Paint and the Pumpkin Patch

This is a little glimpse of my life these days! Paint samples, fabric and BHG magazines! We are moving in less than two weeks and I'm so excited! I can't believe we are getting our own house! Quite the milestone for us.
Last Monday we headed out to EZ Orchards in search of the perfect pumpkin for Marshall:) He picked this gourd type pumpkin out right away. It's totally not carveable but that's the one he wanted and he would not put it down. I told him he could get his 'own special pumpkin' so all the way home he held his pumpkin and called it his 'special own pumpkin'. Never new an .89 pumpkin could provide so much entertainment! He ate dinner with it that night, ate breakfast and watch Seasame Street with it the next morning! He's played with it so much this week as well!

Deakan came over yesterday for the afternoon...we had so much fun reading and building a fort!

Like father like son...

Love her sweet smile...isn't she getting big?!!

Top 5 things happening in my life...

# 1 - I am recovering from turning 30:) I actually feel no different so there's hope for all you youngsters who are turning 30 next year! Can't wait for you to join me!
#2 - My sweet Reagan girl is getting so big! I put her down on the floor tonight and within a few minutes she had moved all the way accross the room! She's only 5 months tomorrow! Scary...

Sorry Reagan I wish I could tell you this will never happen again but I think this is only the beginning of life as the baby sister of Marshall:)

#3 - Marshall is at such a fun age right now. Well all of his ages have been fun...they just keep getting better. His vocabulary is so great and you can really have small conversations with him now. I cut my bangs the other day (kind of by accident...the length anyways) and when Marshall saw me he said, "Mommy, what's wrong with your hair?" Wonderful isn't it?:)

He's loving his fireman jacket and snow boots as of late. I used to see kids in public dressed like this and think, "Why would their mother let them go out like that?" Now as a mother I think, "Well as least he has clothes on." (Not that the outfit is necessary that bad but we're a little early for the season. When he took that coat off the other day his head and arms were covered with sweat...)

#4 - We just started a 10 am morning service at Outward and it's going great! Matt gets to come home in the middle of the day for a bit now and it's wonderful! www.outwardchurch.com

And finally #5 - The biggest news of all...we bought a house!!! We got a sweet and I mean sweet deal on a great little 3 bed 2 bath house! It's got a fenced backyard and a double car garge which I am really looking forward to with all the rain that's been coming down! We're still waiting on all our paperwork to go through but the plan is to move the first part of next month! It really hasn't hit us yet but we're so excited! God has truly provided a great little sanctuary for us! And yes the color of the house is light turquiose so according to my husband painting the outside will be one of the first things to happen! I've got paint on the brain and packing to do...which is probably what I should be working on instead of blogging...all in due time right?:)
