Learning Curve

Wow, new computer and trying to do new fancy stuff with the blog while trying to be creative in the house...too much.

We went to Toddler Time at the Mall today. Discovered Q is a little less of a toddler than I realized...she liked running circles around the rotunda more than sitting and listening to the stories. Oh well. We met up with Nikki, Claire and Grace. It was good times to be had. Claire had noodles that were delicious and grew from a seed into a purple flower! It was good times.

We bought a couch (I think) for our basement entertainment room. We're very excited to host a party of some kind at some point...so be prepared world! :) We're still looking for an appropriate bar table for the back of the room and well...of course we're still unpacking!

The kitchen has been sitting at mostly done for a week now. For some reason both my shoulder decided to throb crazily any time I lift, push, or pull anything. So, needless to say, paiting the upper half of the kitchen and painting at all has not been so exciting for me. Especially since the weather has been wonderful, most of my arm use is helping Q up slides and trees and running and such...probably not what I should be doing, but way more fun than being inside and painting!! Even if it means some crazy kitchen cabinet arrangements for a few more days.

Q and I are heading to BRF in Wi this weekend for a family party and to pick up Eggo and Killer! That means Mike will be working on cat doors and such this week. I will be happy to have the company again, and they'll be overjoyed to have such space to explore and bugs (maybe woodpeckers) to kill!

Some photos for the day...

Most of what you see is our yard. It goes back past the rock wall a few feet. We have several large pines and it's just light years larger than our "yard" in Brooklyn!



Q thinking she's ready for the big swings at one of the many parks in Minnetonka!



And some house photos that show just how many boxes aren't even close to being unpacked yet...
