Slipping through my fingers

Well apart from feeling crummy, (tired, stressed, anxious, busy) I thought I was excited and happy for Allie to start school, I really thought i wouldn't be sad at all, I am SO excited for her to start this new phase, and I am admitting that I am excited to have some one on one time with Luke and 2 kids who nap mean I may get a nap, or some Momma time here and there now. But then I started realizing my baby is growing up. She will never not be in school again, (Well till she is all grown up at least ) She isn't a baby anymore, and she isn't going to be as loving and sweet all the time like she used to be. She will start having a life outside of the one she has had with me. I am so glad she didn't go last year for 100 reason. But I am so glad I had an extra year with my girl home. I hope she knows how loved she is, I hope I have taught her well enough, I hope she knows I am always going to be here for her. I want to hold onto her and not let her go, but I know I can't do that. So the fact is I am going to cry Thursday, Maybe even Tuesday. I love my Allie girl so much. I hope I am a good enough mom for her, I know I am blessed to have such a good daughter.

What ever you do don't Ever listen to ABBA's Slipping through my fingers right before your first child starts school ... Bad Idea....Very bad.

Some cuteness for your day

Can you believe this Beauty will be starting school next Thursday? NO, me either... don't worry her hair will be cut by then!

Oh mom you have the camera? Ok I am coming, you know how cute I am....take my picture...

why this is upside down... don't know... why Luke is stuck in that chair? I don't know that either but boy it was funny.

Seriously she loves her picture taken...
Dress up anyone?
Who is that Princess? Or Prince?
YIKES Luke had to dress up with all the girls.

Smart Allison

Yesterday Allison asked my why people run from their cities, I said what do you mean...
"You know like when something bad happens everyone in the pictures is running from their city"
Hmm, I am thinking too myself WHAT have you been watching on TV!
"You know mom like earthshakes"
Well Allie they are just trying to find someplace safe....
" Mom is Dragonfly TV real?" (PBS Science show)
yes
"Well then I know how earthshakes happen..." you do?
"Yes, There are DISHES under the ground that move and shake everything"
Ok I am thinking about that for a second... OH Plates! Right Dishes...
Allie you are too smart!

Work in progress...

Ok Ignore the mess but this is what we have so far...
dining and living rooms...
discovered that we have a Fabulous photoshoot yard! yeah!!!! See that cute Bee!
Another amazing sleeping position from Luke...And one from Phoebe

These two are best buddies, (when Luke isn't smothering her with too much Love) the Bee had a bit of Luke-ness to her, she is a Total ham, and loves when Luke is around, and when he is crying she laughs... Which I find So funny...

10 things Lucas did on Moving day

1. While Adam & Allie went to return the trailer and I was trying to get a few things put away Lucas dumped 3/4 of a BRAND new bottle of laundry detergent on the floor...
2. He and Phoebe crawled around in it and spread it around the living room.
3. Lucas tried to use a bottle of vinegar as a stepping stool, and fell and got a nice cut right next to his eye.
4. Sprayed Raid in his plastic house and closed the windows and refused to come out.
5. Sprayed his tricycle with Raid, AFTER I took it away from him and put it up high (underestimated him again)
6. Sprayed Phoebe with Raid after I put it up EVEN higher.
7. Poured water all over their bedroom floor.
8. Unmade Allie's top bunk
9. Stole goldfish from a little girl at the swimming pool, tried to start a fight when she put up a fuss.
10. Finally went to sleep In his new Big Boy Bunk bed, but this morning pointed out to us that he slept with a can of Lysol...

amid my madness...

As we are in the middle of this move I am going nuts....
Overtired kids, momma packing away, Phoebe and Lucas unpacking away...Allie Momma #2, Tired! hazy, Hot Humid...Cleaning cleaning cleaning...Laundry, isn't that cleaning? Dishes too, you mean I have to make dinner? With what? Tired...Humid, sweaty, Crazy! Bunkbeds, mops, wheres the broom...Where is Luke? Nope we are still Not done!

Well anyway, Phoebe got a tooth the other day! Just pushing on through! She is so cute and sweet and is crawling FAST! she is like Turbo speed kid now, and is a hazard to herself. But I guess Next week I will hopefully be sleeping better since she will have her own room and Hopefully won't get woken up, or be waking Luke Up, so it is Sleep through the night training time! YEAH! Momma will love it!

PS, Yes I am crazy at this point...
Here is Allie with her cool 1980's side ponytail! looks pretty cute actually!

chewing on the fingers...good sign of new tooth...

See it??? No well really it is there...

Moving

Palmyra temple trip....Flowers!

We ventured out to Palmyra yesterday with our friends for a trip to the temple, and the Chill N Grill, which was yummy! It was a long day but fun, Thankfully it held out raining till we got home!

Aren't these flowers so pretty! I love the ones above I wish I knew what they were they are Lovely!

I love the sunflowers so pretty!

Bad news...

Phoebe learned out to crawl up stairs today! YIKES! Watch out world, she is a woman with a mission!

More house....

View from living room corner with built in bookshelf into dining room...
One of my favorite parts Love this door and the little Mudroom it leads to! Where I will hang my IKEA coat rack, and hopefully find a cute little bench for my little ones to sit on and take off their shoes.

Creepy laundry room which needs a coat of paint and a new light.

Below the Basement play/TV room...Which need a seriously deep cleaning and it is going to get carpet cleaned Stinkin' Cat

The living room Below....Adam said tonight, no one ever expected to really use that fireplace since there is no way to gate it off.. OUCH! Too bad our TV won't fit in the built in.

My little pantry! YEAH!

My kitchen...

Middle size bedroom with the Stupid wallpaper boarder, WHY!!!!!! there is also a gap in it next to the right window Again...WHY!!!!! We could take down the boarder and paint the whole thing which is a Serious temptation!Phoebe's bedroom, those window shades make that room about Blacked out which is AWESOME!
