Live from the new house
Thursday, October 21st, 2010The move went as well as moves can go. We still have too many a few car loads of stuff to get from the old house and then I have to go and clean it. I’m contemplating making a fort from all of these boxes instead of unpacking them. But the kitchen and bathrooms are fully functioning at this point so we have the important stuff covered. (Also? Friends sometimes bring you dinner when you have just moved. I never used to let people do nice things like that – I didn’t want them to go to the trouble but this time I smiled and said thank you. So incredibly wonderful.) I catch myself looking around the house and thinking it is so pretty that it can’t possible be ours and the bank’s!
My camera, its cord, and my computer all live in the same house now! Here is a hodge podge from the last few days.
The first thing Steve always hangs when we move into a new place – my Believe sign.
Our nanny this week. Seriously, it has been bad. They’ve watched way too much TV.
Ready for all of the fun gatherings we now have room to host!
Ummm…I might have a small problem with spices and vinegars and oils and herbs. I can’t stop buying new ones. Has anyone else with this type of affliction found a good way to store them? I have one of those staggered shelves and it doesn’t work as well as it should. And I don’t want a spice rack on my counter – besides they wouldn’t fit.
Do you think they like the new playset?
Even the dog tried to get in on that action
And why do all children decide that slides are meant for going up instead of down?
Tandem
Success! After several days of trying, Sabrina finally made it all of the way up the big slide.
I think this is called a butterfly bush (feel free to correct me) but ours seems to attract moths. Lots and lots of moths. It kind of freaks me out because I walk by and they all come flying out into my mouth face. But the girls LOVE the “butterflies” and try to catch them.
The girls did great sleeping the first night in their beds. They both seem to be adjusting fine. Steve and I need about 3 days of uninterrupted sleep while elves put away all of our belongings but are enjoying the new house too.
