Our Home Day 1

Today has been long to say the least...
It started at 6:15 as usual, only I had to get both kids fed and dressed so we could meet the painters at the new house at 8:30.  We stayed at the house unloading paint cans and getting a good feel of the layout all morning. Allen stopped by to check out the house and Marvin's new shop.  Camden enjoyed his company and showing him around the back yard. Then we went home for lunch and I put the kids down for their nap. After naptime was over we loaded back up and met Nana at the house to watch her take down the wall paper in the master bathroom.  She is a pro and by 7:00 she was finished!! Stacy showed up about that time with pizza for supper, we were all famished.  Amanda and Lola stopped by around 5:00 to see the material for the shower curtains in both bathrooms.  Amanda picked out the material online after seeing the colored tile in the bathrooms for all of 2 minutes and it looks perfect!  I couldn't have picked out material that would coordinate that well if I had the tile with me in a fabric store.  Mama is taking the material back with her to sew them for me. Marvin is still at the house right now trying to pull up all of the black and white linoleum in the kitchen and laundry room. We have also determined that the wall paper on the ceiling of the guest bathroom will not come off without bringing down the ceiling with it. And yes I did say wall paper on the ceiling!  I am going to talk to the painters in the morning and hopefully we can cover it with lots of primer and just paint over it. Lots to do before we start moving in and I will try to keep track of our progress.  Gonna also try to remember to take pictures of the outside of the house tomorrow so I can post them. But for now all I have is a picture of my lovely children who look almost like twins!  I never realized how much they look like each other until I took a picture of them together. Too bad they aren't smiling, they are busy giving me their "Marvin" look.
