Our Troopers

Oh my.  I feel like working on the new house has completely consumed our lives.  If you minus sleeping we probably spend more time up at the new house more than our current home.  The kiddos have been troopers.  I told Callie this the other day, and she got very serious and said, "no, mommy.  I'm not a trooper, I'm Callie." They spend about half of the time doing this-

And the other half doing things like this-

Hopefully we will not find her doing this in 10 years. 

I'm really excited about our neighbors!  They have two boys the same ages as the girls.  They are the cutest family ever !  Everyday when the Dad goes to work, the whole family walks him to the car to give him hugs and kisses.  I'm secretly planning ways that the mom and I can become best friends.  

And the swing has been the best at keeping Toby content.

I also discovered the old baby walker in the garage, so that's been fun.  He can actually move himself backwards in it. 

Because we have been consumed by the fixer-upper, things at our current home get overlooked...for example..

On the bright side, they are all clean.
