Getting Settled

Since moving into our place in Arizona we have been trying to get things done and get back into a routine. It has been easier than I thought, when you don't know anyone and have nowhere to go and nothing to do, it's amazing what gets done at home....For example.. we've:

been able to set up and play with toys from Christmas finally,

are taking nightly baths,

dressing up like Daddy in Wal-Mart,

and finding time to run into the coffee table,

and fall off bikes, which we can ride down here since it's like summer,

we've been trying out new smoothies with our blendtech, spinach is the new favorite,

we refinished a shelf I bought at a yard sell almost a year ago,

made a cute new calendar for the kitchen,

been working on decorating the kitchen,

discovered some yummy new recipes,

and caught up on rest!

We've been getting pretty good at following a schedule down here, and keeping the house clean. (Minus the kitchen) The boys have daily chores now, which has been so helpful for me. I am also sticking to a cleaning schedule, it is so nice just doing one or two things a day and maintaining a clean home, I feel so much less stress about how my place looks now. I have been working hard on organizing and decorating, thanks to Pinterest I feel like I can actually accomplish these things! I will post pics when it's all finished an clean! We have made friends with a couple of neighbors and the boys got to go to a birthday party on Sat. We're starting to make friends in the ward and I'm excited to keep meeting new people. This week we are checking out some preschools and hope to find one for Johnny!
