It's Here, It's Finally Here!
After a month of living in disarray, we are finally moved back into our house. The carpet looks great, and the kids furniture just arrived this afternoon. We were worried that perhaps the movers would have a hard time getting the furniture into the basement.... but all went well. Jessica absolutely loves her new room and I'm hoping Caroline will too, once she sees it.
I am mourning the loss of the play-room/office, but I know our family will be better off with the computer upstairs where it can be monitored better, and quite frankly, my hope is to not live here much longer anyhow.
This all started when I couldn't stand my ivory-colored carpet one more minute and decided to go dark... I went to a local carpet store that was having a sale, picked out the darkest carpet I could find, and within 15 minutes had it ordered and ready... then I had to get the house ready! It took 2 weeks (we did have to postpone installation once) but finally we were ready. Afterwards, though, we decided the carpet was too nice for our old furniture... off it went to DI and then the chaos ensued. We hoped the girls would fight less with their own rooms... usually they fight over who made the mess mom was freaking out about (because of course, you know none of them would ever leave their clothes on the floor) or that nobody was helping them clean it up (even though mom, who absolutely didn't make the mess cleans everything up--eventually!)
So, the furniture took another 3 weeks, but now it is here, and we can all sleep well in our own beds tonight. Yea!

Lagoon-a-Beach
Well, I finally did it. I braved Lagoon-a-Beach with all of my kids on Friday... and they all lived! Not a single drowning, no one got lost, not even a life-gaurd rescue! Miracle, if you ask me. We had so much fun, we went back today! Notice, no pictures though. There is no way I could have done 5 kids and a camera with just me...
maybe someday my sweet Gerald will have time to join us. I worry he is missing out on so much fun with the kids. How I hate that someone has to pay the bills!
