Moving...slowly

Progress is slow on getting the house ready to move in. The munchkins make it much more difficult to get things done. All of the holiday travel and gatherings have taken their toll on them combined with their teething and going to the new house. Today we are staying home all day and they are having a "jammie day" and staying in their pjs all day. Their schedules are so off too. Hopefully having a "normal" day will help them. Tomorrow we are going to Cincy to my Mom and Dad's to get my "new" used vacuum (we find a really nice one that was traded in on a new vacuum and was being cleaned up and hose replaced, etc. for my Christmas present from my parents) and then Mom is coming back with me to the new house to work. Hopefully we can get the kitchen washed down so I can start bringing some kitchen items over. We've been shopping for appliances and are hoping mom can watch the munchkins for a little while so we can run to a couple stores to hopefully buy them. We need a stove, fridge, and microwave.

We met our neighbors on Saturday. They are really nice. They even brought us a care package as a welcome to the neighborhood! Here's the kicker...Apparently we are moving into twin central! Our neighbors have 28 year old identical twin boys, the family across the street is expecting twins via surrogate (her sister) any day now, and one street over is a family with twins. We found that humorous.

We are at the weather's mercy as to when we will move. Unfortunately, at this time of year, you have to be. We are hoping to have the kids' room and our room painted before we move. We were also wanting the rec room painted, but we have decided that carpet needs replaced, so we aren't in as big of a rush to paint it because we won't be putting furniture in there yet. So far, the kids' room is spackled and the ceiling painted and our room has the ceiling painted and the chair rail is pulled down. DH is going over after work and is hoping to have the kids' room primed and our room spackled. Tomorrow, we can hopefully get our room primed and the kids' room painted and the kitchen wiped down. Andy gets off of work at 1 and then is headed to the house and mom, the kids, and I should be their by 2 or 3, so hopefully we can get alot accomplished. If the munchkins cooperate, I'm hoping to get some of the stuff boxed up here. We will see!

Hope everyone is having a great Monday!
