Getting Settled

After a week of moving, I feel like we are finally getting settled in our new house. We still have a long way to go, (my bedroom and the garage) but we are making progress. This summer my goal is to sort through every bin, box and cubby we have in our house and get rid of the things my kids don’t use anymore. They have so many great toys, but they seem to get lost in the shuffle. I want to weed out the bad from the good so we can start using the good stuff!

Here are some pictures from our move.

Monday Meanderings

Well, we are out of the old house and ready to turn over the keys today. It is a relief to have all the stuff moved and the old house clean. There is still a lot of work to do on the new house. We have almost unpacked, except for the garage, which is a total wreck. Here are some of my goals I hope to accomplish this week.

  • Finish unpacking
  • Finish kids’ report cards
  • Hang pictures
  • Paint school room
  • Order border for play room
  • Buy hardware for garage shelves
  • Start to organize the garage
  • Mail coupons for troops
  • Take the kids to the pool
  • Put away dishes given to us by ladies at church
  • RSVP to two baby showers
  • Plan oldest daughter’s birthday party
  • Finish mount laundry

If I can accomplish most of my list this week, I will be very happy. Things like the garage are projects that will take longer than a week, but I need to get started on them soon. We are taking a month break from school. I hope to plan for the coming school year (I have one starting high school) and then start back in July. I still need to order some curriculum but that can wait until next week.

Have a great week and don’t forget to visit Tiany’s blog for more Monday Meanderings.
