More boring updates

Trying to get settled in our new house.  It is taking way too much time for my taste.  Probably because we don't have any furniture!  Actually, we just got our new dining room set yesterday.  I went shopping with my friend and tried to scope out the stuff over the last two weeks.  Jim and I went a few days later and I was ready to pull my hair out.  He just couldn't make a decision.  Most of the tables and chairs that I found were not the samples on the floor.  You basically see a few samples but then the ones I really wanted were the ones you had to decide on from a picture.  Jim wasn't into it.  He said he just couldn't decide from looking at a small picture in a catalog. 

I took him to a gem of a store that I discovered a few days after moving.  I can only describe this store as my dream store.  Anyway, I saw a table there and decided to show Jim thinking that he probably woudn't like it.  Guess what!  It was the winner.  He loved it.  Found locally, available immediately, delivered yesterday!  Yes! 

The family room furniture is being delivered on Friday.  Finally!  Jim called about it today and discovered that it has been sitting for almost 10 days now.  They didn't have a valid phone number so they couldn't get ahold of us.  So frustrating. 

Painters come at the beginning of May.  They will be doing the 2 story entryway, hallways and family room.  Poor Jimmy is stuck with doing our dining room this weekend.  Maybe even the front living room : ) 

The girls continue to amaze me with how well they have adjusted to the whole move.  They love their new playroom.  They sleep wonderfullyThe basement is massive.  Part of it is finished and the other part is unfinished.  Both sections have a ton of natural light as there are oversized windows on both sides and a walkout door on the unfinsihed side.  They love both side equally.  One minute they will be quietly playing in the playroom side and the next minute they are riding their bikes or scooters in the unfinished side.  I love it.  I can be down there unpacking boxes and hanging out with them at the same time.

I haven't gotten used to having an attached garage yet.  I know most people think I am weird, but I prefered our detached for many reason.  I can't say that I love it, but we are keeping it clear of anything but cars, a few necessary items and our shoes.  I hate cluttered garages!  Who are we kidding - I hate clutter anywhere!

We had a fun outting tonight.  We took the girls on campus for the famous Creamery ice cream!  I can't say that it is as good as Stewart's, but it is the closest second we will ever get!  Jim was just saying that it is so  nice being so close to everything.  Minutes from family, minutes from friends, minutes from campus and downtown.  I can't even image how much money I will be saving in gas mileage. 

I am feeling bad that Sydney isn't in preschool for the last few weeks of the school year, but I am enjoying having her home with me.  Sawyer is regisntered for preschool - I can't believe it!  How can muy little girl be going to school.  We have to get Syd registered for Kindergarten.  I think she is ready.  PA's cutoff is September.  I know that she will be younger than most of her school friends, but I know she will love it.

Can't think of anything else right now.  Pictures to follow once we have some painted rooms and furniture!
