The Excitement Builds!!!!!!!

The kids and I went over to our new house tonight. We move in "4 sleeps"!!!! It seems hard to believe that it will actually be ready for us, but they claim we will have occupancy tomorrow and they'll put the keys in our hands on Thursday. I am sure once the cleaning ladies do their job, it will be more fit to live in. The carpet is in, the light fixtures are 80% done, half the appliances were in. It has come together the last few days. They still need to put in 3 of the 4 toilets, a few more light fixtures, the fridge and dishwasher and the closet systems. There may other little things I am forgetting, but they have 2 more days and that's it.

We have had a fun 2 days. Yesterday, it was yucky out and stormed. My boys watched 4 movies in a row from the time they got up until later in the afternoon. I cannot recall a time when that has happened. Sadie napped for 4 hours, so I had lots of free time. After all that quiet time, we went to Logan's for dinner, then out to the Kaat fields to watch some of the All-Star games. Made it home in time to see the Bachelorette, which I loved.

Today, Cobe started football camp, so he and Ryan went to that. The younger 2 slept in until 9:00, then they rode their bikes for awhile. I listed a bunch of stuff on Craig'slist that I needed to keep until we moved, and the stuff already sold today. So, we are without TV until we move, since our tv's sold. Our washer and dryer sold as well, but luckily, she is waiting until Friday morning to pick those up so I can keep washing up until then. We headed to the pool after lunch and it was bright and sunny at the time. Brooks' friend Evan went with us, and we met Mary Jo, Boeves, Overzets and Cobe's friend Darius and his mom there. The kids had a great time playing in the water, on a huge dirt pile, at the park and on the b-ball court. The weather looked like at any second it was going to rain, but then it would clear up again. Cobe went home with Darius to play, and I ran Evan home, then went to Lisa's to walk. A shower tonight has never felt so good!!!!!!

I know I am going to regret not preparing for this move better, but my way of preparing has been selling off everything we own so I don't have to move it. Forget packing! :-)

Tomorrow is football camp once again and swim lessons after that. I am heading to bed now to crash.
