7 quick takes

1. I don't usually complain about the weather. I live in oregon, and it rains a lot, that is a fact, if you don't like it move somewhere else. This last week though has been harder than most. We usually have rain, some sun, then more rain. Well not this week, we had gray, some more gray, with a side of gray. This will only last for a few more months.............It wouldn't be so bad if I could get outside and run, or if I had a good book to curl up with.

2. Speaking of running, it has been going really well.  I still have a pound to lose from after Christmas (up 3), but they are coming off slowly. Note: rum cake and pina coladas don't help the situation. I am getting use to running on the treadmill, and I don't dread it like I once did. I still prefer to run on the road, and do so on the weekends when it isn't nasty out. Even with all that I do I am still a fairweather girl when it comes to some things.

3. #1 and Dad have been going out weekly duck hunting. #1 comes home with a huge smile and exhausted. I have also been finding shell casings laying around. I am going to have to put a time limit on how long they can stay, or we might just get engulfed by them.

4. We are still waiting on when the move will be occuring. At this point it is going to be an event. There are a few things that need to be done to the house before we move in. Mostly carpet and flooring. Hubby has always been against hard wood/laminate flooring in the living areas of the house, he always says it is to cold, so I have been shopping for carpet for the bedrooms and living room. Much to my surprise this last weekend he surprised me and said that I could put in flooring in the living room, but the bedrooms still had to be carpet. Fine by me, so off to the home stores to find flooring I go.

5. Speaking of moving.....#2 and #1 have shared a room since #2 was 2. He doesn't remember ever having his own room and when we move he will. I wonder how he deal with it. #1 always has made it clear that he wants his own room, but #2 seems to find comfort in the fact that he shares a room with brother. It will be a big transition for all of us I'm sure.

6. On to #3.....every night when we put #1 and 2 down to bed he crawls in with them and wants to go to bed with them too. We have a bed frame for him, but no mattresses yet. It is an antique that I bought before he was born. I am trying to decide when to put him in his new bed. He will be 2 next month and while I put the other boys in beds at that time, I am worried that a new bed along with a new house might be a bit much for him.

7. Speaking of bedding, when we move I get to redo the boys's rooms. #1 and #2 both need new comforters and a theme for the rooms. I have been looking at the same one for the last 3 years and honestly I am tired of it. I need to find something that is fun, boy, and that won't kill me whenever I walk in the room.
