Moved

Well we moved to Rexburg, Idaho so Eli can emark on a new adventure of school. Moving was great some nice neighbors helped unload the stuff. My rule of moving set up the beds with sheet and blankets first then get the furniture so you can sit on it. And so you can work the next day set up the tv so the kids can watch a movie. Then get the kids room to look like their last room fast so they feel secure. What I dislike the most is the last 6 boxes of where can you cram that stuff boxes, since the office is in our bedroom with the tv, because we don't have a tv stand we have used a mantel or furniture that was not ours. Slowly the place takes shape. I have learned to hang photos the first day even if I rearrange them at least a few so it feels like a place where we reside instead of white walls. Downers carpet in the kitchen, and no dishwasher. The washer pump died we did not put anitfreeze in it when we stored it. We had to have the land lady call a plummer since Eli thought the water did not work we just needed to pull out on the fixture go figure. At least the tub is clean. We need to get a table to eat on, minor. A. loves the area a play ground right out side with a fence, and ants, dirt and sidewalk so he rides his bike and plays, still working on the obedience issue telling his parents when he leaves, asking to go outside, answering when called, not going too far. C. escapes with his brother, and both boys love the ducks, me not as much, here is why the neighbors bought them they dont have kids, so she thought they were cute, until your kids step in the poop that is on the sidewalk and grass, or your kids chase them around almost causing a heart attack, C. pulling their baby feathers and hitting them on the head or feeding them sidewalk chalk. And kids splashing the duck pond water on you and them. Oh, well it has made it enjoyable for them to be here. I have another job inteview with a housekeeping aide positon at the hospital so hopefuly the other jobs works and I can work at the other job til it opens up. We have huge windows, need to address those sometime, haha I am so slow. I hung up a sheet and it did not cover it and A. walks in from outside and says "What did you do to the window" ok I can take a hint. And After hangin up family pitures the 3 I hung up I realized we need a new family picture and we will probably up date the kids photos instead of our families easier to do, and we never have taken pictures of cameron haha he is almost 2. oops. The family picture has Eli and myself and A. at about 10 months. needs to be redone and eli wants the frames to match 2 do and 1 does not. If they were painted in funky colors it would be fun but probably too much for him. oh well maybe some other time. Til then I need to consilidate boxes. We went to the D.I. to see if they still had the iron bar stools 3 each for $5 nope, but we did find the only size 4 pair of pants and bought them for A. he put the on once we got home, couldnt wash since the washer is broke. Should get the part in soon. Once I get a job we will save for a larger and newer washer it is small and my dream would be to get a front loader. So he wore the pants and played in a mud puddle so they are muddy and his shoes, I now know he is out of pants, stinky kids. Both are watching some ice age movie. Any way that is the update. Oh, I went shopping for food and A. went while Eli stayed with C. in the car and he threw a major fit twice he ended up being carried out kicking and screaming like a dinosaur thanks veronica for teaching him that now everyone thinks were are really hillbillies and uncivilized. I turned on the disposal to do dishes tonight and hear a bad sound, yeap a dish rag better than when I turned it on a fork and knife shot back I have learned to not look down into the disposal when operating. So now I need to sand and stain or paint some little kid chairs and maybe some picture frames. Although it is suppose to rain so we may be doing that on the porch. Who knows but it is story hour if we dont get kicked out like we have.
