The move on the 29th went as well as can be expected I suppose. Picked up the moving truck at 7am and totally filled the 26 foot truck to the brim. Loaded up my car, the ILs truck and Barry’s work van as well! We have WAY too much stuff. LOL Finished unloading at the house around 6pm or so and got the beds put together. DH didn’t get back from the city (returned the truck and picked up his work van) until after midnight so no TV or anything else.Saturday I went to WalMart to pick up some stuff and lunch and by the time I got back, the internet and phone was installed, Sears was there to deliver the appliances and my brother, his wife, my sister & her 3 boys and my mom were at the house! Talk about chaos! LOL
Slowly we’ve been taking stuff out of the boxes, putting up decorations and buying new things that we need. I’d say we are about 90% moved in to our house. We still need to make a shed and possibly buy a gas insert for the fireplace and some other little things like curtains for the windows, but we’re doing pretty good for being here only 2 weeks! The first picture is the truck at the old house…still haven’t gotten around to taking a picture of the outside of our new one.
One exciting thing that happened last week is one of Kristen’s top front teeth has started coming in! For those who have known me for a few years, you know that Kristen lost her front teeth in an accident in February of 2006, so we are VERY excited that they are finally coming in! Now I wish the 2 bottom ones she lost earlier in the year would start coming through! I don’t remember it taking this long for teeth to come in when I was a kid!
This morning I woke up to Kaylee whining for me to wipe her bum so when I finally gave in and got up to do it, I looked at the clock and it said 7:28! Normally I get up just before 7 so I can make Kristen’s lunch and do her hair before she leaves for the bus stop (just one house over) at 7:25. So yeah, she missed the bus. LOL I got us all ready and dropped her off at school even before her bus got there I think! At least at this school it has a roundabout in the parking lot so you are allowed to drop off your child and go, unlike her old school.
Here’s a picture of the new family cards I ordered from Vistaprint the other day. The dotted line around it is just because it was a screenshot from when I was editing the text. Rather than needing a pen & paper when I need to give out our address, phone number, etc., I just give out one of these! They were free too (besides shipping) so it was a good deal! I also got a self-inking rubber stamp with our new address so it’ll be easy to address Christmas cards.
Tonight I’m going to my mom’s to set up and price all my yard sale stuff and staying overnight so I won’t have to get up so early for the yard sale tomorrow. My sister is staying overnight too as she has some stuff in the yard sale as well. Whether it’s raining or sun shining, it’ll go on as Mom has a huge double car garage to shelter the stuff. I hope to make a good amount of money as I don’t want any of the stuff coming back into our house!
Monday my sister, Mom & I as well as Kaylee and my nephew Spencer will be driving to a town a half an hour away to shop. I’m sure it’ll be a blast, especially if I have a good amount of yard sale money to spend! LOL
