We have been in the new house for a few weeks now, and everything is starting to come together. The move itself took about a week for us to get here and for everything to come together. Three weeks, if you count the time it took for us to finally get our pots and pans. Three words for movers, "CHECK THE STOVE!" We luckily found out early that the movers forgot to pack our pots and pans that were stored in the drawer below the stove. Other than missing pots and pans, we received two broken lamps. The rest of the items seem to have arrived in good order.
A big thank you to Matt's sister, Becky, who came up the first weekend to help us unpack and organize a lot of our things. Another big thank you to Matt's parents, who came up to help us in anyway, so we put them to work on the kid's rooms. They seemed very enthusiastic when we put a paint brush in their hands and had them painting walls with colors such as, "Princess Pink" and "Sorcerer's Hat Blue!" I will post the final product once the rooms are done. Right now, just imagine a room that has not been painted since it was built 9 years ago, and in one weekend was given such an uplift of color!
Troy and I also started going to some toddler events at the Mall of America and a great place called, "Jungle Jamboree!" We are trying to also join some of the events from my new Stay at Home Mum's Group, but have not had a chance yet, with the move, and with our week away to Wisconsin. We are going to try harder this week, since the baby will be here before we know it!
