We haven't had much time to work on the house lately, and even hired our neighbor Tony's
lawn service to keep up with the yard for much of the summer. We did manage to get a few veggies out of the garden, though, and Brandon found some time to decorate for Halloween. Our living room resembles a daycare center most of the time. We found a few minutes to rearrange the dining room last week in order to move an old cedar armoire into the room to serve as a make-do coat closet, since our house doesn't have an actual closet anywhere that's not in a bedroom. We moved the clock (which also serves as the liquor cabinet) around twice, as well as the china cabinet, before we finally found a way that worked. We'll need to attach the china cabinet to the wall before long, since we placed it in the corner and it looks like prime real estate for a baby to crawl under and hide behind.
Speaking of babies, the girls are now five months old and Emerson has her first tooth already! They are rolling over and scooting backwards a lot, and the dreaded babyproofing stage has arrived. I've moved around a few things in cabinets, to centralize the cleaning products in an attempt to lessen the number of cabinets we actually need to lock. Thinking lots of baby gates are in our future and it will be here before we know it.
No pics of the house right now, but here are some of our little pumpkins, in one of their many Halloween outfits. The yard looks pretty similar to
last year, complete with zombie and graveyard.
