All of our stuff is out of storage, but it's still mostly in the garage. We are slowly bringing everything in and putting it in it's proper place. The house looks so nice and big that I can't stand to just bring it all in and fill it up already. I know that will happen soon enough. I still don't know where everything is, but I'm kind of used to that by now. I have enough kitchen stuff unpacked to cook supper which is really nice. I'm not a big decorator, so that is always slow going for me, but I do have curtains for the sliding glass door. I was so excited to get those up and see how they looked, but when Keith got done hanging them, you could tell something was wrong. I bought two of the exact same size curtains, but one was about three inches shorter than the other one! (no, the curtain rod wasn't crooked, the curtains are actually different lengths) Oh well, it's easy to return one. At least I really like how they look. The kids are all enjoying having their own rooms. I wasn't sure if the boys would like being in separate rooms after sharing for so long, but so far they love it. Chloe loves her room, but can't always remember where it is!! We all still get a little turned around upstairs. I'm loving having the laundry room upstairs. I think it might be my favorite room!! (That's a bonus because it makes me want to do laundry.)
We registered the boys for school today. They aren't really looking forward to school because they don't know anyone there, but I know they'll make friends quickly. I'm not sure if I can get used to the time difference though. They start school at 7:50!! I know it will make the afternoons nice, but still...7:50. One nice thing is that Keith can take the kids to school in the mornings. I don't think it will be an every day thing, but I'm so excited to have that as an option. Maybe Chloe and I can sleep in occasionally!! Keith is definitely enjoying the much shorter drive to and from work. We all are actually! I still forget that it isn't going to take him almost an hour to get home.
We love the house, and don't have much to complain about, except for one thing...FLYS!! I hate flys. They're driving me crazy. They are becoming quite brave, and actually attack me while I'm cooking or washing dishes. I will win this battle though. I'm not going to let them get to me!!

I completey understand the box situation. I had to laugh about the fly problem. I did go outside last night and saw eyes with the flash light and was rushing Priscilla's personal business up to run inside and hide. I would take the flys anyday! I hate skunks!
We can not wait to come visit!
Yippeee! I am so glad you were able to blog and I am so glad you are liking the new house. I am very upset I have not seen it yet. We HAVE to be sure to plan a time SOON!!!
Invite me over & we can decorate together!
Unpacking is so hard. We had boxes still packed after living in our house for a couple of years. It really lets you know what things are important and what are just things you can't part with. Finally, we just stopped looking through them and put them directly in the attic. I don't know why we think we have to have so much stuff. well, have fun unpacking and hopefully we can come see the new house soon.
I hate Flys too! Oh how I hate those things! I am so excited about your house and can not wait until we can come up and see it!!! We need pics when you get a chance so we can see what it looks like all filled up=)
I was glad Thad and I got to see Chloe and the boys while they were down. Chloe fell a sleep at dinner=) Oh, and we thought about sending the boys home with our puppy!=) Tell everyone I said hey! We are only a month out until the wedding!!! See you all then!
