So, Mindy invited us all for a day of swimming at her parents house on Tuesday! It was warm and perfect weather at the pool. But this time we missed Fannie and her girls and mom! It's hard to get us all together. We've been saying for a long time that we want to go to Hobby Lobby and I'm starting to think it won't ever happen. We did all manage to have a hot roast at Tony's on Sunday night. Sometimes the last minute planning just works better. (We wished that John and Mim couldn't come but their little baby just doesn't want to arrive on time! Come on little one!!! We are all waiting for your sweet arrival!!!) Anyway, maybe once school begins for all the cousins, we can plan a day of shopping with the moms! :) Even if it's for the upcoming holidays that someone said is in 14 weeks! Yikes!
Here are the little girls. The bigger kids swam in the deep part all day long.
And, Austin decided to like the swing after all!!! I figured out how to make it sit up straighter and now he's in for more than a second without crying!!! :)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Life in the basement is going well. We can hear when dad's are home upstairs by them walking around and I'm sure they can hear us below by us talking and our active children! :) We've been living here for now almost three weeks!
We keep going over to the house to work or get things we need. Mike and Matthew were over last night and busted out some walls. They were throwing a softball into the dry wall and then rip it away! :) Only the ones who love to play baseball would renovate this way! :))) The outside foundation walls got poured last week. Little by little things are getting done. I can't wait when they start with the actual house. So far it's been foundations and working around the house!
Here's our back porch and a place for me to fold laundry.
The living room ...
Before school started, the kids played and played with the Lego's!
Here is the bathroom, pantry, kitchen table and Matthew's room. :) All within a few feet from each other but it works great!
The children's room! The girls on the left and Matthew on the right. Austin still sleep in the bassinet by the kitchen.
Our room and Austin's crib for naps. I have him out of our room during the night so that I can sleep better without hearing every little grix. I can still easily hear him when he cries! Believe me we are not far from each other! :)))
Austin's changing table!!!
Our closet system! The moving boxes are still being used for skirts and long sleeve shirts.
We are ever so grateful to have such a nice place to live while we remodel!!! Many, many thanks to dad's for letting us live and move in for a few months!!! Our goal is to be back in the new home by Christmas!!!
I hope you enjoyed my little house tour. Come visit us!!! :)
