been a while . . .

My SIL says we are the busiest people she knows - and we are busy - but it is funny to me. I remember how envious I used to be of them when we first got married. Even though we would go out and do a few things, it seemed D & G were always getting together with church friends or other kid family friends or work stuff. Be careful what you wish for . . .
So we have been busy lately and here's a run down of a few things we've been up to.
1) we have some clean up to do but we have finished with D's room. We've painted. My parents put up the fairy wallpaper border. We've moved the dresser and clothes into new room. Most of the toys and books have been sorted and put away. D loves the "new" (my old brass) bed and how high it is. She slides off every morning "wheee." In the process of setting up D's new room, the computer has been moved to the den. This has made it difficult to check as often so haven't been able to blog as much lately.
2) Central Tx got some major storms so we saw some very cool lightning. We also got pea sized hail but didn't hurt the cars - yea!
3) we redeemed a day of cleaning gift we received and got the kitchen and den more organized so there is a little more order in the house.
4) we finally got 4 more fish to accompany our one, lonely fish and snail in the fish tank. It was hilarious. At first the lone fish was kind of freaked out then he got very excited. This type of fish will "flash" its colors when it tries to flirt with the gals. He'll get 2 deep black vertical stripes and his tail will turn a bright yellow-orange color. He was like that for almost 2 days straight. Now he is back to that mostly in the mornings only.
5) Lots of laundry has been done
6) Dogs have gone to vet for yearly appts.
7) I've got a Girls Night Out planned for next Monday
8) My first roses bloomed. The Easter Lilies are about to bloom. The lime tree has dropped most of its blooms and little limes are growing. We have some pretty big green tomatoes in the garden.
9) Had D's Parent/Teacher conference and got a good report. She is doing well in everything except for recognizing 3D shapes. She is especially good at identifying and counting money - haha.
10) We've picked out and bought fabric for the baby's nursery. My mom is working on the crib bumper and window curtains. T's parents are coming up this weekend to help paint the nursery. We still don't have a name for this baby. She is kicking and moving around a lot more.
So that's 10 things we've been up to. I'm sure there are more but it's time for me to go back to bed.
So excited there are only 2 days left until the weekend . . . Have a good Thursday :-)
