Nesting continues....

A few grocery bags of stuff have marched off to the Goodwill and I know there will be more to follow :-) I've made some nice progress in a few areas. (See below) Joe did move the furniture for me, Rhea's toys have been moved to the area by the fireplace that was my craft area... but they aren't real organized yet. Getting a toy box for her next month so that will help. Joe has been very helpful in this process, he offers one 'area suggestion' if I ask for one and that really helps me focus and have goals. I want the whole house clean all at once, but having little goals helps tremendously! (i.e. top of the fridge, bay window, bathroom closets, etc.) And little bits aren't so over whelming!!

 This is our learning/creative play area. Left is before (obviously) and right is after!! Much nicer now!! And below is the art display area, I found the clips in the garage and figured they'd save us a ton on scotch tape, hehe.

 

And we've tried to enjoy some of the winter outdoors, but really Daddy and Mommy are weenies, we like it warm. But when it's sunny and not too windy we go out for a little while.

Weee!!!

Rhea LOVES to be involved in cooking and baking (more baking since she can sneak a sweet 'taste' while we work), I've been working on helping teach her to pour and mix well by herself. Sometimes it's pretty messy but she does really well overall.

 NEW ACTIVITY: Bottle Cap Play! Same stlye of play as noodles but these make different noises and way easier to clean up. We like to sort them, stack them, count them, you name it :-)

And Joe's coworker Chris, his wife Aubrey and their son Braden came out for supper Friday night. Braden is 4 months and just as sweet as can be! Rhea loved playing with and near him, she was very loving and careful. He really liked watching Rhea run and move around. We had enchiladas and just hung out and visited. It was a great night!
