We're in our house and the boxes are slowly, but surely leaving! I've found that once I got the boxes unpacked in the living room/kitchen and bedrooms that the rest of the house is unpacking more slowly. No pictures of been hung, so it looks a little blah! And, some of the rooms aren't quite arranged the way I would like. I finally found Sophie's comforter today in the Christmas decoration boxes! She has patiently waited for her comforter and every time I was sure I had the right box it was linens to another bedroom! We had to take out two door frames to get couches into rooms. Now, we're meeting with handymen that can fix it and maybe do some bookshelves in our office. It seems so crazy to me that the builder would put in a smaller than normal door frame going into the basement when he knew the basement was going to be used for a family/game room.
This is the front of our house on move in day. I never thought I would have enough stuff to fill a whole 53' semi.... I've realized that I can't part with any of the kids old toys from when they were toddlers.
This beautiful scene is in our backyard everyday. The horses from the riding stables come down to the back of our yard and we feed them apples and carrots. The brown horse is the bully and he tries to chase the other horses away so he can get all the carrots for himself.
Here is our half pipe getting loaded on Johnny's flatbed truck. Scott's friend volunteered to load the half-pipe and drive it to us; he's probably rethinking this whole deal! I had a hard time watching them load it and then unload it, but it made it in one piece. Christian is so happy to have it.
Our yard is 1/2 an acre and I had to take a picture of Jay using our neighbors riding lawnmower. Initially, he had Christian mow it with our 20" mower which took him about 2 hours to mow our yard (he had nothing else to do anyway -> kept him from getting bored!) But, it started to get too long and so Jay was going to mow it, but our mower kept bogging down because the grass was too long. Our neighbor took pity on him and let him borrow his John Deere. Jay came in the house saying, "we've got to get one of those!"
