ONE new {old} home...
i spent the first day of december digging and pulling aside boxes
that held our family's essentials: toiletries, clothes, towels and linens.
it was pure CHAOS!
we moved into a house that was really weeks away from being
ready to hold it's new family comfortably, but we had no choice.
{just too expensive to simultaneously carry another month of rent and a new mortgage}.
the only room that didn't have concrete floors was the kitchen,
and that room didn't {and still doesn't} have a sink or stove top.
the microwave has been getting lots of use and soup is dinner most nights.
since the new flooring wasn't down, and our stuff had to go into the house,
we had the movers put almost the entire contents of our home in the boys'
future play/bedroom. the pix below is only about 1/4 of what went in the room.
we did have our bed carried into into the master bedroom and the
boys' beds set up in the future library, so despite all the dust and boxes,
at least we had our comfy beds to sleep in.
people ask, how are the boys holding up?
i chuckle and respond, the boys? they think it's one GIANT adventure!
they don't care at all we are living out of boxes and can't find anything.
it's much harder on c and i {especially since we like to be organized}
finn and scout remind us that this is what making memories is all about.
~ we have one story we all laugh about now.
c removed the front doorknob since it had seen better days, and we haven't
picked a new one up, so we literally have a HOLE in the door where the knob should go.
we lock the deadlock at night and stick a hand towel in the hole to keep the cold air out.
so classy isn't it? *laugh*
nite nite.
