We are finally starting to settle in to the new house. Although we have a lot of work to be done still (like figuring out what color to paint all the walls), it finally looks like there is an actual family living here. We had a hard time deciding where to put my fish tank. The problem was that not only did it not fit anywhere perfectly, but the stand we had for it was really rather junky. We came up with a perfect solution when Craig suggested putting it on this old trunk filled with books and setting it up in Michaela's room. Michaela loves her "fishies" and setting it on the trunk means it's right at eye level for her. As and added bonus, it actually looks good too!
Every morning Michaela wakes up and yells "Hi fishies!" and goes over to great them. She is very good about feeding them at night, although I have to be in charge of portion control.
This is what the rest of Michaela's bedroom looks like. Yes, she pulled out her toys all over the floor before I took the picture. Anyone with toddlers will understand that keeping the toys put away is a constant battle. As I put them away, she goes behind me and pulls them all right off of the shelf again.
Our kitchen and living room furniture got delivered today, and I couldn't be happier with them. The table is exactly what I wanted, even if I didn't know what I was looking for. All I knew was that I wanted a large round table. When I saw this one I nearly cried from excitement. I love how the dark wood looks next to the stone, and it's a very symmetrical geometric pattern which appeals to me. I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who was willing to splurge a little bit to make me so happy. Hopefully this will be the last kitchen table we buy for a very long time, so in the end it will be worth the little extra cash we spent.
