The beginning of Summer

     Matt has been working really hard on the house, he took a few days off to work and got a lot done. We bought our cabinets and we have to paint them and then put them in. Then we'll need to tile the floor and get a counter, and a back splash. I feel like I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. My parents finished the shower and I love it! I am trying to pick a paint color now.





We bought a water table for Adrian and it is a lifesaver. He played with it forever today, he just loves water so much. It's nice not having to chase him through the yard. When he got bored with the table he started chasing birds. We have so many in the yard right now I keep thinking of the movie and side-eyeing the birds. We should buy a bird feeder and get on their good side.



     Apparently I've been watching Call the Midwife so much that as soon as I turned it on today Adrian yelled "Babies!" He knew what to expect.  I love hearing him talk more these days.

     We visited my parents while they babysat Michelle's kids and Hudson hugged Adrian right away but they both toppled over. It was very sweet! All the kids love each other. Adrian kissed Hudson several times and Caroline "flew" both the little boys in a box pretending it was a spaceship. He had a lot of fun and was too excited to even eat dinner.


I haven't shared the wreath I made for summer. I got tired of that teal one and stuck it on the door at the new house for now. I love the colors in this one, I just picked a bunch of felt and went for it.

Stop staring at the sun

Adrian is starting to learn numbers. He is starting to understand the gist of counting but he likes to use 8 and 10 over and over.  He also recognizes a lot of letters and likes to play with the magnetic alphabet on the fridge. Too bad over half of the letters have gone missing.


Leapfrog has a video about the moon that he recently found and now he is obsessed with the moon.  When we go out in the evening he points it out and jumps trying to get it. We went on a walk with my mom in the afternoon and he kept trying to stare at the sun, screaming "moon! moon!" I kept telling him "that's the sun, don't look at it" but what do I know.






The other day Matt had the computer and the tv so I decided to try a hair tutorial for fun.  I found a Rosie the Riveter inspired style.  I like how it looks from the side but I think it looks silly on me from the front.  The victory roll was hard! Maybe my hair is too long and thin.  It was still fun but Matt wasn't a fan of it.


On Tuesday I got a hair cut. I love it. I realized it had been over a year since my last visit to the salon. 



We're pretty boring this week. Matt started his new job and has a normal schedule now. I like it so much better. For some reason it helps me get more things done. I feel more motivated.  Tonight I'm making homemade pizza which I haven't tried yet. Then I think we will go look at appliances.
