Both of my kids slept all through the night last night, both in their own beds. It doesn’t happen often so when it does, I have to acknowledge it. I wish it would be this way every night but not yet. One day…it will. I believe it.
Our screened in porch is coming along. I am so excited to have this project completed. It has been almost a year since we moved in (November) and I’ve been patiently waiting for it to happen. It’s probably half way there now. And what’s even better is it is just in time for fall. I feel the days getting cooler and the evenings are great. Soon I can go outside and sit without worrying about mosquitos and other random bugs attacking me. I think I’m a bug magnet. I hate bugs.
I’m slowly working through my house trying to get it clean and clutter free. I’m also working on the smaller details that I haven’t had time to address since we moved in. Mostly decorating details which I am not so great at. I am not very creative so I am searching the internet and pinterest for ideas on each room I’m working in. There are so many things I want to do or re-do, but I’m taking my time. It’s the only way to go when you have two young kids who demand your attention if they are awake.
Weight Watchers is going great. As of Monday, I was down around 12 pounds. Still love it. Still scouring the internet for blogs and other websites for recipes I can use. My mom is also doing the plan now. She’s been on it about three weeks now. She’s not getting as much weight off as she wanted, but she’s not going up on the scale either.
We’re taking Lyla to her first college football game this weekend. It’s at both mine and Corey’s alma mater which is North Carolina State University. It should be awesome! She’s done great at sporting events over the past year. Britt will be staying with Grandma and Grandpa. He is not quite ready. But one day soon. Oh yeah!
I can’t believe it is almost fall. Summer has flown by. I’m not a fan of summer and the heat but I don’t want life flying by so quickly. Anyway, I’ll definitely be enjoying fall since that’s one of my favorite seasons. I have that brand new screened porch to enjoy along with all the fall festivals and hay rides that are available. I would love to get to the mountains this fall. What a beautiful place North Carolina has to experience. I would love to take the kids to Tweetsie Railroad and Grandfather Mountain. It might have to wait one more year but I haven’t ruled it out yet. So much to do. I love it!
