Another work week down

So we are through another work week.  When Bill gets home tonight we will have dinner and tomorrow Lexi and I will bake his birthday cake.  We are spending Sunday afternoon with his friend Jim and his family, eating lunch at Texas Roadhouse (yumm) for Bill's birthday.  Bill also called and said he has some days he has to take or he will lose them so he is taking next Friday off work. I hope the kids are healthy so that we can go do something fun for an afternoon (take Lexi out of school early).

So this week, we got a TV stand so that I could unpack the living room.  The TV was sitting on a tote before.  It looks nice.  I have one more box to take upstairs and then the living room will be cleaned and organized.  I am still struggling to find places for everything.  I thought this house was good sized but the storage here is horrible!  Our pantry is 1/2 the size, our cupboard space is 1/2 and our linen space is 1/2.  The bedroom closets are bigger which is good because the rooms are smaller so it gives me places to put the kids toys.

I kept Lexi home today.  She was really tired and cranky last night so I asked her if she wanted to spend the day at home or if she wanted to go to school.  She wanted to stay home.  I think that she feels left out since she started school.  I think she thinks that Nathan is getting all my attention all day while she is gone (even though that is far from the truth; I am spending most of my day unpacking).  But she is home and she has already played Wii, helped me put the movies/DVD's away and watched a little TV.  We will all be taking a nap here shortly and then when we wake up, her and I will play a few board games (while she did all her stuff, I unpacked another 4 boxes and put movies away).

It is still slow going but the house is coming along.  I don't see a light through the boxes in some of the rooms, but I will!  I promise!!!
