September 23 = Make Big Moves Day

We had the room next to the kitchen serve as a little office.  It had the computer, my keyboard and all my craft stuff.  We had to get this fancy gate because given two minutes, Liam could do a ton of damage.  Yesterday, Zachary was looking at the gate and said something to the extent of "man, if we had had this gate when we moved in, we could have made this the playroom..." and I thought, well we still have a while here so let's do it!  So we did.  Before Zachary got home, I moved everything but the desk downstairs and when he got home, we moved the desk and then put down the floor tiles that were in Malia's bedroom at the last place we lived.  And we started moving toys up.  I didn't make it to the gym yesterday but really, it wasn't necessary- I burned my share of calories running up and down stairs.

Now I just have to reorganize all of this:

and the downstairs will be a place for us to escape to.  I've got my work cut out for me.

May 24 = Learn Bad Habits Day

Liam has started enjoying putting his feet on the dinner table. We discourage this which makes him laugh and want to do it more.  Thankfully scooting him closer to the table helps dissuade him from doing this but we didn't stop this habit quickly enough- Miss Priss has caught on.

Also, my veggies are growing!

Grandma and Pops came in today- they're going to be watching the kids for the next few days so Zachary and I can go to Philadelphia- it's going to be our early anniversary celebration and I'm super excited!  We took them to see Zachary's new office after they got in.
