We're all moved in!
Well, technically we moved in last weekend, but I have some silly unpacking methods so the house only became livable this weekend. I like to open all the boxes and put everything in the center of the room that it belongs in, and then just set things up from there, mostly because I hate boxes and I want to get rid of them as soon as possible.
So after an entire day full of unpacking and putting things in piles on the floor of various rooms, it was finally time to start organizing. I couldn't decide where to start, I mean, so many rooms! While I debated the pros and cons of each room, we ordered pizza and put the kids to bed (in sleeping bags, of course) early. Like, at 6 pm. They were tired, it was fine.
So we decided to start with the garage. I decided (and here we blame pregnancy brain, very little good logic) that if we finished inside the house I'd be so tired that I'd procrastinate organizing the garage, and then it would be very hot and I'd be very pregnant and the neighbours would think we were slobs. So yeah. Instead we turned on the garage lights and organized that sucker until 3 am. Nick made his whole section of built-ins come together and he hung up all of his tools and we cleaned everything and he hung our bikes up and I remembered to leave a designated place for the stroller. Big deal, I know. But anyways, our garage now looks perfect, so the neighbours will like us, right? Right. So that was our Sunday night.
Nick had last week off of work, so of course he slept until the kids came home from school and I got up around noon. It was wonderful, and it was what the baby wanted. It's all the baby's fault. So I decided to organize the master bathroom, and it went by so quickly that I organized the half bath and the first-floor bathrooms as well. The kids got home as I started to organize the kitchen so I sent them to Nick and he took the easy was out and got them in their swimsuits and threw a few floaties at them in the pool. They had a blast, and NIck set up our new patio furniture. Win-win. I organized the kitchen for the rest of the night, and we ordered in chinese, put the kids to bed early, and then kept organizing the kitchen. It was done around 11 and we went straight to bed. Well, to our sleeping bags
