The House

Here are photos of the house so far. I haven't finished unpacking the living room, office/loft, and master suite so no photos of those yet :)

Unpacking

Ok this is definitely the part of moving that I hate! I am so sick of unpacking this house. The size of our get rid of pile just amazes me! I am taking a new approach to it all as of tonight so we will see how that works out :) The good news is that the kitchen is 98% done and the kids rooms are about 95% done...just a few more items to put away in each. Now the Master Bedroom, Office and Living Room are another story :) Thankfully when it comes to the Master Bedroom, my closet is practically the size of a bedroom so I can shove alot in there for right now to be unpacked later this week, thus getting it out of my living room :)

PCS Journal Day #1

So today we FINALLY got to leave Minot...WOOT WOOT!! We decided to drive to St. Cloud and stop for the night. Since the drive is not to far we took our time and stopped a bit along the way. The kids were very excited to get to the hotel so that they could swim :) Tomorrow we are heading to Adam's parents to start loading all of my stuff in the trailer. However, we are first going to make a stop off at the Mall of America for a bit of shopping...oh wait, I can't even fit a can of pop in the van, how am I going to shop?? Well anyways, I am going to window shop at the Mall tomorrow :) Here are some photos of the kids in the pool. The Holiday Inn Express here in St Cloud has a main pool, a hot tub, and a kiddie pool, which is really nice to have!

Carter was very relaxed in his life jacket and spider man ring. He loved to just lay back and float around...not really into the whole working at swimming type of kid.


This was K's reaction when she learned it was time to head back to the room for the night. Gotta love it!

More relaxation in the pool.....

They managed to convince Adam that they needed this Shamu blow-up doll while we are at Toys R Us...I'll bet you can't guess who got stuck blowing it up though.....


Fun with Daddy...I love Kayla's creepy eyes :)
