Dumb Green Ideas
I am a fan of green ideas, but these are just terrible and good for a laugh!

My Christmas Present
My brother Ian got me a Flip Mino for Christmas. I opened it when it came because I hadn't heard of it before and wanted to see what it was. As it is a new toy I am still trying to figure out the appropriate length of time for videos and what I should take videos of. Mostly for my family I just took some videos of the girls talking about general stuff. Gwen honestly does talk a lot more than is evident in the following clips. While watching the videos Gwen always points to herself and yells out "My GG". Funny!
Two failed attempts at thank you Uncle Ian. I don't know why kids can't say Ian. Its two letters put together to form a word! E-N. Frustrating!
Any tips for adding videos to blogger? Right now I just have them in a folder on the desktop and I upload them using the video button on blogger. Is there a better way?

Naomi wants her hair cut short. I have no problem with this! I think I will enjoy washing short hair instead of her almost 18" of locks!
I am thinking maybe Alice Cullen?
Or perhaps Katie Holmes?
She still thinks that these looks are too long! Can you believe her???

Possibly the longest blog post there ever was!!!
This blog is going to cover Halloween to the present, which is only a month, but there are tons of pictures! We'll start with Halloween and move to the pictures of the new house that is now decorated for Christmas except for the tree.
This is the Halloween decoration at the old apartment.
Naomi's HILARIOUS toes! She can just do this whenever. It makes me laugh every single time!!
The day of the move, also Halloween!! Beth came up and got pictures taken with the girls since she was going to a party up in this area as a fairy just like my little girlies!
Naomi LOVES Beth! Look at her face!
I was sorting through the winter gear and the girls found these. I think its funny that they were naked with all the winter get up on!
Now for the house tour!
Backyard: I think its a decent size considering its a townhouse. YOu can see Antelope island in the distance. That truck is on Legacy highway, in front of Legacy is a nice bike trail.
Kitchen:

Dining room with backyard out the door:
Living room:
Living room from front door, little Hallway has laundry to the left, bathroom to the right, and heads out to the 2 car garage!
My fireplace decorations:
View from by the laundry area:
I love my pedestal sink!
I know its weird to just show a picture of the toilet, but its separated from the sink by this little pointless wall and it cracks me up!
The beloved washer and dryer! All of the boxes and the blanket hold Christmas presents. The girls have no idea that they are right there.
This is only the bottom floor. I will venture upstairs maybe next week when I get to clean some stuff up.

Coming soon...
I Promise that pictures of my actual house will be coming soon! I just need to get it together and start taking pictures. Unpacking has been slow this time, maybe because I know I am not leaving here in a year or less, but I think I have everything out of boxes. So now I just have to put it all where it belongs. Then the real fun will begin! Painting!! Yes, I do have plans to paint every single room in the house. I think I will leave the closets alone and for now the stairwell hallway, its like gigantically tall. But things are moving along and soon...pictures!
As for the house, I am loving it! And particularly I am loving my washer and dryer! They are awesome! I never knew that clothes could come out of a dryer smelling THAT clean and be fluffy and soft and get oil stains out of a 2 year old's shirt! Its like a magic machine! THey are fast and very quiet. It dried two very fluffy adult sized blankets and Brian's sweater in less than 20 minutes and then there was hardly any lint to take out of the lint shield - that was shocking! Plus I love my fridge too! Its got a water filter inside the fridge and dispenses the water inside. So I love it!
The girls like their new room which is pretty big. THey have not gotten into having a separate playroom as much as I thought they would, but I htink it is because its not all set up right yet. Oh and Gwen's favorite hobby is watching the washer perform! She screams each time it changes directions in the spin and loves it when the water comes out. Hilarious!

Living Room stuck
So, I am pretty clear about most of the ideas I want to do in the house. I am, however, stuck on the living room. Right now it is red and that will do perfectly all through Christmas time because its Christmas! Anyway, eventually I want to switch over to blues and greens in the living room. Usually what I do is fine an inspiration room and take ideas from that or a few inspiration rooms. I am having trouble find just the right inspiration room though! I found one that I like the colors ok, but the walls are tan. So, any suggestions on what color I should paint the walls?? Here is my quasi inspiration room:
I really don't want it to look too beachy! I don't like the beach house look very much for my house. So any ideas?
I am really going to have to start painting soon, at least the girls room and maybe the kitchen because all of the tan is driving me crazy! Maybe I'll paint ALL the little rooms and then do the living room last. I am excited for the laundry room because I am going to paint it a pumpkin orange because you've got to have a bright laundry room!!
Here is my idea for the girls' bedroom. Its the easiest one for me to do because I've been planning it so long. Here are my inspiration rooms:
And then this is my inspiration colors for the Master, we will not have the zebra stripes though!:
