. And if you were to sit in this chair and turn around this is what you would see...
Mommy Command and Control! I decided to make this counter/cupboard space work as my desk instead of buying one. It's a little tight but I love having space for me again:) And speaking of personal space, check out this cutie.
Sorry for the back lighting, but this is the view from his doorway so you get a sense for most of his room. As you can tell by the disheveled look of things, he's had no trouble making himself right at home (once Gramma and Grampa provided replacement bed rails so that we could actually put his mattress on his bed, thanks again!)
I asked Hubby T to hang this right outside Little B's room. It's a reminder of the wonderful friend who took these pictures back when our family was still teeny tiny, and of how far this amazing boy has come.
The tree in our front yard is completely encircled by these somewhat overgrown but still beautiful daisy plants! I noticed all the buds about to pop on the day we moved in. A really fun, unexpected treat from our yard:)
The previous owner put this on the wall above the back door in the kitchen area. A little cheesy but nice sentiment, especially considering my last favorite...
Family dinner in our family dining room! We finally have a comfortable space for the lovely dining room set that Hubby T and I bought when we got married. The leaf is permanently in the table and two more chairs will be ordered shortly to make sure we always have room for others around our table. Come visit soon friends!
