little pieces

we have been so productive here in the carr household. the house...it's starting to get there. there meaning having a little personality and being a little more ready for baby #3. we have almost moved crosby and jack out of their room and into the bigger room upstairs. josh has moved to the playroom. the playroom moved to the closet. and besides all that...we've just been making some small changes around here that make it feel much more like home. and much more like us.

 (the wreath i made a couple weeks ago.)

the other day my mother in law asked if she could take jack for one night this weekend. how could i say no to that? so today after we dropped off jack, we hit target, home depot, stir crazy, and got to work. 

steven hung a fruit basket for me.

i finally hung a print in the boys bathroom. i've had it for months.

 and steve changed out the light fixture in our kitchen! the old one broke a couple of weeks ago. we immediately liked this one, before we even saw that it was the cheapest available. we need to shorten the wire, but it will do for now.

 (the only before picture i have of the old fixture. do you see it way back there?)

(the fruit basket & light fixture in the same picture!)

all these little changes really make a difference. and they make me happy.

oh, and after all that, i made a wreath and two loaves of pumpkin bread. can i be nesting already at only 25 weeks?!?

let it fall

 things i am not loving right now: 

crosby being very attached to me lately.
maternity clothes. gross.
heartburn. 
my achey, tired body.
most pregnancy related things.
thinking about spending the Christmas without my sisters.


things i am loving right now:

crosby being very attached to me lately. (i'm a little torn about this one.)
fall! the hoodies, electric blanket, pretty trees.
the salted caramel mocha from starbucks. holy moley, it's amazing.
our diy home projects.
how dark it is in the morning. 
lunch dates with steven.

 

dog days are over

george is gone. turns out jack and i are really bad dog owners. (steve and crosby were much better at it than us.) that's really all there is to it. it just didn't work out, wasn't a good fit for our family. maybe because he was a puppy, maybe because me and jack just really don't like dogs. heather said it best...george deserved a dog loving family and so we found that for him. and things feel a little bit calmer and more normal here now.

true story - when jack found out george was gone, he ran in the house with hands in the air and yelled, "FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!" and there was our confirmation we had done the right thing.
