Shopping spree for kids.

I went to Kid to Kid the other day and spent way too much money for summer clothes. My friend reminded me that I am buying clothes for 2 kids now, and not to feel guilty. I got about 12 shirts for Matthew, 4 shorts, and some clothes for Norah. I took some pictures to show how cute they are. I love the swim suit, it will show off her belly. All the pictures are of Norah's clothes.

I also added a picture of what our basement looked like in the middle of construction. Yuck! You might be able to see the ugly orange carpet on the lower stair.

New food, new room

Matthew said a very cute thing the other day as I was putting him to bed. It went something like this:

Mommy "Daddy is such a good man. He takes good care of us, doesn't he? You know who else helps us? Heavenly Father and Jesus. They help us, too."

Matthew "Do they live in houses?"

Mommy "I don't know. They live in Heaven."

Matthew "They DO live in houses." Short pause. "And in temples."



These guys are in my top 3:





We started our daughter on rice cereal the other day. She was very anxious to eat. I'd wanted to wait until she was a full six months (as per the doctor's advice) but I figured 11 days early wouldn't ruin her life. I guess we'll see. She is loving it, but not getting much into her stomach. As you can see it ends up all over her. I have decided to not worry much about the mess because I figure I would spend more time keeping her clean than I would just cleaning her up at the end. She will have many baths in the next few weeks as she learns what is going on.


Dave is a very handy man. I always wanted to marry someone with nice legs (because mine are ugly) and Dave has nice legs. And nice hands. This has nothing to do with my post. I guess the part about him being handy is what this post is about. Since our daughter was born in September he has re-roofed the house and he recently finished our family room downstairs. Not that I have any readers on this blog, but a few of you may have seen our basement. Our family room downstairs was awful. Technically it was "finished" but it had gross flooring, a poor paint job, and other stuff. We also had a ton of things to clutter up the room: a couch, love seat, queen bed, futon, ping pong table, boxes, benches, and a ton of other things. And the room isn't even that big. Here are some pictures.
