Is It Naptime Yet

I’ve finally finished the girls drapes!!! It only took me five months, but hey who’s counting. I got a good start then school started and then it seemed whenever I had down time there were either other things that needed to get done, or I wanted to relax because of all the other things I was doing. It was just tough to get going at times. But I think they look great, and they really block out the light, I have blackout fabric in them, so when summer comes I think they’ll help a lot, and right now they’ll help with the cold. Now I just have to cut out and work on our living and dinning room sets.I would also like to paint the girls room, but Jon says I would have to do it alone because there are too many other home improvement items on his lists that need to get done, painting is just a it looks better project, not it needs to be done so we can use it project. If the walls were white, I’m sure he might want to get it done sooner, but being the skin tone tan, as Andrea described them, they’re more acceptable. I just think it’s fun seeing their room take on personality, rather then just being blinds, or whatever we get to block out the light. (We used blankets and a cut up duvet cover that we bought at DI for our old place. Why make drapes if we didn’t own the home we were living in. But those are now in our living room to cut the glare out, our TV is right across from the window and we get a lot of sun though it.)

Here is a close up of the fabric. It does make you a little dizzy, but only because there is so much fabric compared to wall space. The room is 9×11 feet, and the wall with the window is 9 feet with a nearly a six foot window!

School starts next week…Yikes… I just hope I can handle it. Eden and Lilah are both needing a lot of attention. Eden is getting older and wants attention, and Lilah is noticing that, which makes her also want more attention. She doesn’t like to do as much by herself, but she will read and talk to Eden. The other day I was doing dishes and had Eden in the exersaucer, and Lilah woke up from her nap, so she read a couple books to Eden and then brought her blocks over to build. Though Eden is in a stationary object, Lilah Kept saying “They’re my blocks Eden, you can’t play with them”, or “Watch out Eden, don’t knock over my blocks.” It was just amusing.
I’ve also had a slobbering Eden. Here’s a picture of her foaming at the mouth. I think she’s getting ready to start teething, or at least push a tooth through. Plus we’ll start her on solids later this month, on the 25th, unless she starts eating too much before then.
