Halloween

Well I had Cinderella and Ang (from Avatar) as my little Halloween kids this year. I thought Heather was too old to dress up for Halloween, but I guess I am just out of the loop because SO many people were dressed up. Good to know for next time I guess. I think Dad had fun shaving Devon's head and then I got to paint the arrows on him. He was so good not to get the paint on the seat of the car. An extra star for Devon!!

Well another week has gone by and I don't really know what to post about. Devon had his sixth Birthday party at McDonald's and he had such a good time being able to have his friends there to play with and have food and cake with. That weekend was General Conference weekend so we spent that time over at my mom's watching conference. We of course have had more house issues, but I think it will just be that way for a while. 9 Black widows so far, I'm sure it's not a record but I don't like the thought of even one. Just the basics of school and running around with the kids. I'm sure people must think I'm crazy sometimes, and I probably am, so I hope it doesn't rub off on the kids.

Slightly catching up

Okay, so it has been over a month since I last posted on this thing. Partially because of the move and partially because for what seems like the longest time we did not have internet service for me to be able to post anything. So to catch up first and foremost, WE MOVED!! Yeah!! We are in our new lovely home in our lovely sand, and we are very happy to be here. But the weekend that we moved we also went to a Mariners game. First game the kids have ever been to. We had so much fun. I picked the day when they give out the back packs and the kids had a blast getting to run the bases after the game. I could not believe how many people were out there with their kids to let them run the bases. So pictures of that to come. That was our before school hurrah. Then of course we came back from Seattle and finished moving the rest of our things on Monday. Fun, fun. That was a long weekend. School started for Heather on Wednesday so we had her ready for that and Devon started Kindergarten on slow start. So some of the kids in his class went to school on Wednesday, he went to school with the other kids on Thursday, and then on Friday all of the kids went to school together. Weird to me but I guess it works.

Aug 25, 2009

Well tomorrow we finally get to sign papers on the house and then start moving in. Yeah!! It seems like I have been waiting for this forever. We put money down on building this house just over a year ago. It seems like such a long time coming. They still have a few little issues that are going to have to be addressed but for the most part everything is ready to go. We still had no stove as of a few hours ago, so that is going to have to be put in soon. Very soon. Almost done with this, then what will I blog about? Back to talking about our lives and our cute kids.

Still no home, but getting closer

Okay so on the 11th of August I was happy to see that they had finally taken my stove out of the box and I thought that meant I would have the stove installed in the next few days. I came back the next day and my stove was gone. My first thoughts were, Oh no the stove didn't work, something was wrong with it and they have to replace it. My second thought was, Oh no someone finally got in and stole something. So I keep expecting the stove to be put in and still no stove. I went over this week while the ladies were "cleaning" the house to see if the stove had materialized. They were like, oh no there's not a stove yet, is it a white one? Odd, since all of my appliances are stainless steel. No, I replied, it's stainless steel too. Oh no haven't seen one of those. They told me I could go ask the foreman, because he was over at another house. Didn't really want to bother him at the other house, so I continued to wait. Until Tuesday when we went to talk to the AHO lady and asked her when we were getting a stove. She said, Oh it's on order it should be here soon. So I asked her what happened to the other one? Um, it was stolen, we think over the weekend. So I got out my camera and showed her the picture of the stove and the date, does it really take that long for someone to notice that something has been stolen. Then to top it off they didn't only steal the stove, they stole carpet padding and carpet. Nice people we have in this world. Supposedly we will have a stove tomorrow. I need the house to get done so we can close. We need to move next week. We have too many other things going on. My friend is going to have her baby this week, we think. School registration for Heather, checking at Discover for Devon. Going to the Mariners game next week. Our plan for tomorrow is to go swimming and hopefully make it to the fair for a bit. Hope that all comes together. Especially since I can't sleep and I should be in bed right now. We'll make it work, seems like we somehow always do.
So happy for the cousins and all the new babies that they are bringing to the family. Too bad that we usually have to find out about it on blogs or facebook, but at least we finally find out.

Nothing new

While I am really not surprised that our house is not done yet, it is getting closer to being completed. I don't know why they told Todd it would be done tomorrow. They will have to be working extremely quickly if that is the case. We do now have carpet and granite countertops and mirrors in the bathrooms. SO yeah for some progress. Still no stove yet, don't know what really happened to that. One day it was in the garage and the next day it was gone. Still can't wait to move though. Top priority, I just need a date.

Done in a week?

Okay so I guess while I was out and about today the mortgage people called and told Todd that there is some sort of letter that I have to write, he doesn't know what, I guess I will have to call and find out tomorrow. And that they say the house is suppose to be done in 1 week. I'm at a loss for the week. Because while I am totally thrilled that we will be able to actually move into our new house, it just doesn't seem like it will be done in a week. I almost feel like going over and leaving sticky notes on things that still need to be done. But they always assure me that it will all get done and I will love it. We shall see.

As for other things going on in our lives, Heather will be back on the evening of the 19th. Yeah!! She will be coming home just in time for our big move. Then at the beginning of September she will start 7th grade and crazy little Devon will start Kindergarten. So fun for everyone, except Charity who will be stuck at home with me.

The kids are cute as always, and I can't turn the pictures for some reason. Can't wait to pack some more and move. We had a yard sale this last weekend to get rid of some of the things that we didn't want in our new house, we'll see if we find more and have to do another one.
