Saturday Night

It's 8:45 pm and I have so much to do before I can put myself to bed but I need a mental break. I keep going through my head all the things that have been such big changes for us lately and each is worth it's own post and collection of photos. However, I have no idea where my camera is right now (thank goodness for camera phones) and the rest of my life is mostly in boxes and/or strung across my in-laws house with the lacking motivation on my part to get too settled in and organized because we won't be here that long as it is.
Jason's parent's have been so helpful and sweet to let us stay here but because I know it is so temporary I just feel like I'm in massive limbo.
My kids love the extra space and yard to take advantage of but I DO feel isolated over here because we had soo many friends where we lived and I love them and miss being in that area all ready. The change is affecting them the same as me though, sleep has been a struggle. I'm constantly moving Alivia around in the night because mine and Jason's room is bright and warm and the room she shares with Brooklynn just gets too noisy when I have to put her down. She floats between the downstairs bedrooms, the small upstairs room and is now currently behind the bar in the basement! Lately Brooklynn has been putting up a big stink at nap time and bedtime which I'm not used to and both her and Alivia wake up multiple times usually starting at 5:30am (they usually wake each other up and I can't get both back to bed ever- it's killing me!) I'm assuming it's just because they've just had soo many changes in their lives. We have just hit that mark in life where we have outgrown one space and are transitioning to another bigger space slowly but surely.
Those are the few things that I've been trying to "deal" with lately. Oh, and I won't get into it but Brooklynn is DEFINITELY in the terrible two's- she's the craziest EVER lately. We see a lot of the funny and sweet little Brooklynn but she just goes crazy at times and is hyper beyond belief... I'll stop there :)
Okay, couple side notes here on OTHER exciting things... We get to go out to the cabin in a week, and see WICKED next Friday and Alivia started solids (this HAS to get it's own post.) We're on day#2 of solids and at first I didn't think she was all that excited but she is craving them like crazy! We've tried butternut squash, green beans and brown rice cereal so far- they're all a hit!! She is growing up soo fast, I just can't believe it. She loves to laugh at herself in the mirror and you can tell how much she LOVES to be talked too, and played with. She will laugh and laugh her heart out. She is my little ray of sunshine on some of my depressing days.
Brooklynn has learned a few new primary songs that she sings really well. I can hear her in the room next to me singing while I write this post. She is singing "I'm a Child of God" word-for-word! I'm blown away at her vocab sometimes and other time it seems like nothing outta the norm at all when I have full on conversations with her, I just always assume she "gets" what I'm saying and usually she does.
Jason has been so busy lately, He's renovating some Hamlet units for the most part and it's good because he's been steadily making an income with it and he enjoys that kind of stuff too... so it works for him. He is SUCH a hard worker BUT LOVES TO PLAY EVEN HARDER. I wish I could join him more often or have more opportunity to do some fun stuff together but it's hard to get a break... ( did I mention I'm itching harder than EVER for a vacation??)
