But it's been such a crazy life the last couple of weeks. We're working hard and enjoying it. I don't know if Max is enjoying his hours at work with us, but we're at least glad we're all together! And all the ladies at work are so nice to Max. We've come up with a little system. He does some workbook pages and then he can play his games and stuff. Holding out on the fun stuff until after he's done his work has made the fun stuff a little more attractive I think.
Anyway, around the house:
Here's my bookshelf--organized by color. I think it turned out really fun, though not quite as sophisticated as I've seen others (online) do. It does make my eyes happy to look at it though.
This picture is a couple of weeks old. Max in "his" bathtub. It's nice to have a tub where he can keep his toys without Kris and I tripping on them every time we need to shower.
Here's another older one. Max on the back porch. Well it's not really the back porch I guess. It runs along the side of the house and connects to the garden down where Max is.
This is the sun room/workout room at the very end of the hall. It's nice because it has french doors that open out to a little cement patio and then the desert.
BUT we haven't gotten to use it yet. Things have just been too crazy. Hopefully soon. I know the treadmill has been calling my name.
The view from the windows in Max's room. Pretty green for the desert, don't you think?
Here's a little peek at the guest room and the hideousest curtains ever. Kris is snoozing in there right now because when the movers put our bed together they did a terrible job and it's all squeaky and feels like it's going to fall apart. So we're going to repair it this afternoon.
The cool sink in the hall/guest bathroom. Come visit!
The mirror that goes along with it.
My mom's star fits into the decor well, don't you think? There used to be kind of a nasty bunch of dried chilis hanging from this hook, but luckily the previous renters came back for their mail and also took their chilis. Yay! I like the star much much better.
My sister Charlotte gave me this cute little key rack quite a long time ago. I love it and I show you the picture of it now because it's just so appropriate for our house. Because as I was going around this afternoon taking photos I suddenly heard this weird scrabbling sound. I looked up at the kitchen window and what did I see?
The window was open a crack (ours open sideways here) and this lizard was hanging out between the window and the screen. What a crazy lizard.
So there you go. Maybe I'll blog again before next week--we'll see!
