Wow it has been a while since I've updated...things have been insanely crazy around here. I think this is the busiest our lives have been since getting married - which is definitely saying something.
Where to start? We signed paperwork with a builder signifying our intent to build a new house next year. Then we prepared our current house to get it on the market. We met with a real estate agent and listed our house for sale the next day...then sold it within a week. We had the inspection and the appraisal and those both went well, we just have to fix a window upstairs that we knew needed to be repaired (and we already fixed a valve on the sump pump which cost all of $11 and took maybe 10 minutes). In addition to going through all of the selling necessities, we have been making decisions for our soon to be new home - trying to finalize all of those plans before we remove contingencies on the build agreement at the beginning of the new year (just a few weeks away - crazy!). In addition to all of that, we are making plans for moving into my parents home for the 6 months it will take to build our new one - ahhhh!
Plus, my FIL has been having more health issues and scares, so that has taken some time, and hubby's grandma is having memory issues which are somewhat concerning, so that has required some attention. Not to mention that it's Christmas time on top of all of that, so I have been shopping like a madwoman. Additionally, my hubby turned 30 this month, so the kids and I have been trying to make that celebration feel special in the midst of chaos.
All of the regular happenings have of course been going on as well. Peanut has preschool twice a week and she just had her holiday concert/play - she was a sheep and she did awesome! She also has one dance class, one gymnastics class, and one swim lesson each week. Her gymnastics is going very well, the cartwheels and handstands have gotten so much better and for the first time today she was able to lift her head in the bridge - yay! Dance she still loves, although the class moves much more slowly than gymnastics or swimming and I'm getting frustrated that the video is not working so the parents haven't been able to see what is going on lately. In swimming, Peanut is doing very well - she has almost passed level 3 except that she needs to work on her side breathing (she has a lot of difficulty with this) and a couple of other items that she needs to improve upon - back glide, treading water.
I can't remember if I posted about this before, but Buggy started gymnastics lessons and absolutely loves them. He loves being with the kids, he gets very excited when we walk in the room, and he has zero fear about trying all of the things. He just doesn't hold on very well yet - ha! He has also been loving the water, although he isn't in classes right now because he isn't old enough to do the beginner independent swim lessons until he turns two. For now he just plays while big sister has her lesson.
Regarding the new house, here is the bedding set I am thinking of using in Peanut's room - it seems to fit her personality and I think she will like it :). I wish there was a store around here that we could check it out in person to see if I like it as much up close as I do online. I have a hard time finding bedding that I'm drawn to so I was pleasantly surprised to find this one. We'll see where we end up - we are supposed to be picking paint colors (among many other items) this week I think.

This is what I'm thinking for Buggy's room right now - we'll see if we end up going this way. I'd do either blue, green, or orange on the walls. I like the gray and white stripe comforter with the blue sheets.
