We are alive..but just barely!

After 8 months of semi homelessness (thanks Mom and Beth for opening your homes to us! You Rock!) we are finally getting settled into our own house! The FedEx man brought my lovely little box today so I could get on the internet, so all unpacking/cleaning/laundry/etc. has come to a hault so I could get my fix! Ha..anyway this little update is going to be breif..very breif..just to let everyone (if anyone reads this anymore!) that we made it to Fort Hood safe and sound! Okay so this was going to be really quick, but I thought this was really funny..I made some zuchini bread the other day and I took some to the neighbors (joe is friends with the dude) and today when he came over to borrow a movie, he asked if he got all the stuff for me to make it, if I would make him more...ha, they have no kids and his wife is home all day! Maybe I should just teach her how to make some bread and she can bring me some! hehe, jk

Also I have discovered Lily is a biter! She bit Ellas finger so hard today it was almost bleeding..what do you do about that? She also talks non stop, I don't think Ella talked until much later!

Okay I am off to watch old episodes of NCIS..here are a few random pictures from my phone..

Me in the very messy hallway (girls) bathroom

Ella on her bed

and Lily in the living room

What we've been up to..

Eating lots of popsicles!

Buying lots of thrift store clothes...

wearing snuggies...hehe Beths AC works REALLY good!
I got this kids one at Target for $1.80, and its really comfy!

And eating ice cream! mmm

New stuff for a new house..

So during Lilys naptime, (when Beth and I dont sneak out and shop) I browse craigslist! Here are some of the fun things i've gotten for our new house.

We got this couch, a desk and a night stand for $20!

These are from two of our trips out..I got three matching rugs (area, runner, and a smallish one) and the curtains. They are for the living room...the rugs were a super good deal at beths favorite store, fallas. They all rang up for about half of what they were marked! I love it when that happens! I'm still looking for a good deal on throw pillows....
New coffee and end tables..

Our last coffee table was a train table, and we haven't had end tables since before Ella was born!
I'm thinking of painting these black to match our entertainment center..but we'll see

And todays craigslist purchase...

Washer and dryer!

I got this whole bedding set for Ella for $7.00 from Walmart.. When I was living at my Moms I found a $30 gift card while cleaning..it said to Mike from Grandma..we have no mike in our family, so it was mine! ha..so using that first, it cost me $7 bucks!
Thats the end of my pretty boring post!

I'll post again when its all in my house! ..oh and if you go to Joes blog, you can see our house...

Museum Of Archaeology

Today we went on a cubscout activity/field trip to the Museum of Archaeology

Lily was pretty impressed with the mammoth

Ella liked the hut/house thing

they went on an outside tour, but my stroller (another post thrift store find since I brought NOTHING with me!) couldn't handle it, so we stayed behind and watched for rattlesnakes! ew

My new .50cent hoodie from the post thrift store! It was a little big so I took in each side an inch or so with safety pins..ha, maybe someday i'll sew it..maybe

And two random pictures from Beths blog...
Me and the girls at free lunch

Me and Beth at the sprinkler park

We went to the sprinkler park today and on Wednesdays they have free lunch and inflatable bouncy things...

that plant looked like a giant pineapple!
