Too much Playtime

What mom doesn't want her children to take a nap everyday? I am a firm believer of naps. However with everything going on right now, Jenna's naps have been very sporadic and sometimes she only gets to cat nap. The other day she did not get a nap at all. When Jessie got home from school, we did homework, breathing treatment, and I started dinner. It's all the usual stuff. Jeff was going to be home late, so I went ahead and told the girls to come and eat. Jessie came right away, (the meds she is on right now REALLY gives her an appetite) and Jenna of course didn't come, didn't come, so I went in to check on her...... this is what I found:

She was out! I took a few pictures, and then let her sleep. She woke up about 45 minutes later. When I told her she had fallen a sleep she didn't believe me (because I would lie about that you know) so I had to show her the pictures. She thought it was pretty funny!

I decided that everyone would want to see how the family room turned out : ) I was very worried about how dark the carpet was, because I saw it at night for the first time, but then the next day with all the natural light I decided it's ok.

I wanted to show off my print that inspired my "rust" wall in the 1/2 bath, but the picture didn't turn out very well. So sorry, but I already had down loaded the picture and wasn't taking it off :)

Friday we are getting our dining room furniture, outside frig, and the girls art table from some friends house that have been storing it for us. Saturday we have a couple of friends coming over and two young pups that work for Jeff coming over to help. I am hoping to get our beds, family room furniture and kitchen table moved so we can stay at the new house Saturday night. Then Sunday we will move the rest of the big stuff. I'm hoping by the end of the weekend everything will be moved and Sunday night we can put up our Christmas tree.

The girls keep asking me when we get to put it up, but I think what they really want to know is when are there presents going to be under it!

New Pictures of the house

Well it only took 4 days, 4 friends to help and 2 1/2 trucks loads of sod (1.5 acres). But we finally got all the yard done. On Sunday our friends Chad Ervin and Todd Doyle helped Jeff and I lay the sod in the front and side yard. We ordered another truck load and it arrived on Tuesday. On Wednesday some more friends Ryan and Mike Moore helped us lay some in the back and other side, but it got too warm out and we had to stop because it was getting too muddy. So Friday after Thanksgiving Jeff and I laid the rest of the sod ourselves, and ordered almost another truck load. We laid that by ourselves on Saturday. Sunday we woke up and we had snow on the ground. So we got it done right on time!!! Front yard

This is the only picture I got to take of the back yard. But the rest of the yard got grass as well. I was going to take a picture on Sunday when we went back out to the house, but....

This is the master shower or as everyone refers to it as "Jeff's Shower". He is very excited that he doesn't have to duck to get under the shower head and he can put his arms out and spin around if he wants (Great visual, I know). I on the other hand may have to put a step stool in the shower to reach the shower head!

This is part of the Master Bedroom.

Our Ohio State Office. I got all the cutting in done on Sunday... so glad to be done with all the painting.

Our dining room, off of the foyer.

Our foyer. They matched the handrail stain to our hardwood floors, and we have black wrought iron ballasters (sp?)

Part of our family room. The brown color is the same "poop" color that is in the kitchen. Because it is all open, there was no where to stop the color. I am finally getting used to it.

Jessie's bedroom. She was very upset that I toned down the pink in her room. She wanted all the walls (except the brown wall) to be that hot pink that is in her bathroom.

Todd and Chad trying to figure out the rake! :)

Now that all the painting that Jeff and I have to do is done (Jeff wants to touch up a few places, but for the most part it is finished) and the sod is done, we can focus on getting everything ready to move. The electricians will finish up this week. The plumbers will come on Wednesday to finish up the lights, and the carpet gets laid on Thursday and Friday. We will do a final walk through next week, to see what is left, the cleaning lady comes and we can start putting stuff in the house on Friday. We will move over the weekend, and close on Monday......the 15th. YEAH!!!!!!!!

Missing Baylee

Almost every night we go to Danna's to see Baylee. She has been traveling a lot for work so we have been staying there too. Below is Jenna and Baylee laying on Baylee's chair. Danna has a chair and ottoman that Baylee has decided is hers. She loves that she gets to lay on furniture. She is in for a rude awakening when she finally gets to come home. We went to my parents house for Thanksgiving. The girls love to lay on the floor and scream and Baylee will kiss them.

Jenna and Jeff are seen below. She was cuddling with her dad, and he would tickle her belly. She thought this was very funny.
