Saturday we had some friends over for a game night, which was tons of fun and something we need to do more. We showed the back room, where I do my jewelry because they wanted to see 'where the action happens' and it was disgusting. Projects piled every where. Also it has been where I put bags of stuff that needs to go to goodwill and such. I was mortified and I'm pretty sure Jason was too because, let's face it, I'm the big mess maker in that room. So I started cleaning it out first thing yesterday. It's still pretty messy and lots of unfinished projects, but I'm working on it.
Also yesterday I was excited to get a tree in the mail. Ok, it's a vinyl tree, a giant wall sticker for all you who don't know. I don't know why but ever since I started repainting rooms I wanted to get one for a wall. They are huge and can look pretty realistic. I thought I could paint one or something but Jason talked me out of it. So after our bedroom was painted I started seriously looking for one. It took a long time for Jason and I to agree on one we liked. But this one is awesome. It's very lifelike and 7 feet tall and it's going in our bedroom, partly 'hanging' over our bed. I'm still working on finishing putting it up but I'm in love with it. I am positive it is the most expensive decorative thing I've ever bought. Probably 5 times what I've ever spent on anything (I'm cheap.... thrifty and a diy-er to the core)
Last night as I tucked the boys in I thought how big they are growing. I will miss it when Max sleeps normally, without his little butt in the air. It's the cutest thing ever.
Speaking of growing up, Max has FINALLY been put to work around the house. I like to start them early. He will now put things down the laundry chute if I ask. He LOVES it. So yesterday I piled up the laundry by the chute in the kitchen and him and Levi had a blast throwing things down. Also I've discovered he'll give me his dishes afters he's done and put things away (sometimes). He's really starting to understand things now. I am loving it.
Max also loves to do pretty much anything Levi is doing. If he sees milk in Levi's hand? Squeak, 'maaaaa', squeak. Levi has a toy? Squeak, grab, squeak. Levi goes to play in his room? Max is sure to follow. Good thing Levi doesn't mind and is really good about sharing for the most part.
I'm getting pretty excited for Halloween, so are the boys. We've talked a lot about it because I wanted to know what Levi wanted to be so I could do his costume. At first it was Superman. For weeks 'Superman'. He's been on a real superhero kick lately. But after my mom got him a king crown from the Shakespeare Festival he decided he wants to be a king. So Levi might be a king. But he might be a knight. Max is a knight definitely a knight because the costume's done so we'll see what happens with Levi. Everyone will just have to wait and see. Also we put 'spiders' up in the house the other day. Is September too early for Halloween stuff? All I know is both boys LOVE them and point them out to me all the time.
Also, weirdly, I've been thinking a lot about Christmas and how it's coming quickly. I am really wanting to get all my presents done soon because I know I will be busy with etsy stuff the closer it gets. I have a lot of fun sewing projects I'll be working on in the next month or so. I miss sewing. I wish I didn't have to sleep or rest or anything. So much to do, so little time.
We need to paint our bathroom, desperately. I have no idea what color. Part of the room is carpeted in the dark green carpet, making picking a color a little tricky. All I know is I don't want white. I'm a color person. We'll see what we figure out for that one.
This is pretty much how my mind works. Random. The good news? We're having Taco Soup for dinner.
