It has been a long while again. I get so busy, I haven’t been online much, and I just don’t even think about popping in here.
Things are going fairly well. No, we still aren’t moved, but we’re getting there. Only 5 weeks to go until we move all the way – and we can’t wait! Of course, as fast as time is going, we’ll be down to the last week and rushing around to get everything done, lol. We’ve been up at the house all weekend long every weekend lately, working on stuff there. We have the walls in Princess’s room painted, just have to put wallpaper up (on one wall) and paint the trim. The color she picked out looks just beautiful on the walls. 🙂 This weekend we’ll get the wallpaper up (*fingers crossed*) and get started on Peanut’s room. If we don’t get the master bedroom painted before we move, it won’t be the end of the world, but I want to make sure the kids’ rooms are done.
We’ve also been working outside when we can. We really enjoyed last week’s beautiful weather! Hubby mowed the front yard yesterday – took him a few hours to do with the push mower. We’re really going to have to get a lawn tractor one day. I cleaned up one flower bed in the front yard, and my fingers have been itching to get started on cleaning up the landscaping/flower beds by the road, but I have to stay focused on getting the inside stuff done when I can. There will be all summer to worry about cleaning up the yard! 🙂
I don’t remember if I mentioned it before or not, but we have a pair of muskrats that live in our pond. We like to watch them swim around. Yesterday I went for a walk around the pond, and had great fun watching the pollywogs darting about in the shallows. The house is on a main road, and there is a condo complex beyond the back side of our property, but there is still a lot of nature to be found. It is so nice just to stand on the deck, and just listen. There are birds everywhere (including the mama pheasant that lives under the hedge in the side yard flower garden), and deer that have been brave enough to come right up to the house (hoof prints galore all over the yard).
We’ll all be glad to have the move over with, so we can start living life there. If not for school, we’d be finishing up the move in the next couple of days. Anyway, that’s all that’s been going on. Pretty much everything we do revolves around the new house in one way or another!
I’m off to check on dinner. I’ll be back around again sometime, hopefully sooner rather than later, but I’m not going to make any promises. 😉 ttfn!
