Summer Summer

Well, I survived my first week as a SAHM. I think there's 10 more weeks to go? Is it bad that I'm already planning for the Fall? So far, summer's been not so bad. Too bad the summer heat is finally hitting us. I should've went to HH last week when it was still in the 70s. Oh well...

Anyway, my biggest accomplishment this week was rearranging three rooms in our house. Char's room became the new office, our office became the kids' new room, and Lucas's old room become playroom #2/guest room if anyone wants to sleep next door to two kids.

In their new room

Unlike attempt #1 when Char was around 7 months old, this new sharing room is working out great so far. They'll going to sleep much, much later than usual because they're talking up a storm. I like to eavesdrop on their conversations and they're pretty cute together. Charlotte pretty much copies whatever Lucas says and they somehow are able to converse, too! I convinced both kids that the other sibling is there to protect them from whatever scary things are out there at night. Char was even able to sleep in that room through the night. I just wanted to reiterate that things are AH-MAY-ZING so far! I hope I don't jinx it... They're also going to be sharing this room for a long, long time because I busted my butt off for two straight days moving everything around in the closet too. 

Lesson learned: If I put my heart and mind to it, I can clean up pretty quickly. I still have the garage to clean up... not as motivated with that room though.

Anyway, as I mentioned before in my previous post, summer did not start off as I had planned.

Sick kiddos

The only good thing about having two sick kids is that they slept much longer than they usually do, which made cleaning and rearranging rooms manageable! 

Now everyone is back to normal. I'm not a fan of being a homebody, especially since working. So even if it's a trip to Nob Hill, an outing is an outing.

This past Saturday was CDM's 25th anniversary. I must be getting old if there are things and celebrities younger than me (e.g.: CDM, Steph Curry, Sean Lowe).

And that wraps up the first official week of summer! Here's to a house full of healthy Shinn's for the rest of the summer.
