Nine Months after moving in and the pictures are hung!


DH and I finally got around to hanging up our pictures in the "new" house.  It's only been nine months....  The delay was actually pretty helpful.  TerraDactyl is better about not needing to cling quite so hard (sometimes), which allowed us to actually get something accomplished.  I think the pandemic didn't really help.  Why bother decorating if no one is going to see the house?


TerraDactyl chose this outfit herself.  I'm not sure if it was luck or what, but she's already waaaay ahead of me on making sure her clothes match.  When I dress her, I usually just aim for "weather appropriate".  Getting a matching outfit is a secondary goal.


This milk jug with a bit of water in it is actually a great toy.  TerraDactyl LOVES it.  It makes noises when she shakes it, it's light enough for her to carry it, AND (most importantly) it's just like something that Ma Ma actually uses!

It's really interesting watching TerraDactyl cycle through her interest in different stuffed animals.  She's got access to her whole basket, but she favor one toy over another for days and then switch to a different toy.  She carried the Duplo bunny around the house for a whole day, but hasn't played with it since.  


We had that whiplash change in the weather from "super hot" to "turn the heat on and break out the rain coats!"  It's been raining lately and TerraDactyl is beyond excited about the random places she can find standing water.  She ADORES water.  We're definitely going to have to make sure she knows how to swim.  This next video is super long, but I had the hardest time figuring out when to cut it.  I literally have 5 minutes of her laughing her head off.  It's adorable.

Honey, Where are my pants?

The other day, DH and I were getting ready to leave the house and DH asked me to run downstairs to grab his wallet.  Sure thing, no problem.  I spent 10 minutes looking for his wallet before giving up.  DH looked downstairs for his wallet while I looked upstairs and in the car.  DH looked upstairs and in the car.  We finally gave up and left.  I had to drive instead of DH.  We spent a whole day thinking DH's wallet was missing.  Since he hadn't left the house in a week, we figured he lost it the last time he did leave.  When we finally got back to the house DH found this gadget  that links to your phone.  When you lose your wallet, you phone pings the card and it makes a noise so you can find the wallet.  Apparently, DH isn't the only one to have this problem.  ;)  Oh, and we found his wallet.  Phew!  It was in the pocket of his pants in the laundry basket.  Which we BOTH checked, multiple times.  Turns out, sometimes having a plethora of pockets in a pair of pants is a bad

Furniture Galore!

Well, DH and I have finally passed the last milestone to official adulthood.  It's not having a baby - lots of people choose not to or can't have kids.  It's not buying a house - people in big cities often can't buy houses because big cities are insane (a completely unbiased fact).  And it has nothing to do with age.  Nope.  The last milestone to adult hood is:  buying non-IKEA furniture.  DH and I are big proponents of hand-me-downs.  And we've got by pretty well so far, thanks to our generous family and friends.  But we did need a new bed, and I fell in love with one, so we ended up paying retail for it.  It was on sale, at least.  And it's really cool. My log cabin quilt on my log bed Oh, did I forget to mention I bought a whole bedroom set?  Yeesh.  I don't usually care about things matching.  And I'm usually not a big spender, so I don't want to buy all the matching things.  But this was just too cool.  And the set was on sale!  I l

Summer Camp

  Tomorrow TerraDactyl will be starting her first day of summer camp.  It's twice a week for 3 hours each day.  The class is super small (5 kids) and they're all 3 or 4 years old.  It's only for the month of July.  Hopefully, she'll like it.  It's a nut-free building, so I was struggling to find filling snacks for TerraDactyl to bring with her.  I ended up finding these snack cups of olives and pouches of pickles.  I was so excited about my find.  And you know what DH had to say?  "Olives and pickles for snacks?  What are you trying to get TerraDactyl bullied?"  :P  (I'm still packing the olives for her). TerraDactyl really does like olives though.  She seems to kind of like the pickles, but the olives pretty much always get cleaned off her plate.  I'd also like to point out that neither DH nor I taught her to shove the olives onto her fingers.  She just started doing that one day.  Maybe it's innate...  I think TerraDactyl told her first ridd
