Chrrp chrrp chrrp…
Do you hear that? That’s the sound of the crickets chirping in this lonely cyber space.
In the midst of getting ready to close on our new house (Don’tcha love the sold sign?), I’ve been a busy busy beaver around here and haven’t had much time to post.
We are packing, packing, packing.
Still homeschooling among the boxes. (Hope to backtrack when I get some time and post all the great living World War I books we used!)
It looks so empty with all our books packed up. Sniff sniff…
And painting…can’t forget the painting. It’s easy lunches in the living room so that parts of bunk beds can get painted white on our dining room table (way too cold to do outside!) to be all ready for this wonderful princess space. Can’t wait to show off the final product!
Still to do:
- Pack coat closet.
- Pack bathroom closet.
- Pack kitchen.
- Finish packing scrapbook supplies.
- Clean desk (a.k.a. file the HUGE stack of papers and find homes for random stuff that’s been dropped off here) and finish packing office supplies.
- Finish painting.
And the littles?
They are merrily jumping on beds…with permission this time! We broke down bunk beds (i.e. see painting) and piled all mattresses in one room. They are “camping out” for the next 2 weeks. This makes a great space for daddy, his guitar and our nightly devos!
All the dressers have been moved into the other bedroom along with the toys. So we now have a designated toy space so I have room to pack. At least, that is how it works in theory! I must say I do like having all their clothes in one room. We paired them down quite a bit so all 6 children’s hanging clothes fit in one double closet. It is nice doing laundry and then putting everything away in one space. It makes me think that Michelle Duggar was on to something!
But today?
Well, today is no chores day. We had pop tarts for breakfast (Did I mention how we are on the easy convenience meal plan right now? My kiddos love it.) on paper napkins. No dishes. Laundry caught up yesterday. Most packing done. So this morning I will enjoy a cup of coffee and have a guilt-free morning blogging around and pinning stuff to my boards. Oh how I have house love right now!
Where I am visiting this morning:
- Ruffles and Stuff ~ vintage, shabby chic recycling and crafting
- The White Bench ~ creative elegant crafting
- Mom Tog ~ for mom’s who love photography
- My Romantic Home ~ need I say more?
- Modge Podge Rocks! ~ for a smorgasbord of ideas
- The Beehive Cottage ~ shabby chic goodness
simply necessary 
Amy;
This is the first time I got a chance to see your blog in a while. I love reading about all your advertures with the Children and Adam. This is a wonderful way to see my nieces and nephews as they grow up since we are so far apart. I went to Seattle to see Kimberly. Spent a week between Christmas and New Years with her and Lincoln. Had a wonderful time when we went to the beach in Cannon Beach, OR and it was actually warm enouugh that Kim & I walked barefoot in the sand. It was nice while it lasted. She has 14″ of snow and ice now. I love your new home and I don’t envy you having to pack and move, but I guess that can be an adventure in it’s own way. Love to all – Happy New Year and Congrats on owning your new home!
Aunt Pat
Thank you for the lovely words, Pat! We are very excited to move! Adam and I have talked about visiting Kim some time. We would love to visit the Seattle area. Maybe when little Eli is done nursing!
