Quick update

The kids and I are at the coast with Coach and Auntie Jody, so this is just a quick update. Much more to come later!

I'm working on weaning Syd. Also, I think she's been grouchy because I've completely underestimated her appetite. The girl can pack it away!

Eli's having a GREAT time! He's also becoming totally obsessed with chameleons. Have you noticed that they're everywhere right now?

I talked to C today, after the housecleaners did their initial clean. He was near speechless, it was that good. Expect before and afters when I get home. I told him he should lick something while it was so clean he could, but then he just laughed awkwardly and changed the subject.

We're having a really wonderful time. I'll post pictures and more details when I get home. I can't wait to see my toilets!

Upgrade

Isn't it pretty?

We finally did it! We traded in our tired, ten-year old, crap-tastic, way too small bed for a behemoth of a king size. We essentially went in the store, said "point us to your biggest mattress" and handed over our card. They delivered it yesterday and it is amazing. Even better, since the kid was sick yesterday with what we were sure was going to be pink-eye (turns out not pink-eye!) I got the bed to myself, or rather me and Syd, and the boys spent one last night in the guest bed. I can't believe we waited so long. C just keeps going in the room and staring at it. Plus we had to get a new bed set, so it's like we got a room re-model too. AND I even managed to sell the old one (believe it or not) on craigslist, so I figure the bed was another $75 cheaper.

So now we've got this awesome bed, a totally not awesome dresser, and a whole lot of open wall space. I think my sister said it best when she said that our house looked naked. And ever since she said that I can't stop seeing places where it looks like we just moved in. The bedroom has been sorely neglected, and now there's a huge empty space on a huge empty wall. What would you put here? And what do you use for a dresser/chonie storage. Cuz our dresser is on borrowed time.
