We made it Safe and Sound!!

(this is our mess left from the move we had a bigger pile of boxes but someone stole them for their move)

We made it! We had...One big moving van....One trailer with our white van on it....One trailer behind the big Green van.....eight kids....one dog and a partridge in a pear tree, phew!! It was crazy and we unpacked as quick as possible and then we have been dealing with sickness with the littler kids and me, I guess all the stress has caught up to us! 

We are renting our new home, it has six bedrooms and 36 hundred sq. feet. It's an older house with some quirks in it. The biggest quirk is the plugs, you plug something in and pray that it works, one minute it does and then one minute it doesn't and it likes to spit out the plugs, is that safe? The kitchen is the smallest room in the whole house with no pantry, that was hard finding places for things when you are use to a pantry. The toilet downstairs in the basement has issues, I had to put a note behind the toilet saying: NO POOPING in this toilet. USE ONLY SIX squares count them out! This Toilet Plugs up to easy!! 

I had fun the other day cleaning up the floor, we'll just leave it at that! The basement is BLUE, yes blue carpet which is actually a nice color of blue and it's newer but then they went over board and painted the walls blue, but it works I decorated the walls with my big metal stars and it works! It doesn't have central air, which is common for these parts, it has radiant heating in the CEILING!! I have heard it in the floors but in the ceiling? But it's a warm and cozy house and we love it!! I love that it has a basement!! I love all the tall trees that our neighbors have on both sides of us, I feel nestled in a cozy spot it's great! We have had lots and I mean lots of people come over and bring plates of cookies to greet and meet us. We had our one neighbor invite us for dinner and then the other neighbor (who is a celebrity, I will get to that in a minute) invite us over for dessert and then the teenagers and kids have been ringing our door bell since we've been here, it's been fun!!

So far we love IF!!
