A Place to Call Home

The last 2 weeks have been a little chaotic around here. With all sorts of little surprises with the new house, unpacking, moving things around, cleaning and cleaning and cleaning...I haven't had much free time. But here's a little peak at what we've been up to.

And it appears my pictures have loaded in backwards order...so we'll start with Makayla's dance class. She is in LOVE with it. The pictures are kind of crummy cause I was taking it through a window, and trying not to look like the geeky mom taking a million pics of her kid. Especially since no one else was taking any pictures...hello!? It was super cute, I don't see why they weren't.
That's Makayla on the left. She's the youngest in the class by about a year. They didn't have enough preschoolers for her class, so they put her in with the older kids, and she keeps up great!


Kind of a dark one, but it's my fave.

Getting ready!
And here's some house pics. This is the before of the living room, with all the previous owners stuff still in here.
I painted the bottom part a nice chocolate brown. Now we have furniture and pictures and everything in here, but I haven't taken pics yet.
This is the AFTER pic of the downstairs. We got some couches and a rug. We LOVE it, plus it's the coolest room in the house, since we don't have AC.
This is the before pic.
This is Jason in the middle of painting our bedroom. I don't remember what he was laughing at. Probably me being a picture nerd.
The room was so dark. It was kind of cool, red marbled look, but just not our taste. Plus they did a horrible job and there was red paint all over the crown moldings and baseboards. So we did a nice light green and still need to go over the trim. But it looks SO much better already.
This was the before.
There you have it. Jason is painting the garage, which was just drywall and looked icky. But that's boring and driving me nuts, so I didn't take any pics of that...:)
We still have boxes everywhere and some in storage...we'll be unpacking for probably the next two months the rate we're going...ugh.
And now, I'm off to watch Toy Story 3 with Makayla instead of unpack another box...see what I mean? I just can't bring myself to do it.
