Playing House

I'm feeling so grown up this weekend. We went furniture shopping yesterday and we bought our first, real, big piece of furniture. You know, the kind that costs money! We bought a couch AND a love seat. So I guess I should have said pieces of furniture. Then, because I was so excited about that, we went and bought a rug too. yeah!!! The couches are a sage greenish color and the rug is a braided, nuetral orange (that's possible, right?) with green accents. "Green accents...." I'm decorating a home, our home. It's starting to get pretty fun.

I stayed up late painting Miriam's room last night. Staying up late is never good for me, but it was especially hard on me this time. Getting ready for church was hard and then Nursery was out-of-control hard. Fourteen of the sixteen kids showed up and I think they had all stayed up late the night before also. I was comforting and holding at least three kids throughout the entire time. I really do love the kids in nursery, even when it's crazy. It's nice to know that they will come to me for comfort.

Guess I'm Growin' Up

We have the key to our new house!!! I can't believe that we have a house. I'm not so excited about moving all my stuff over there, but I'm very excited about someday being in there. Any suggestions on how to make large objects disappear from one location and move to another without acutally having to move those objects would be very helpful.

I am looking at paint samples and such. I get to paint the house any color I want (within reason of course) because it's ours. Did I say that we have a house? Crazy! We'd love to hear some favorite paint colors. I'm so excited!!!

We had a fun Halloween! The only "treating" we did was at the ward Trunk-or-Treat, which provided more than enough candy to give us all stomach aches.

On Halloween we made delicious home-made doughnuts and had some friends over. The house was full and noisy and it smelled like fried doughnuts. It felt like home. We made about 120 doughnuts, that were all eaten. Yeah!

Just to say, it's been in the 70s this week. I love the weather here in the South so far.
