Moving

We had a lot of cleaning to do before leaving to our new house. Even with both kids pitching in it took forever. Part of that may be that when they weren't helping they were actually making a mess. I think I vacuumed one of the bedrooms three times. Eventually we did make it out. I left a little ahead of Buddy with the kids. He caught up to us in Charleston WV at a hotel. The drive that day had been pretty easy since both kids took a long nap. I guess it was easy for them. I was sick and tired. Buddy and I were more ready to stop than they were. The next day they were a little cranky toward the end but we eventually made it. When we arrived we didn't have the key. The realtor had hid it somewhere and we looked all over. Under rocks, by the light, in the planters. We were all grumpy that we had driven so far and couldn't get in. After what seemed like forever Buddy tried a window and was able to get in easily. The realtor called back soon after and told us the key was under the front mat. Why hadn't we thought of the most obvious spot?





It took less than five hours for Bohdin and Nyla to get the bedroom to the level of messiness they prefer. What's funner than throwing clothes out of a suitcase, right?


We have everything unloaded now and are in the long process of unpacking. Most of the toys are out and that's about it. We've made headway in the kitchen. We're mostly just getting used to our new house. It's so big and that has been the biggest adjustment for me. We all used to be steps away from each other. Now we can be on entirely different floors. I can't hear what's going on at all times anymore. Bohdin will be able to get away with a lot more now. He never realized that I knew so much because I could hear everything. One of the best parts so far is the deep whirlpool tub. That has seen some extensive use. I think the playroom will be nice also. We have room to unpack toys that have been packed for months. The kids were excited to play with so many "new" toys today.

We have spotty free internet service right now because we haven't called for installation yet. We're having trouble deciding if we want cable tv. I've been on the internet for about 30 minutes now and I only lost the connection once and it was when I was trying to upload the blog pictures. I've failed twice on the pictures so no pictures today.
