Wordless Wednsday: My Little Lady Bug and Bumblebee!

BTW it was over 80 degrees if you are wondering why they are sleeveless!

Things I love about our new town!

A few reasons why I am LOVING Ohio...
1.  $5 pizza from Little Ceasars (has saved us a few times from cooking!) 
2. $1.77 per lb of boneless skinless chicken breast!!!
3.  The house across the street from us is in great livable condition for sale for $27,500! 
4. Aldi's (love the prices of cheese, milk and spaghetti sauce!)
5.  Target is like 5 minutes away (instead of 40-50 minutes!)
6.  The street I live on is adorable.  Kids playing in the street and 2 cops live 2 houses away(i feel safe)
7.  More ROOM!  I love living in a house again
8.  The people I have met are really nice (not that they weren't nice in NH but it's nice to feel welcomed here)
9.  So many parks within walking distance or just a short drive
10.  My mail comes right to my door and if I have to ship something they pick it up. I know that might sound weird but if you have young kids I am sure you understand!


A few reasons I miss NH....
1.  My friends and family (it's nice having family here as well I just wish NH wasn't so far)
2.  The lakes....It's not even summer but I miss driving and seeing water
3.  The view from our condo...revert back to #2
4.  Knowing where everything is and the back roads to where ever
5.  Friends and Family I am saying it again.  Last night I had a bit of homesickness.  I received some exciting news from a good friend and it made me stop and think everyone is moving on with out me.  I know that sounds diva like and stupid.  I know that people don't just pause their life for me but it just makes me feel how far I am now.  I use to being involved with my friends lives and now I sometimes feel like I am on the sidelines and if you know me personally I am not a sideline type of girl.  I know my family is prepping their Thanksgiving plans and it makes me sad that we will miss it.  Don't even get me started about the girls first birthday.  I am sure I will be a crying mess on that day for many reasons. 
I guess thats all for now.  Can't wait to post Halloween pics of the girls in their costumes:)

Cousins!

OMG we made it!!!

Wow, we have been super crazy busy since we arrived in Ohio!  Unpacking, getting the girls back in their schedules and figuring out how to get to the supermarket with out a GPS!  In the middle of all this craziness the girls turned 10 months and Aria finally crawled!  Well I wouldn't call it a crawl so much as a slide kind of.  I will try to post a video because it is hysterical!  We also went apple picking and pumpkin picking for the first time.  We are slowing adjusting to our new life and LOVE having more room.  I also love having a ton of stores just a few miles away.  There are a lot of stores that I have never heard of here but have fallen in love with.   There are also a lot of stores I am dying to go in and explore but haven't had the time to yet.  We have been busy this week preparing for my 7 year old niece's birthday.   I am excited we finally get to celebrate with this part of our family.

 I have also been thinking about the big 1!!!  I can't believe the girls birthday is coming up!  I think I have nailed it down to a Winter ONEderland theme!  Pink, silver and white with glitter!  I think it will be a hard day for a few reasons.  The first being my girls are growing so fast and it makes me sad:(  The second is I know I am really going to miss friends and family on that day!  I know my family especially will be sad to miss it.  We have come such a long way and it will be sad to not have most of our support system for that big day.  I will be glad to have the family we have here to help us celebrate.  Anyway, I will end with some pictures and hopefully a video.

Another 2 week wait!!!

I am again in the 2 week wait territory.   No I am not waiting for my big fat positive pregnancy test or the 2 weeks to an ultrasound to see if it is one or 2 babies.  This is a whole new 2 week wait.  I am waiting to move to Ohio.  Nate got there today with the U haul full of our stuff. The girls and I are just sitting at my moms....waiting!  I feel like I am at a standstill.  I want to be out there so bad and getting my house unpacked and in order.  Instead I am sitting around my moms.  I know it is for a good reason.  I wouldn't want to miss my grandparents funeral and all of my family coming from different parts of the country but 2 weeks is a long time to live out of a suitcase especially with babies.  I miss my own bed and my husband!  Hopefully it will go by fast.  Anyway, Thats really all thats weighing on my mind.  Oh, I have found my parents and little sister are incredibly loud!!!!!!!!  Especially when the girls are sleeping!!!!!!!! 

Life in boxes!

I have always hated packing!  I hate packing tape.  I hate the smell of cardboard and I especially hate dust that always seems to trigger an allergy attack of massive proportions!  That being said...I LOATHE packing with 2-9 month olds!  I really didn't think I could hate packing more than I already did, but throw in 2 cranky sick girls and all of their stuff....well I have choice words for that scenario!  First it is trying to get the stuff actually packed.  What do we need when and do we really need this ever.  Then add a temper tantrum from Aria.  Screaming because she doesn't feel well and her sister is pulling her hair.  Since she can't crawl yet she really can't get away.  Get her calmed down after 10 minutes and then it feeding time.  That takes another half hour to 45 minutes.  Clean up is another 15-20 depending on the mess.  Then Liv's melt down.  What a drama queen!  She will scream and start to crawl towards me and every few seconds stop and lay on the ground screaming and then crawl some more.  It is quite theatrical.  By the time she makes it to me her face is covered in snot and she can hardly breathe.  That child will pull herself up and hold on to the couch and then fall on her bum.  If she doesn't know I am watching she will go about her business.  If I am standing there .....insert meltdown crawling mode!  She takes at least 20 minutes to calm down.  The only time I really get anything done is nap time.  However I have to strategically time using the packing tape.  It is loud and tends to wake them up!  So I usually make boxes out on the pouch and hope they can't hear.  I also have to pack for me and the girls to spend 2 weeks with my mom before we head to Ohio.  I am not looking forward to that.  Not that I don't want to spend time with my family but 2 weeks is a long time with the bare essentials and I hate living out of a suitcase.  I am also anxious to get everything unpacked in Ohio.  On the bright side I will get to see a lot of family I haven't seen in a long time.  Anyway, The girls are in bed and now I am getting sick so I need to clean up the kitchen and head to bed.  I will leave you with some cute photos from today!

Aria stuck!

Gymboree bubbles are amazing!!!  These have been on my couch for 3 hours without popping!
