Got up early, had lots to do! Allison requested cinnamon toast for breakfast, so fixed a ton and the girls garbled them down. Headed over to the old house to pull the huge hosta and other plants that I wanted to keep. It seemed to heat up early, so we had to get them pulled and moved and replanted before it got too hot. Not that we were slow, but boy were they HEAVY. We brought 3 daylily plants over and 2 huge hosta. We pulled 3 hosta but couldn't fit it in the car with everything else, so we have to go back and get that one. We did manage to get everything in the ground, I just hope they make the transition well. I got the hosta from Jim's in Charleston, probably 7 years ago and they have been great, year after year. I haven't pulled anything from the front yard at the old house yet, but need to. Trying to juggle a new house, unpacking, our South America trip coming next Saturday, I can't seem to find enough hours in the day to get it all done. I am very thankful that the girls have helped tremendously. It amazes me every day how well we are all getting along and this house actually feels like a home.
I managed to get another coat of paint in two more walls in my closet so that only leaves one wall, but I have ran out of paint, so that last wall will not be done until after our trip. However, because I finished the other ones, I was able to empty about 9 boxes of clothes. I look in that closet and think, 'now I have room for someone else's clothes'. ha ha. Isn't that silly? But the old closet was overflowing with my clothes, not to mention me having two dressers filled. So, I kind of laugh every time I walk in the closet.
I also found a stand up freezer for the garage that a friend on FB has posted, so that's perfect. The old one I had, I left at the old house, however, we use a lot of freezer space, and the new fridge won't be here until next month, so this will be perfect. Lost track of time, so hopefully picking that up tomorrow.
The girls got more stuff unpacked, and we ended up breaking down more boxes. I tried to get more boxes more organized in the garage. Would like to have enough organization to get the Audi in the garage when we are gone for 9 days. Oh, and we got the tv up on the wall in the living room. We did it all by ourselves. It was way higher than at the old house, so it was, I'm sure, entertaining for anyone that happened to be watching from outside. BUT, its up, its secure and it works! Not too bad for 3 girls, huh?
Allison seems to have found a liking for Sloppy Joes, so that's what we stopped and made for lunch. Again, I'll go back and say how nice it is with all of us in the house and it so much feels like a family. I took this weekend off, because I knew that we needed to unpack and with the trip next weekend, I had too much to do. But it is nice to be here and the feeling in this house, is nice.
Lauren has built a Fort today out of blankets and boxes in the bonus room, Allison has her Xbox hooked up to her tv in her room and I sit here and look around and still have so much to do, but also know it would be nice to just put my feet up and relax....... I just may do that, after I finish a few more things! :)
