It's the country life for us!

We've made it to Oklahoma and have been here 3 weeks. We've remodeled our house from a one bedroom, two bathroom daycare to a two bedroom, one bathroom house. It's tiny but it's working. We have all the main construction done, new walls, custom closets, and paint all completed by my wonderful hubby and myself with a little help from family here. We have about 80% of our stuff unpacked. I still have a few kitchen things to figure out a place for and LOTS of homeschooling and office stuff to figure out.

I'm actually surprised at how well everything is fitting. I will post some pictures in the near future. We just got the computer set up and I have many more things to accomplish today before I can work on getting pictures.

Everything has been good so far and we are loving the country life! The boys have a fenced in yard that's close to an acre to explore. They have a trampoline that belongs to their cousins that they share and we just put together the swing set this morning. Not to mention all the great outside toys that Grandma and Popa sent with us.

Keep checking back for updates, pictures and fun things as we adjust from city/suburb life to the country life. Some things that will be coming in the future is chickens and goats and then next spring our very first garden that will be the back unfenced acre! Between the big bugs and spiders and the fact that I've never had a green thumb and my fear of chickens promises for some laughs for you!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...
