Easter

It's Moving Day!

Ok, so we can't really move in one day.  Really we are on like day 8 of the longest move ever.  I was all set to start about two weeks ago but then I had some random flu like bug that knocked me on my butt for an entire week.  I missed work, Wicked, days of moving with no children "helpers", and the Shamrock Run.  BOOO!

I tried to do a "re-do" the next week and got some stuff packed up at the old house but it sure takes longer than I would expect it too.  This weekend we did the big move to the new house and have been busy unpacking all our stuff.  We're still not living there yet though.  I need 2 more days to move stuff over and then I could live there, but the chances of that happening during a work week are slim to none.  So hopefully by the end of this coming weekend we will be living there.  In the meantime, here's some updated pictures.  BEFORE we moved stuff in....right now it's looking a little worse for ware and totally messy.  No one wants to see that stuff!! 

Family Room.  Big giganto TV now sits above the fireplace.  Not my fav.

Guest Bath.  We pained the mirror.  Yeah for H+A teamwork!

Testing out the basement floors.  I think Chloe is scratching her bum...ew

Dining Room

Emily testing out her room

She loves it!

Ellery does too!

We have tooo much stuff!

 And just because they are cute, here are some pics of my little ladies.  So grown up now at 4 years old.  You should hear the funny things they say.

They love sitting in these stacked chairs.  "Queen Ellery" is giving her servant orders.  

The End is Near!

This monster remodel is just about finished.  By the time we are done and ready to move it will have taken us almost 5 months.  I guess that isn't too bad when almost everything was touched and rebuilt.  

Almost finished kitchen.  Backsplash is now installed

Emily's room with installed closet doors

Ellery's pink and grey room with new carpet

New table with the new light fixture. 

The light fixture came all tied up in tons of plastic baggies.

After taking each string out of the baggie I had to attache 80+ crystal balls

It was so wort the blisters on my hands!

Bar in kitchen.  We used old floor planks from our first house we built.  Funny how it ties into our new stuff.

The E's bathroom

Master Bed with carpet

Almost finished

Stained Hardwoods

 Hopefully in another week or so we should be ready to move in.  (Andy would say in a day or so...I say week!)
