Dance Recital

I never did dance. Dance overwhelms me but we survived this year. Figured out a sock bun. Thank you youtube video. 

And survived dress rehearsal and two full recitals with costume changes etc. Talk about an exhausting weekend. Well thankfully she had fun but wants to do gymnastics again next year.  She had a great little class and got to dance alongside her cousin m, so that was fun!

We Moved



It started with a lot of packing...then some great help! And tada we moved. Took us a little over a day with help and lots of unpacking and we are pretty settled now a few weeks later.

Some of our favorites things about the house...one of these days I'll clean for company and take pictures. We love our theatre room.


Mom's built in shelves. I was chicken last time to style them but its been fun and I love old stuff and pictures of my babies.


We moved in unpainted and stone and a few extra punch list type stuff that they worked on the first week or so we lived here. It was a little weird having people pounding, nailing and just around all the time but we kinda got used to it after awhile. 

Of course we were all super tired after a weekend like that...this is at like 5 in evening. after nap and everything!
We are exploring the streets around our neighborhood. Not that much regular traffic.
Naptime in the basement one day in order to avoid the pounding and mexican music blaring outside z's window!
I love my new farmhouse sink and pot filler!
                                      
We are getting used to the mud/dirt everywhere. Will be thankful for the grass!
Our play house got moved...
And we love love our new patio and fire pit
I'm sure there are a ton of other favorite things about the new place but that is a start!
