Weekend fun.

Our internet is up and running so I'm happy to be able to share with everyone what's been happening over the past week.

Friday...We signed the paperwork.  Which if you've ever bought a house and had a mortgage just wait until you buy one with no mortgage, fastest closing ever!  Then Friday night after the kids went to bed we went up to the new house with a load of stuff and cleaned.  Oh cleaning, it was "fun".  

Jerry unloaded the cars

I got the job of shampooing the upstairs carpets.

The carpets were totally gross, in the picture you can almost see the half that is done and the dirt on the other half.  It was a late night but we got a lot done and headed home for our big moving day on Saturday.

Saturday...we were up bright and early to get stuff moved.  The kids and I took a load to the new house and stayed there all day.  Actually now that I think about it I haven't been at our old house since early Saturday morning.  We had so much help from everyone and we couldn't have done it without our family and friends.  My dad helped, even though it was his birthday.  We also had help from Jerry's parents, Greg, Kristi and Chad.  Be feel truly blessed that everyone took time out of their busy day to help us move.  Here's some pictures I'd like to share from moving day.

Finding hardwood floors...makes me wonder if people were thinking when they covered them up.

The "boat" that was Zander's surprise for the new house.

Zander loves to sweep

Sunday...we were still moving stuff and we continued on construction work.  Kristi had spent the night which we all called "camping" and it was such a blessing that she was able to help out again TONS on Sunday.  Jerry's parents came up in the morning Sunday and stayed all day to help us.  We got to give the grand tour to Aunt Diane & Uncle Tom.  Seriously anyone is welcome to visit but just a warning the pictures are as they appear, the house is not in "great" condition yet.  Here's Sunday in pictures :)

The dining room, all the carpet gone and just small spots that need fixed in the hardwoods.

The kitchen that is getting demolished first

The mudroom...or for now storage of all our new stuff (bathtubs, tile, drywall)

Front porch...storage area for now

Our temporary kitchen while we remodel the downstairs one.  It's really this small

So needless to say Sunday night we were all very tired and went to bed early since Jerry had to go right back to work...no time off for that hard working man.
