Well, incase you hadn't guessed, WE'RE IN!!!!! We signed on the 20th and were inside painting that afternoon. We painted Aric's room blue, Dehlia's room yellow and Madison's room pink. The kids got to help. We had fun painting together. A little bit of stress of trying to get the kids to keep the paint on the walls and not on the trimwork and the carpet, but all in all, I think we had fun. The movers came on Saturday morning. Thank goodness they got a late start...it gave us time to have the fridge delivered, have the security systems people come in and for us to finish painting Madison's room since we didn't have enough energy to paint it on Firday afternoon. They came and unloaded the truck, put the beds together, and left. We went back to the apartment and got a few essentials and the dogs and came back to the house to sleep. This way, Angus didn't have to fight the steps at the apartment anymore. He had been having a time fighting his way back up after we walked him around to go potty.
We've gotten a lot of the boxes unpacked, but still have some work to do. We've been working on the fence a bunch lately too. Rented an auger that attached to a machine to make hole digging a LOT easier. Dad Lang's 1-person auger just wasn't cutting thru the dirt here. Have gotten all of the posts and stringers up and we are working on the pickets now. Having a rainy weekend, so I don't know how much will get done, but we will try to get out there if we can, or it will be done when the rain is done. Going to try to work in the garage on the gates since it is raining though.
The kids are loving the new house. Had Aric tell me for a few days that he wanted to stay at the apartment and not the new house, but he has since changed his tune. The girls are liking having their own room. Madison especially. She asys it is great to have her own room, but kind of creepy when it is dark. I think she is doing fine. It is working out well, since Dehlia is a morning person and Madison isn't really. Dehlia is up like a shot when the alarm goes off (like her Daddy) and Madison is slow to get going (1ike her Mommy). Aric likes his blue room too.
Angus is doing much better. I think that once we got him to the house with the furniture that he was accustomed to and everything, that he has relaxed some. Also, the medicine is in his system better, so we aren't seeing drunk Angus, just has to go out much more frequently Angus. I will surely be happy when we can just open the sliding door into the backyard to let them out instead of having to walk them. Angus goes back to the vet today to have them check his levels again. We'll see what they have to say about everything. Nilla is doing fine, just bopping along like normal.
We had some snow last week. The kids got to miss a day of school and play in it. They were so excited. Especially since the last time they missed school for snow, we really didn't get any. They had fun throwing snowballs and helping make a snowgirl.
Well, until the next time.....Have a good one!!
