I walked in and found this he already got half way and I had to put him back a bit to get the video. sniff sniff why does he have to grow up fast. Not even 8 months yet. Still love him though.

Okay pictures of our house before we moved in.

front of our house

Part of the back yard

Looking down the hallway from the entry and Living room. main bath would be right there on the left before walking down the hall. Noah and Jonas room is the first
door on the right, Lucas's is the next right and master is the door at the end on the left.

So this if the converted garage into a famly room. The door on the right side of the picture is our laundry room and small storage room.

This is our living room that still only has my rocker and at the dinning end which you can't see in the photo is where tom's mess desk is. I hope one day to buy an old drop lid or rolltop desk so I can just close the door on the mess.
Master bath (only a shower)

Main bathroom


This is Lucas's room and guest room.


This is the boys room

The master bedroom and a picture of the floor how we found it after the seller had the termite damage fixed(in my eyes doesn't looked fixed some thing is missing)

The kitchen. the dishwasher is now where the cabinets are by the fridge. That is all the storage we have. the microwave sit where the laptop is in the picture so no counter space. i put a cutting board arcoss the double sinks(at least I have a double sink!)
We're just not stopping
Here Another one of the little man, I have a bunch of old ones but i am having problems loading them up on my computer b/c apparently I am out of space, I also lost or my phone got stolen at tom's softball game(juggling to many things I guess, so a lot of videos I had are gone). Anyhow enjoy this one.

guilty
So when I was little and my grandparents came to visit(my mom's parents). Sundays you can't doing anything but sit and read, make a meal and that is about it. We couldn't play cards or laundry etc. I like that concept I have to say and I wish i lived it more like they did. I try not to go to the stores etc. But sometime Sundays are the only day I can work on the house a little or pick up something with out the kids while tom is home. Today we planted a bush and cut dead parts of the rose bushes and well tom was chopping out part of a stump and went in with the kids while I took some swings at it too. My neighbour who reminds me or my grandfather came over and first ask what I was doing and than said that is what I have a husband for hahaha. But made the comment that I already know. "You're brave to be working on Sunday" I have to say I ran into the house and well i think if I do anything from now on it will have to be in the back of the house. I already feel guilty I haven't joined a church down here. They don't have any United of Canada Churches here but there is a Presbyterian church that might be similar to the church I use to go to. I know I need to get the boys into to church too. But the classes don't start till 4yrs and before that at this church they are in the nursery(seems a little weird to me). I would just like to go to church and not draw attention to us or me. We might get there yet b/c I need to get Lucas baptized and I don't think we'll be getting home before he is a yr since I like having them baptized before a yr.
I wish things seem to be more simpler at times. Or I wish I didn't feel like I make thing more difficult than they really are, I can be so chicken some times.

House
So I know I have been horrible and have not really posted much about the house. We moved in here when I was almost 7months pregnant with Lucas. Which means tired and exhausted. I myself will pat myself on my back b/c I myself unpacked every single box and sort of put it away hence why there wasn't much time to write about the experience. I have to say that before looking at buying houses I love to go look at houses but when we were looking to buy it was not as fun and I sort of didn't want a house right away I would have been fine living in the apartment at least till Lucas was 4 months or so. I would want to be out of there now though with him moving around. But Tom got it in his head we need one before the baby, and if we didn't find one by the end of July were were going to move most of the stuff in a storage and rent a month to month expensive 3 bd apt till we found one or something like that.
So many things happen in that time frame, a lot of ups and a lot of downs. We put bids on two other houses. On I like a lot except for the kitchen and it had nothing to be done to it. But the seller decided not to sell it in the end. The second house was small but on a 10, 000 sq ft lot. Didn't need any work either but was small(happy we didn't get that one). We and just I and the kids looked at a lot of house and lost track. Glad it is over. If we have to move I hope we can just build our house, I already have a dream house floor plan but I don't think that will ever happen. At least not down here. Okay back to the house we got.....At the end of June we'll have owned(well the bank owns it we just pay them for it) this house for a yr, and on July 19th we'll have been living in the house for a yr. Progress well since we moved in on the July not a whole lot, and since Lucas came nothing has been done. Well nothing except me putting up some
curtains for closet doors and the valances in the boys room and sadly one picture on the wall. Sad I know but the fact is that I have two boys that don't nap and a very fast growing almost 7month old who doesn't have any plans for slowing down sigh. it's hard to try to paint, sand and work indoors and out side since Lucas still loves to put stuff in his month, in goes grass and dirt. I was hoping it would be easier once Lucas was here(where I could move around better not being pregnant) but in fact it's been way harder to get the time to do stuff besides every day up keep and I am no pro at keeping up with all of that either.
There are times I love the house and a lot of times I get frustrated with the house and hate it. Mostly I don't hate the house really, I hate our situation in getting stuff done and I can't do anything with the house to make it what I want it to be. The smallest task which I could do in a day with out kids takes months to do. I have to admit there have been many tears over this place. but I love it to in my own way. I can't see us living anywhere else at times and I dream of the day it will be how I want it to be. Anyhow it's home, and it is what it is. So today I have one room clean haha sad I know and I realized I don't have pictures of the house so I will post pictures of Lucas's room. It's not complete at all but will probably be like this for a few yrs. Unless I become super mom with super powers.





Well that is the 360 in one room. Hopefully I will get back before a yr with another room. Maybe the living room since it still has no furniture in it but some like to use it as a dumping ground not naming any names haha.
