WOO!!!

The transition from crib to big boy bed was awesome! Brian just took it down and now his room looks funny. BUT I do love that he is in the big boy bed!

Ok, so maybe a toddler bed isn't really considered a big boy bed, but it sure seems like it to me. He is soooo funny when he wakes up now though. He used to just play with a few toys in his crib when he woke up and when he decided it was time for me to come get him he would start screaming MAMA!!!!

Now he walks to his door as soon as he wakes up and knocks 3 times and says "MAW!"

knock. knock. knock. MAW!!!!
knock. knock. knock. MAW!!!!

I wonder what he is going to do once he learns how to open his door....I think he will go into Katie's room and start screaming "Shay-shay! Shay-shay!"

That's what he calls Katie. Shay-shay. Adorable.

And Katie just loves it! She says "aww....he loves his Shay-shay!"

The next big thing after we move is going to be potty training. Pray for me.

Nougat...

Brian was reading the ingredients on his Snickers wrapper today and I just thought "nougat is a great word".

So what exactly is nougat?

According to Wikipedia, Nougat is a term used to describe a variety of similar confectioneries made with sugar or honey, roasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios or hazelnuts are common, but not peanuts) and sometimes chopped candied fruit. The consistency of nougat can range from chewy to hard depending on its composition, and it is used in a variety of candy bars and chocolates.
There are two basic kinds of nougat: white and brown. White nougat is made with beaten egg whites and is soft, whereas brown nougat (called nougatine in French) is made with caramelized sugar and has a firmer, often crunchy texture.

We signed a contract on Saturday!! Yippeee!! After looking at just over 40 houses, we decided to put in an offer on one. And it was accepted! AND...we'll be closing at the end of the month. WOO!

I am really excited! Can you tell? I took several pictures on Saturday. If you want to take a peek let me know and I will send them over. Unfortunately, the camera battery was about dead so I had to point and click. The pictures didn't turn out great, but Katie was able to smile for the camera on a few of them so they are cute :)

So now we make a list...and check it twice. It's been over 2 years since we moved so we're a little rusty. haha! I am going to have to find someone to watch the kids for at least a day or so while Brian and I get the boxes/stuff from this house to the new house. I don't think I can move with the kids running around. Last time we moved, I was almost 8 months pregnant so it was a MUST that we hire movers. This time I think I can get away with a little more sweat.
