So, this is the month of the move! (Sorry, that's for next post). Justin was gone for the two weeks before the move since we finally got our visas. Without them, he was only supposed to be allowed to stay for 1 week at a time.
So it was up to me to go through the ENTIRE house and separate out the stuff that we wanted to store, and the stuff we wanted to ship over air or sea. The only problem was, you can't just start unloading your cupboards and making neat little piles all over the kitchen counter of what is going where. We were still living there, and hello, I needed my counter top for things like, you know, FOOD. and Cooking. (and junk that doesn't belong there).
So. No room for nice little piles. Which meant that I pretty much had to tear the house apart, and put things back in certain ways. Like all of the stuff in the kitchen that way staying got put on one side of the microwave/stove, and all the shipping stuff went on the other. (Turns out I'm retarded because I put things like my tupperware and cutting boards on the 'store' side. doi.) One half of our bedroom closet was stacked up of stuff for storage, and the other half for shipping, and the same with the rest of the house.
Didn't leave much time for much else, but I was still able to get around to making these awesome pajamas for the girls:
To be honest, I made these just for 365 pics. I bought the pants on clearance at Target (although the biggest size they had was 9 months, so I added the band around the bottom for Amaia). The tops are just regular onesies that came in a pack. I appliqued the 'psych' and the airplanes on the shirts, and then freezer paper stenciled the pants.
Yes, I sat there with an exacto knife and a cutting board and cut out at least 30 stencils of the word psych. Which means I had 30 little circles that went inside the 'p', etc. It was a mess. I ended up using tweasers to position each little itty bitty piece of stencil on to the page. Next time, I'll just carve it out of an eraser and make it a stamp.
Solia This Month:
*Started grabbing things with her hands and stuffing it in her mouth. Her favorite is to grab the thin strands of hair at the base of my neck and hold on for dear life, ripping them out. Which probably explains why I'm going bald backwards.
Amaia This Month:
*Every time I have to change Solia's diaper, SHE has to get the diaper and I only get 1 wipe, unless it's poopy
*This is how Amaia likes to entertain Solia: "HiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiii So-wee-uh! Gah Gah Gah gah gah gah gah gah gah-you happy now?"
*She always says "Amaia need a be RAAAT back" when she leaves the room
*She'll always tell us to look at stuff, except she says "yurk at dis, yurk at dis"
*She's fond of saying "Jeeze a weeze, Em..."
*She's started talking jibberish to herself or 'on the phone' to someone.
*When she wants to say "I already did" it sounds like "I do did".
The following are the 365 pictures for these last two weeks.
And lastly, one cute pic of Justin in our first temporary living apartment, with our family pics we did right before we left.
Dude you are crazy to freezer stencil those pants!. They are super cute though! I've been wanting to try freezer paper stenciling, but I don't really have anything in mind on what to make.
