faaaaalllll

I have so much to talk about! so beware this is going to be long one.

I seriously cannot believe it is already October. 

It is officially my favorite time of year.

Pumpkin spice lattes, cinnamon candles, fall colors, sweaters..you get the picture. ;)  

First things first...

I posted about us buying a house...

well we are moving into it THIS WEEK! :D

I can't wait to make it OUR home. 

I've been on pinterest like a crazy woman pinning things I HAVE to do for our house and the upcoming holidays. 

We have our bedroom furniture picked out and I am sooo excited to finally have a 'put-together' bedroom. 

My MIL bought me some really nice sheets that I look at every time I go to target. 

They are going to look really good with the down comforter I plan on breakin out as soon as we move. 

(oh the things I get excited about these days lol)

I'm also glad our new house has a big enough master bedroom so we can temporarily have James' crib in there with us so I can slowly transition James into sleeping in his bed..instead of ours. 

Yes, we've been co-sleeping..and no I'm not ashamed.

My hubs worked night shift most of the weeks since James has been born, so it's been comforting to have my baby next to me..

It also made breast feeding easier since he was already right there beside me...

but I know it's time to start putting him in his bed..the longer I wait, the harder it will be.

I read somewhere to heat his crib sheets with a heating pad while I'm doing his nightly feeding and remove it before I place him in the crib..

This should help to keep him from waking up because of the temperature change from me to the cold sheets. We'll see how well that works. I'm praying it does.

Other than those things, I'm excited about organizing our life. lol

We never unpacked everything while we've been living at our current place. 

It will be nice to see what all we have..I'm sure we will clean out a lot of stuff to.

We just got a Sam's membership and I found heavy duty shelves for our garage, so you better bet even the garage will be neat and organized. 

First up after moving, Halloween.

 I know this year won't be as fun as the years to follow. 

Nothing more than some really cute pics of James in the 5 different halloween outfits his Nanna has bought him. lol 

I plan on handing out candy at our new house though. :)

The day after Halloween I turn 22! 

No idea why, but I am so excited about turning 22. 

I just like that number better than 21. 

and apparently hubs is secretly planning something. lol

Then of course there's Thanksgiving. 

I want to attempt to make the whole meal this year. 

and decorate our table. 

hopefully it will turn out perfect.

and CHRISTMAS.

I absolutely am most excited about this. 

There is a mantel to decorate, a tree to be bought and decked out, stockings to be hung, presents to be bought and wrapped, food to be cooked, and time to be spent with family. 

It will be our first Christmas being the "adults" lol

I am really looking forward to making it special for our Children, well James & our fur babies, this year.
