Tonight will be our last night in this house. We are staying with my in-laws for a few days so we can finish packing tomorrow and the movers come on Wednesday. Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited about the new house and everything that we will do there. What about everything I did here though? I brought all my babies home from the hospital here. I realized the other day that #1's picture with her chalkboard saying "Last Day of Preschool" for this year will be on the steps of another house, as seen in this post. I won't get to see my hydrangeas bloom this year. How many times will I drive by my new house thinking I still live in this house? Yes, that's totally something I would do. I can't even believe I'm leaving my beautiful stencil wall in the twins nursery!! I spent a long time in the bathroom floor with #1 potty training this fall super pregnant with the twins and hardly able to pull myself up out of the floor.
I remember moving into this house. I thought it was so far out from everything. I remember thinking to myself, "How long would it take someone to find me if I died?" Obviously the Single Gal lives 15 minutes away now so it wouldn't be an issue. I love our little house. We need more space now though. It's time to move on. The new house is also closer to the Single Gal....of course! Trying to decorate a larger house keeps me up at night. I know, first world problems/housewife problems, right? You can make a home anywhere but I'm still sad to let this place go. I would add a picture but we wiped our iMac because it was running super slow and everything is on the backup drive thingimagiggy.
My sinuses are OOC right now and I'm doping up on Allegra. I haven't seen the gym in over a week. I didn't realize when we set closing that it was Easter weekend but Easter weekend is always supposed to be the first weekend in April. Am I right or am I right? The church Easter Egg Hunt is today but we have been graced with thunderstorms and cold weather so that's going to be a no go for us and two infants. I'm working on egg coloring projects today for #1.
Well, cheers to change! I'll be sure to take some before/after pics because the new house needs lots of painting.

Checking In
It's the long lost Housewife. The Single Gal is so busy at work and I'm insane at home right now. We are doing well but it's challenging to pack with three small children at home. It feels so ADD because I can't start on any one room and completely finish it. That in itself drives me crazy. We also had to complete a few items from the home inspection requested from the buyers. One of those was to re-grout the shower floor. I'm very bitter about the items because this was one I did not want to do. You all know after going through making offers, getting them accepted etc. that you are not going to throw a deal away because someone won't re-grout the damn shower. However, it was not a terribly difficult job and we are pretty proud of the way it turned out. But STILL. It makes me rage.
Twins:
Had an excellent 4 month check-up last week. Harper is anywhere from the 50th percentile to 75th and weighs 14 pounds 14 ounces. She is a very happy baby and "talks" as much as her mother. Sweet little Hadley weighs 11 pounds 7 ounces. She is in the 10th percentile for everything. Hadley mimics #1 in many ways. #1 was also very petite but hit a big growth spurt between 6-9 months. Harper is also 1 1/2 inches longer (they don't stand up so you can't really say "taller") than Hadley. The only thing that bothers me is other people's reaction to the difference in their sizes. Harper stats wise is not a gigantic baby but Hadley is just petite. Twins are still individuals, identical or fraternal. Sleep is so so. I guess they wake up once in the middle of the night. Bedtime is between 5:30-6:30 and they wake around midnight and again between 4 and 5.
#1 was supposed to have her first gymnastics class last week but had several days of a low grade fever and we had to miss it. My friend has her daughter in the same class and she made them matching shirts and the same leggings. I can't wait!
I miss blogging about more than random things. I'm excited about my new house and have so many paint colors and things running through my mind. I'm looking forward to some well needed girls time this weekend and my first visit to the Drybar with The Single Gal and Little A. I also made us reservations at our fav Little Alley.
