unpacking, unpacking, unpacking

Boy have we had a busy couple days! We found out on saturday we could move into our house a day early so first thing monday morning Warren and i went to sign papers for the house, got the key and started moving in. Warren and his buddy moved as much furniture as they could in about 2 hrs then went off to work for the afternoon. I had two extra kids with me that day so we made a couple trips back and forth between our new house and the old house to get as much as i could in my jeep with 4 kids... which wasn't much! but it worked. We got all of our stuff from storage cleared out yesterday which is awesome! But now my garage is FULL of boxes, and i will have practically no help from Warren because he will be working. So Landen has been a lot of help and has enjoyed his new house. He LOVES being able to go outside all by himself and have the freedom of a huge house to play in! He loves his room and i am really exicted to start decorating the kids room. It's funny how the little things you really take for granted... like CLOSETS! Its so wonderful for the kids to have a closet! I don't how i ever managed without it!!

Warren went to work for the first time on monday night and in just about 2 hours did really well. He has a couple potentials that he just needs to go back to but he seems to enjoy it already. He gets really fustrated sometimes when people won't sign up because it could save them quite a bit of money so its funny to watch him talk about it when he gets home. Oh the stories already! :-)

As for Kaylee, she has a really bad ear infection and had to be on meds. Our first night at the new house i think the kids and us slept a total of 2 hrs. Kaylee was up all night sick and Landen's asthma was really bad. He had 2 asthma attacks and was coughing so bad he would gag himself. We have decided he has "allergy induced asthma" now instead of "exercise induced asthma". Poor kids, and after a long day of moving... pooor us! But i got them into the dr the next morning, got some "feel better treats" and they slept MUCH better the next night!

Last night after another long day of packing and unpacking i took a long hot bath, got into bed and crashed! Warren and i both have our fair share of battle wounds from moving and i'm sure its not about to end there!

Anyway, we are definately enjoying our new house! I absolutely love it and would totally be content staying there forever! Its beautiful, it's practical, it's exactly what we need! I am so exicted to start unpacking and going through everything that's been in storage for almost 2 years! We didn't even know how the stuff we had!! So it'll be a fun few weeks!
