Life is Crazy!

Last post title was "Life is Busy!", now life is just plain CRAZY! My house is filled with boxes ready to be moved into our new house. I did a walk through yesterday with the builder and blue tapped everything that needed to be fixed or touched up. Along the way, the builder gave me a run down on all things about the house and even made me go up in the attic. Where was Todd you ask? He was home with a stomach bug. It was a ton of details being communicated to me that I may have gotten about 20% of! My realtor took good notes and I plan on walking through with Todd with the notes hoping it all stuck in my brain somehow.

All of us have been sick over the last few days. First Cooper got sick, then I got food poisoning or stomach bug (we are thinking it was a stomach bug since Todd now has it), then Chloe got sick and now Todd. Good thing Maddie has been at her Moms house.

There have been some issues with our buyers. We think it will all work out but now our closing date is being pushed back even farther...like now just two days before Christmas Eve. (breathe in, breathe out...) My current house is filled with boxes and not one Christmas decoration is up. Now, it's just pushing it to close to Christmas so I'm thinking I need to figure out how to decorate somewhat at our current house. This year my kids are loving the lights, music, magic of it all and squeal with delight when they see a Christmas tree. It breaks my heart that I am not doing this for them. It's killing me actually. So, this weekend, we are going to figure out a way I can put out a few decorations, decorate a smaller tree and then move it all to the new house when the time comes. (breathe in, breathe out...)

So, life is crazy! (breathe in, breathe out...)

I was even waiting to buy Christmas presents until we moved, you know, back when the move in date was the 17th, on a weekend! (breathe in, breathe out...)

It's time to shop! That should make me feel better, right?

Some pics of our almost ready house with landscaping...

Last weekend we took Cooper and Chloe to Santa's Wonderland in College Station. Our friends Meredith and Jason and their kids, Ethan and Kate joined us. It was so fun! I absolutely loved it and the kiddos did too. We will be going back for sure.

If you guys could have heard Chloe through the whole thing. "I like it!" "That's so cute!" "That's cool!"

I saved this picture with the file name "stud". Seriously!?

Sweet thing! This is when she started feeling under the weather!

These goats were aggressive. They would just take all the food. Cooper started getting very authoritative over these goats. He would tell them, "Just a little." "Share." Then, he would pull the cup away and say, "That's enough."
