The move

So we moved and are absolutely loving our new house. But HOLY MOLY, good gracious sakes alive. It was stressful. I like to think I can roll with the punches, but let me tell you. Moving with three 2 year olds was not something I ever wanna do again. Ever. 

So much to paint, move, unpack, organize. Shelves to line. Things to hang. And all of this either happened at 10pm well into the wee hours of the morning or with three monkeys following me around. One of them getting into evvverything. Breaking things. Hiding in boxes filled with fragile stuff. I won't mention any names. But I'm not saying that name isn't spelled SENA! 

A week into the new house all three girls got strep. I got the flu. We went on a three day camping trip and lance started a new job. Whew. It's been quite the month. However, I feel like the dust is starting to settle. Fewer and fewer boxes clutter my house each day and I'm starting to be able to turn my focus away from all things house related. I mean, I've got to clear space in my life to plan a frozen birthday party people. Elsa and Anna Agan have been waiting for this for months. MONTHS!

But we survived. No permanent damage to any family members and only minimal collateral damage caused by our wild Ethiopian babe. 

Ready to start April with nothing big on the horizon and just have one goal. Find a babysitter and go on a long date with Lance, eat lots of food and order dessert. The end. 

Crazy little monkeys enjoying their new favorite activity. Playing on the stairs. Nora told someone at church Sunday that she lives in a castle, in a "big giant house with lots of stairs and fancy things!" Gotta love the contentment of a child. A flight of stairs and 400 extra square feet and we live in a castle! ;)
