Noelle's room was next on the agenda. It was originally a room with two dark green walls, one wall with pink and white stripes half way down, and one white with a painted tree on it wall. I wanted to continue my owl theme that I had already done in Noelle's room yet incorporate the vintage Fisher Price collection which gives it a retro feel. I decided on a different shade of green which I painted on two walls and the closet, and a fun happy yellow for the other two walls. Rather than paint over the dark brown tree, I painted yellow around it and then added wooden decoupaged leaves that can be changed with the seasons since they are attached with velcro. I was very excited to long pilgrimage to Ikea to buy two Expedit units. One holds the majority of the Fisher Price toys and additional plastic bins with various toy collections. The other Expedit was given legs and turned into a window seat. I bought a cushion online from Walmart for the seat and the piece also allows for lots of storage. The beds (both Natalie and Noelle's) are actually bunk beds divided up so that eventually the girls could room together if necessary. Their bureaus actually also match if ever need be to put them side by side. The desk was bought at Meijer. All the rest of the decor either was already in Noelle's previous room or bought from Target. While I still need to do a few touch ups with the tree, I am pretty happy about how Noelle's room has come together. I was so excited that I had to go online and get the ever-sought out Fisher Price vintage Play Castle. Hopefully this room will allow for years of imagination and fun play for Noelle.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856278458746115384.post-1159290380803733122011-04-18T13:38:00.000-07:002011-04-18T13:38:03.661-07:00Natalie's RoomI always get excited about redecorating the girls' new rooms when we move and lucky us, we have had many opportunities to move lately! Behold, Natalie's new drawing room. When we moved in, this room had been occupied by a boy and the walls were dark blue and orange. The chalkboard walls had already been painted on and that was a big attraction for our artsy Natalie. She was very concerned about how her room was painted in boy colors and had a SpongeBob Squarepants light plate. After Natalie began loudly voicing these concerns repeatedly, I decided to start on her room before any other room in the house. <br />

It is called Geyser by Olympic. Then we added a wall of Shy Violet by Olympic for a bit more of a girly feel. I also painted the closet violet. I found a great vinyl wall decal on etsy.com that was a carnival. Natalie has always been drawn to theme parks and the such and so we decided to make that a focal point. We bought a desk from Meyer and a bedspread from the thrift store. Also, the window treatments came from Lowes. All the other pieces, we already owned. While I haven't found the perfect pictures to put on that wall opposite the carnival decal, I am pretty happy with this room. Natalie loves drawing on her walls although, never seems to want to erase them and draw new things! I would still like to make a reading nook in Natalie's large closet near the window. For now it is a workable set up and I have a happy five year old!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856278458746115384.post-58751444733061166622011-04-18T13:12:00.000-07:002011-04-18T13:17:13.748-07:00Finding Our New Normal<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>Okay, so I owe my dear readers an apology. It has been months since I have posted here. My weak excuses include adjustment time after our move and lots of nasty cold weather which results in a lack of productivity on my part. I am getting it together now though and as the weather improves, I will be upping my blog game once again. <br />
You may have noticed that the blog has a new title and look. We have entered a new chapter in our lives by moving to Central Illinois. The last few months have been filled with house projects, gym work outs, and getting the girls into activities. We now have a house in fairly good shape. I painted both girls' rooms and their bathroom, in addition to redecorating their spaces. After a few weeks without it, the men came and put up our playground once the ground thawed, and we will be getting a fence in the backyard in the next few weeks. <br />
I am happy to report that we live on a cozy little cul de sac with lots of very nice families. There are lots of little girls for Natalie and Noelle to play with. The girls are enrolled in preschool and ballet, and Mom and Dad have a new gym membership. We have found a nice church and of course have the wonderful Chatham Library to visit. The hubby's job is going well and he has more time to spend with family than he has in years. We have made a commitment to health and are working hard on our exercise and nutrition. Both of us have been wearing "the exerspy" which is a device on an arm band which is able to tell you exactly how many calories are burned per hour every day. It has been very nice knowing this information and modifying our work outs accordingly.<br />
We are all adjusting to the weather which can still be a challenge. The hardest part of the weather here for me is the cold wind. I now understand why they call Chicago "the windy city." I can get pretty darn windy around here and when it is already cold to start with, that wind really chills me to the bone! Now that Spring has sprung though, we have been outside riding the bikes a bit (with the training wheels for the kiddos) and pointing out every flowering tree and daffodil we spot in our day. Spring also means that a lot more events are happening around here. This last weekend, we went to the Gamma Phi Circus in Normal, Illinois and to the Cinderella Ballet here in town. We also stopped by Lincoln Memorial Gardens to run off some energy. <br />

I have nothing but fond memories of the people and places I have come into contact with here. When I think of Nashville, I think about fall festivals and sweet tea. I think about spotting deer at Radner Lake, watching the girls splash and grin at Maryland Farms Y, and hugging the sweet children at the school I was blessed to teach at in Franklin. I think about a multitude of fun play-dates with friends and letting the girls run endlessly at Warner Park Nature Center. I think of the original and quirky plays I took the girls to see at Belcourt Theater and the fun vibe in Hillsboro Village. I think of strolling past the quaint shops on Franklin's Main Street. I think of porch swings, farmer's markets, and summer concerts in the park. I think of the scarecrows at Cheekwood and community-made wooden playgrounds around town. I think of quality time spent with extended family in a family-friendly town. All these things I will miss and more. <br />
<br />
We are starting a new chapter and moving from the South to the Midwest. My husband has found an amazing job in Springfield, Illinois. On Tuesday, the girls and I will be embarking on a road-trip to our new house in Springfield. I know it will take some time getting used to flat prairie land, corn fields, midwest cuisine, new schools, new friends, and a new church. The road ahead of us is filled with uncertainty, but also with promise and the possibility of new beginnings and new adventures. My Fellow Readers, hope you join us for the ride!<br />

The winds of change are upon us! More all about this next time! Here are some updated photos of the girls and their drawings. Natalie still draws many cats but now she draws just as many princesses. Noelle's drawings have really come a long way in a very short time. She now draws people and animals with eyes, noses, and ears.

Lots of people were dressed up in old fashioned period dresses and suits. We even saw Scrooge, Marley, and the rest of that lot. The girls loved tasting sugar plums and roasted chestnuts. The weather was chilly but we stayed dry. A magical time was had by all. As an additional unplanned perk, on our way to the event, we spotted Santa in our neighborhood taking photos with the neighborhood kids. He even gave the girls toys and donuts. That Santa, you never know where he is going to show up!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856278458746115384.post-13730770178834483342010-12-11T11:21:00.000-08:002010-12-11T11:21:02.779-08:00Nutcracker Magic<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrK2KEGFe5SM2G1NBnAGtMFzQdtbmcn-LMlvRY2tby_J-zTAyMtRVPOI-H1yk3qBHjWdkzInonKcQHpzrrNDeEc2BijkLIaiLmU8swHmx4N2OZqVx_G_cOzp9IH4uziP1T_D1OZ5trJhU/s1600/IMG_5674.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrK2KEGFe5SM2G1NBnAGtMFzQdtbmcn-LMlvRY2tby_J-zTAyMtRVPOI-H1yk3qBHjWdkzInonKcQHpzrrNDeEc2BijkLIaiLmU8swHmx4N2OZqVx_G_cOzp9IH4uziP1T_D1OZ5trJhU/s640/IMG_5674.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br />

The girls were simply dazzled by the dancing, the beautiful colors, and the amazing music. Afterwards, they got their picture taken with the Sugar Plum fairy.

She woke up and found a room full of balloons. Downstairs, she got to pick a special birthday cereal (those mini boxes of sugar cereals) and open some presents. At school, she was excited to share these little European cakes with everyone. For dinner we dined at The Old Spaghetti Factory; a family favorite and Natalie's first pick. She was very excited to receive this particular parrot stuffed animal and a large cat puppet from Folkmanis. When we arrived home from the restaurant, we were surprised to discover that our sweet neighbor, made an awesome cake for Natalie's birthday! It was delicious as well as beautiful! I think Natalie had a great day and I was able to get her to pose for some photos with the fall foliage on the way!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKB3tv2dlWOV02NSHKyHu2SbeEGvFCd4EzsZASkw8DForp8i-ZXneO87N64YHNFno3qxIO_DAppzGrKAgLurr-aaGekEwgibGsw1-d7OwU2d5S6ePE1Y6dgiwLfarDl9uqi9WxZH9HOU/s1600/IMG_5497.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKB3tv2dlWOV02NSHKyHu2SbeEGvFCd4EzsZASkw8DForp8i-ZXneO87N64YHNFno3qxIO_DAppzGrKAgLurr-aaGekEwgibGsw1-d7OwU2d5S6ePE1Y6dgiwLfarDl9uqi9WxZH9HOU/s320/IMG_5497.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Since we didn't want to miss either one, we hit the Day of the Dead Festival at Cheekwood for the morning and then headed to Franklin's Pumpkin Festival for the afternoon. We had a lot packed into one day but it was a great time. <br />
The Day of the Dead Festival was just as I hoped it would be. All the beautiful Mexican art and colors, wonderful crafts, and tasty food. The girls decorated sugar skulls, enjoyed a Mexican lunch, made print art, tissue paper flowers, and skull masks. Noelle loved the dancers and Natalie loved picking her favorite chalk drawing with Dada. Afterwards, we drove to Franklin for the very crowded Pumpkin Festival. It was fun seeing all the creative costumes but it was so busy and to our great sadness, we missed the chili tasting; our favorite from last year. We did though get some frozen yogurt at Sweet Cici's and ran into some friends from school. <br />

It was just as amazing as last year and the girls were just as brave. We went on the haunted hayride and then hit all the attractions including the Mad Science Lab, the Gypsy Maze, and the Trick Or Treat Trail. This year we all dressed up. Dada was a scary skeleton, Natalie was a black cat, Noelle was a monkey just like last year, and Momma wore a hat covered with eyeballs. One lady in the Mad Science Lab told Natalie that she was a vampire and Natalie promptly told her "No you are not! Vampires don't exist!" Very funny.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggs2aCDAtwvg826ZTjOjKtyIZphTC2yVtMsr5RvHDMwluFk_dBOcxSNPzbtwENUHs4JoZ408FMUid0XROnJBk6wMpGUanzF7txrqQY3QFmY0iiSDN-QuLDbUQm4wECg7sjIrykHPaypDQ/s1600/IMG_4123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggs2aCDAtwvg826ZTjOjKtyIZphTC2yVtMsr5RvHDMwluFk_dBOcxSNPzbtwENUHs4JoZ408FMUid0XROnJBk6wMpGUanzF7txrqQY3QFmY0iiSDN-QuLDbUQm4wECg7sjIrykHPaypDQ/s320/IMG_4123.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQmbjSLND2p6ZpWRTU50KgDHEDT7774IiuLsAyO9bklc5NRqrpD5ncKHXW8kdEPgf8QmGc_ZBtKoPmp_yL1qzX9T43-DM7geweQdrrA5Q-uvbp7gwRDbkOkahfLzjCxTa839jRA-2lFY/s1600/IMG_4115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQmbjSLND2p6ZpWRTU50KgDHEDT7774IiuLsAyO9bklc5NRqrpD5ncKHXW8kdEPgf8QmGc_ZBtKoPmp_yL1qzX9T43-DM7geweQdrrA5Q-uvbp7gwRDbkOkahfLzjCxTa839jRA-2lFY/s320/IMG_4115.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a>Today I took the girls to another event we did last year which was the Music and Molasses Festival. The weather was in the 80s compared to last year in the 50s! The girls were happy to again partake in apple bobbing and petting the animals. They also got to play with some instruments. This year, they were introduced to a new food; the ever popular frito chili salad. Both girls gave it a thumbs up. They also shared some corn on a cob. It has simply been a perfect fall weekend.<br />

The tree in our yard dropped all it's leaves already so I did some raking and the girls did some leaf pile jumping. So much fun!<br />

At last, my favorite season has returned! I am really looking forward to cooler weather, the colors in the trees, and of course, everything Halloween related. The girls have already started gearing up for our favorite holiday. We creep up and down the Halloween aisles at Target and point out all our favorite things. Our giant collection of Halloween and fall themed books is already up on the reading shelf and my Spooky Town has been established once again in a prominent place in the house. <br />
This morning, the ever-popular Gentry's Farm opened up for the season and you can bet that we were there. The girls loved the hayride, seeing all the farm animals, playing on the tire swings, running through the corn maze, and of course, checking out the pumpkin patch. Last year, we somehow missed going to Gentry's Farm since it only opens on weekends and we got busy. I wasn't going to let that happen again this year. The girls had a blast. Welcome Fall... Have a hug! You have been missed!<br />

Today we took a Labor Day Weekend day trip to Summertown to visit The Farm. I had taken the girls last September along with hiking Hollows Falls on the way. We both hiked and visited The Farm again this time but got to take Dada along. It was a gorgeous day with perfect weather and the butterflies were all out. The girls had no problem hiking down to the falls and back unlike last year when Natalie had some anxiety about the steep trail. Noelle was able to tell me all day long when she needed to go potty and although there were a couple accidents, she did very well. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> We had a great time at The Farm; the old hippie commune which is now home to much fewer people than in its' hay day. People don't live communally anymore but it is still a vegan and spiritual community. They have their own school (solar powered) as well as a book publishing company, midwifery center, center for green living, and soy dairy. We visited the book store, a vehicle-graveyard of old hippie buses which originally caravanned from San Francisco to Summertown back in the early '70s, the general store, and of course the playground. Our girls found a small gang of Farm kids and attempted to immediately run off with them. Chris had to chase the girls down and bring them back. The Farm kids were well behaved and adorable but Natalie seemed a bit confused as the two girls had pixie haircuts and the boy had long hair! It was fun and very interesting to learn more about The Farm and hang out there for a while. We ended the day at Logan's Roadhouse in Springhill before returned to our regularly scheduled life. <br />

Just recently, Natalie has started tae kwon do classes at a local dojang. Of course this tickles me pink since I have such fond memories of my own days in tae kwon do. Since my hubby has a black belt as well, it was a no brainer that we would try the girls out in the sport. So far, Natalie loves it! She is so excited to be the little kid in the big kid class! She may not be kicking with the right foot or even in the right direction but she sure has spirit! She loves yelling out "yes sir!" A teenaged girl named Taylor who is a black belt has been helping Natalie learn the ropes. Natalie instantly adores her. Her buddy Reece from summer camp is new in the class as well. I can't wait to see Natalie's progress in tae kwon do. Meanwhile, Noelle is trying to convince me that she is almost 5 so that she can take tae kwon do too. Sorry little girl! <br />

After months of back and forth emails on etsy, I have finally received my giant wall tree decal to go on Natalie's wall in her room. It was sent from Canada and I expected it about three months ago! Little did I know that when it arrived, it would be in about 100 pieces! I had to put the tree together (four pieces) and then each leaf had to be placed individually!! Once I got the hang of it though, it went pretty fast. The birds were a nice addition. Natalie loves it and now Noelle is asking when she gets to have a tree in her room too! Here are photos of the room. With the exception of a possible daybed, her room is just the way I would like it to be right now.<br />

Today I took the girls back to the Williamson County Fair. We had a great time when we went last year and I looked forward to returning. Some highlights included of course seeing all the animals, playing in a huge sandbox full of corn kernels, and going through this Farmer for a Day Exhibit where the girls got to practice collecting eggs, picking apples, planting corn, and milking cows. We also watched a clown show, Conductor Jack, and lots of bike stunts. Natalie's favorite thing at the fair with a bio-science area where she got to see germs on her hands after washing, finding and identifying human bones, and viewing red blood cells under the microscope. She even got to wear a lab coat! We had a fantastic time and only had to endure one carnival ride (motorcycles) which cost me $6. I was also very happy to see the 4H rabbit shows going on today. I sure love the fair..<br />
