It's been awhile

Gosh, It's been nearly a month since my last entry- boy have we been busy. We've really made great progress on our painting project downstairs. We have the downstairs completely painted except for the dining room and half bath. The colors we picked look fantastic- can't wait for everyone to come see it. The great room is dark brown, the kitchen is orange, the foyer is khaki and the pool table room is yellow. I know it sounds kind-of crazy but they all go really well together. We love our house! We still don't have sod. It's a bummer because it's been raining non stop (it seems) for about a month so the ground isn't dry enough to do a final grade. We still might get it this winter though so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Grace is our little mimic monkey. She tries to be just like mommy which is so adorable! The other day, she put on her sunglasses, her two necklaces, her bracelet and came in the room that I was in with both hands in her pockets. It was adorable. Her new thing is completely undressing before she hollers for us to get her in the morning. I'm not kidding, she is completely naked...and cold. It's hilarous. We are just waiting for that day when she has a poop a loop diaper and she decides to paint before we get her. Gross-

Grace and I have been busy doing arts and crafts. She really loves to color now and play with clay. We've tried finger painting several times but she doesn't much care for that. She doesn't really like to have anything on her hands- especially something that is cold and slimy. I think maybe a few more times and she'll give it a shot.

Grace also has really become brave since we've been taking her to Gymboree for her gym class. She get's her "monkey" nickname honestly. She is climbing on everything. I'll walk in the kitchen and she'll be standing on one of the kitchen chairs.

Bob and Sharon are coming for a visit this Sunday- we are really looking forward to their visit. Then all of the Christmas travelling begins- I still am not sure what our final plans are but we are trying to get everything figured out.

I think that's all for now!

Busy body-
