Don't blink...

'Cause if you do, you might miss something. I feel like our house has been full of changes lately. Carter is a pro at sitting up and (I wouldn't say it's a crawl yet) he can scoot himself all around the house. He is also very good at eating his snacks (cheerio's, biter biscuits, bananas, bread, etc.). And although I just gave him a hair cut a few weeks ago, it's already time for another one. Any tricks on cutting a 7-months old hair (i.e., keeping him from turning his head toward the scissors)?
Olivia loves to be outside. She also started her "dance" class (actually called "magical movements") today and she loved it. We are so glad that she's involved in an extracurricular activity. Olivia is also getting very good at reciting The Pledge of Allegience. We did find out that she still won't attend nursery by herself though. Hmmm?
Aaron only has 2 1/2 weeks of school left and he is definitely on the daily countdown.
I spend any extra time thinking about what I want to do to the house we are planning to buy. My long list has it's priorities, but Aaron and I are excited to start building equity...and to have a basement!

Carter's first biter biscuit.

Olivia's first PB&J outdoor lunch of the year.

We plan to close on or around April 24th.

Of course, that isn't our furniture (it's not a FUTON!). I took these pictures off the listing website.

"I looked out the window and what did I see?"

"Popcorn Popping on the apricot tree!"

Well, we aren't quite to the popcorn on the trees yet...but the weather, in our neck of the woods, has been beautiful this week! I absolutely love the changing of seasons!

Beautiful weather outside includes sidewalk chalk for Olivia - and a bath!

Looking so handsome!

And cute!

Olivia is getting better at peddling her bike, but the steering still needs work. Watch out for the house!

Carter tries to eat every old leaf he can get his hands on.

Beautiful weather outside means I can go for walks again! I was pleasantly surprised to see that both my kiddies fell asleep while I strolled the neighborhood.

Aren't baseball caps the cutest thing on little boys? Especially when their ears get pushed out!

Unfortunately the good weather wasn't hear to stay. We are hearing reports of snow flurries for the weekend. Oh well!

It's taken over my life!

I just realized that I haven't posted in over two weeks and then I went to see what pictures I could post...I only had two. And well, the two pictures that I had were of a house that Aaron and I were thinking of buying. So...that is why this blog entry is titled the way it is.
Aaron and I have been busy house hunting the past couple of weeks. Nothing is final, but I think we are coming to an end of it. That means we'll have some down time before we close and then it will get crazy again. The one picture I'm posting this week is taken at a home that Aaron and I thought we would be buying. We ended up not settling on a price with the seller and so we have moved on to a new home. Maybe it's for the best...these mirrors were a bit over the top. The mirrors were on the walls and ceiling as you walked down a portion of the stairs into the basement. It would have been a huge mess to try and get those things off the walls (and ceiling) without them breaking all over!
What were they thinking when they put those up?
