Hannah decided yesterday was the day to take the training wheels of her new bike. She has been riding her electric scooter for some time so we knew she had the balance to do it. Took her 4-5 tries and she was off riding with her friends in the circle. She doesn't let anything get in her way and she wants so bad to be like the big girls! Very proud of this fearless little girl. Olivia is very encouraging and does great to include her in playing with new friends.
Its been hectic since we moved in to say the least. It seemed like as soon as we were fully unpacked and the house was put together, it was time to decorate for Christmas.
The girls have been so excited about the holidays. We officially have 4 trees up and decorated. They each have one in their rooms, one in the loft upstairs that turned out to be the favorite, and out big fat one downstairs.
They both asked for bikes, gelarti, easy baked oven supplies, 1 Direction and Hunter Hayes CDs and some other little things.
This is Hannah's room! Followed by Olivia's room, the loft and the playroom. Stay tuned for more!
We have cabinets in the kitchen and ask the bathrooms. And sinks I'm the bathrooms too!
Lots of big news! We have a mailbox, kitchen and bathroom floors, faucets, fireplace, water heater, air units and filters. Things are moving along well! 33 days days to go!
They started laughing the house this weekend. It's a little darker than I expected but its not finished so we will see. They also have delivered all the cabinets and sinks! I think this is going to be an amazing week of change!
My baby girl never ceases to amaze me. I ended up having to work 1/2 day on my birthday and I tried to reschedule my lunch with Hannah for next week. She said "but mom I already told my friends you were coming and that you were the best momma ever, you have to come! " If someone can tell me how you resist that I would love to hear it lol. As soon as I walked in the door everyone was saying "happy birthday Mrs. Nance". Hannah had apparently told EVERYONE it was my birthday and that I turned 23! Love her! I went to wait for her in the lunch room and she came running in to say she wanted to show me something on the playground. As I walked outside her whole class was singing happy birthday to me. She is so thoughtful and it was so sweet to have come up with that on her own. She also drew me a butterfly picture with a pretty yellow sun!
We have drywall and they have prepped the yard for landscaping. It was storming this evening but I hear we even have bedroom doors! Oh yeah I forgot to mention we have a driveway :)
Our stone is complete! We love it. You never really know what you are going to get when you pick from a board with 5 pieces on it. They have the grid up for the drywall and its all there ready to be hung. Still some painting to be done outside too.
This blog has been hijacked by the new house and it gets less about the girls. School has started and do have class projects and homework. Hannah was student of the week the first week so she had an all about me poster to do. We also went out to one is daddy's races and there was a band and the girls were so cute in their green dresses dancing around and playing tag! Olivia has also been a great help making all the chair covers for the classrooms.
Well there have been little things that have happened over the last week or so. They have been SO little that they weren't even blog worthy. Them when we least expect it, they were out working this afternoon prepping for the stone. This is only the 2nd time they have worked on a Sunday.
Hannah also discovered another house guest! Our 1st one was the frog :)
We started back to school on Friday. Girls are really enjoying seeing their friends and are happt with their teachers.
We went away for the weekend and came back siding! There is a little left to do up front but almost done!
