Now that we have our stuff, we are trying to get settled into our new house and routines. We haven't found the right routine yet to get into, but we will. This week our goal is to figure that out so we can start it next week. Next week is our last week of summer before Xander heads to Kindergarten! I can't believe how fast this summer went!
My mom left us on the 6th. We were so lucky to have her with us, help us, and keep us company. She was much appreciated having around.
Our stuff arrived on the 8th. Finally. It was supposed to arrive on the 2nd, but that didn't happen. #militarylife #hurryupandwait
We got really lucky and the day was a cool one. Ever since, it's been miserably hot!
The kids entertaining the men
My soon to be office/craft space. It's a work in progress. I still don't have it done, but I do have most of it cleared out. Hopefully soon.
As I was unloading boxes daily, the kids would entertain themselves pretty well, for the most part, in their new toy room.
One night Xander set up a bunch of his animals in the crevices of his top bunk. We're actually going to take the top bunk down. We don't have a mattress for it since we gave the one to Sterling's bed set. But, it will be much easier to access his bed without the darn top on.
Nick went to MS to visit his mom for 4 days. From Thursday morning to Monday night {late!} it was just the kids and I. I'm still not comfortable in the house. It's pretty large and every noise threw me off. I took a recent thread on Facebook and used it. Have you ever seen the one to use wasp spray to deter intruders? Well, I put it next to my bed, lid off and ready for me to spray. Ha! Not even joking. It'll spray 27 feet so the crazy person wouldn't have a chance to get close. Oh, and I had the kids sleep in my bed. #truthbetold
They kids have also been creating masterpieces with this magnetic board.
We've had a hot week. So hot that when you step outside it's hard to breathe. Just plain gross out! We hit up Chick-fil-A to escape the heat and burn off some energy. #muchneeded
I finally had my counters looking decent. Every day I'd unload boxes and stuff the counters full of stuff. At the end of each night, I'd clear them off. It's nice walking down to a clean kitchen first thing in the morning.
Who doesn't love sliding down steps on their bottoms?! I know I did!
A sight that I could get used to. Xander loves Nick, but he's a momma's boy, so this is a sight that is not seen much. So when I saw it, I had to document it.
After unloading my kitchen boxes, I came across the set I purchased before leaving Nebraska. I bought these to put smoothies for Sterling when she was at camp. I made smoothies and froze them to go with her lunch. Yesterday, I put in some applesauce. They love them! It took probably less than 10 minutes to fill 10 and about $0.51 to make. It doesn't save me much money, only $.70 from buying the box of Mott's pouches. But, it didn't take long and I bought two more jars of applesauce to make more.
Enjoying a tea party with their babies
This weekend we have plans of clearing all of the boxes from the main floor and upstairs. We also want to get our exercise equipment up. I could benefit from a little exercise.
This weekend is my last weekend free from school. It's my second to last class and a research class. So it will not be easy.
There's a lot to do and a lot of changes coming.
