Updates

We signed the closing paperwork on the house yesterday. They should receive it tomorrow and the sellers will sign it. I guess it's pretty much ours now. DH flies back out next week to pick up the keys and sham. He will also be eating lots of Wingstop and Sonic while he's there. Boooo.

My Mom gets in on Sunday and will be here for three weeks. I can't wait to spend time with her again. It's her fourth time back since we have been here so all she really wants to do is go to the beach, get Dole whip, go to Coldstone, go to Mongolian BBQ at Hickam, and go to Cinnabon. I laughed that most of the things involve food since my mom is so skinny. Her excuse is that she can't get any of that in TX.

I had my registration appointment at Tripler yesterday. My next appointment is on the 16th. I get to go to Schofield and be seen by the same nurse when I was pregnant with Mason. I'm still in denial on this pregnancy. I always feel this way until I hear the heartbeat and know baby is alive and well in there.

So, I have been holding out on pictures of the house. I just didn't want to jinx anything, but we are good to go now. =)
I messed up and labeled things under the pictures, too lazy to fix it. =P





Kitchen

Dining Room

Family Room


Formal Living Room

Master Bedroom

Master Closet^ (10'x10'--this thing is bigger than Chloe's current room. DH joked that we could use it as a nursery for the baby, LOL.)



Basment bedroom (We will use this as a guest room)


Extra basement bedroom (DH will be using this as his hobby room/workout room)



Basement (DH's "Man Room"-LOL)



Backyard (From the upper deck we have a nice view of Pikes Peak)

I can't wait to get there. I can't wait to have all the seasons again! DH and I already discussed that we won't buy each other Christmas presents. Instead we will save that money and use it to spend on the house. I'm ready to get out of the dump we are currently in and into our house. We moved into this one to help pay off bills and shove money into savings for our house. It's also going to be nice to not live in so much clutter. I keep organizing and getting rid of things but it's like it doesn't help. Our house in CO is twice the size of the one we are currently in, I shouldn't have that problem there.

OMG...

I'm F***ing pregnant......

I bought a pregnancy test...

because I'm two months late. I chalked it up to being stressed about house hunting but AF is still a no show. I've been very tired lately and it hurts every time M latches on my boob to eat (this happened when C was still breast feeding and I was pregnant with M). Although, it could just be the mold in this house making me tired. It has been giving DH headaches everyday. My boobs could be hurting because M is probably sinking his teeth into me when he latches on. Ouch. I don't want to be pregnant though, my two drive me nuts enough. LOL. I'll take the test tomorrow morning.

Received the inspection report

and it's good! Mostly. LOL. The only thing he mentioned was to get a licensed HVAC technician service the furnace because it would not fire up. We already knew they had problems with the furnace from the previous buyers inspection and that the sellers were already replacing parts and getting it repaired. Obviously, we will be sending that back in our request for repairs and hopefully they will accept that. We will be moving there in the winter (snow!) so we need the heat. I'm so excited to have seasons again! LOL. I love fall and can't wait for Target to bring out the Halloween stuff.

Chloe is taking a nap right now. I took her to Target so she could pick out a gift with the money her Aunt gave her. She picked out a music instrument band set. I know I will be regretting that noise maker later. lol. I took her to Petco after that so she could see her animals. I wanted to take her to the playground but since it was raining the playsets were probably all wet. She's excited about having her little birthday party when DH gets home. She's been talking about it all day.

My baby is three today

Wahhhhhh!!!

Today's to do list

1) Bake Chloe's cupcakes (she wanted cupcakes instead of a cake). -done

2) Finish Chloe's birthday dress. -not working out like I wanted, might have to give up on this one

3) Take the kids for a walk if weather permits (it's currently raining over here).

4) Go to pick up balloons/decorations for Chloe's birthday when DH gets home.

5) Pick up around the house after children properly destroy it for the day.

6) Decorate after Chloe goes to sleep and put out her "morning presents". DH has to work and I wanted her to have something special waiting for her when she wakes up. I will put out the rest when DH gets home from work that day and is busy distracting her.


So not only do I have the excitement of Chloe's 3rd birthday tomorrow but the house we have under contract is getting the inspection done that day. I will have the results of that in the afternoon. The previous buyers did have an inspection done on it and the sellers let us see that report. They also put a mark next to what they "fixed". We will find out what they really did fix tomorrow going by what our inspector tells us (we sent him the previous inspection). Hopefully he won't come back with anything we didn't already know about. I think the previous buyers walked because the sellers were unable to fix all the request they made before the deadline. In the inspection there were parts for the furnace that they had to replace and as of right now were still waiting on to come in.

DH took my car today so I'm stuck at home. I was planning on running errands and picking up the rest of the things I need for his birthday but that will have to wait until the day of. Just gives me something to do that day.

Where's the creations?

Ok so I've mostly been using this blog to post or rant. LOL. I have finally been able to start working on sewing again. I've actually got quite a few projects setup for myself.

First I was working on an apron skirt for Chloe. I drew and painted the Wubbzy characters on the apron part. I'm not really happy with the outlines on them. I used a black paintbrush pen that stopped functioning properly halfway through and caused me to mess it all up. I finally thought of what I should of done in the first place. I outlined back over them in a black laundry Sharpie marker. It was so much easier and went a lot more smoothly.



I was waiting for Walmart to get the Wubbzy fabric in (read about it online). They finally got it the other day and I grabbed a few yards. Mason loves Wubbzy too so I can make him something out of it too. I think the apron with the fabric might clash, so I'm stuck on what I'm going to do. Maybe a twirl skirt with patchwork or stripes. I also still need to add a ruffle around the apron to cover the surged edges.



My current project is Chloe's birthday dress. I found this cute cotton knit Hello Kitty fabric on ebay. I'm planning on making a bubble dress for her. Hopefully I will have enough time to finish it before Tuesday. We are just having a little family party but I wanted her to have something special to wear on her birthday.



I ordered this puppy dog fabric for Mason's first birthday outfit *tear*. I'll use the fabric for shorts or pants and then add some kind of applique design to a shirt. I'm still waiting on the fabric in the mail. I'm also having a hard time finding a plain white shirt for him. I can only find plain shirts in the girl's section and I can't get that because they either have puffy sleeves or lace on them. I have to go to the mall next week so hopefully I can find one there.
