This and That

christmas is officially, officially down

my marvelous husband braved the ladder and scaled the house to pull down the lights outside

he's a whole lot braver than me

he then made a bumper of sorts so that when i pull my minivan in the garage, it will stop at the appropriate place

i love him

a lot

the boys are happily coloring right now

their conversation in hilarious

when they color or play, they talk to each other in play voices and characters

it's a hoot

tucker has the hiccups which makes the whole exchange even more funny

we joined the rest of the modern world and finally purchased leather couches 

oh my gracious

they are divine

i so, so wish we could have purchased leather when we first got married or when the boys were younger

but i'm happy that we have them now

we also purchase a new rug

woohoo!

we've (really i've) been rearranging furniture to add the new couches to our arsenal

it's super fun

i have all these visions of what i want our house to look like

thanks pinterest!

hopefully some of the visions will actually materialize

i have 5 loads of laundry to fold and put away

i also have a load in the dryer, a load in the washer and a load that needs to be started

if i could hire someone to do anything for me, 

it would be someone to do my laundry

i also need to dust and clean the bathrooms

but that can wait another day

right now i'm enjoying the relative quiet in my house

and my husband being home

that is all.
