We FINALLY moved in!

We moved in this past Sunday and it's wonderful to finally be in the house full time!  Charlie has been working like a mad man getting the downstairs bathroom finished so that we could make the move. It's amazing how many details there are to each process in the building of these rooms---of course everything takes longer than you think.  The bathroom turned out beautifully and now Charlie will move onto the kitchen and mud room.  The kids are working at setting up their rooms...they were responsible for spackling, sanding, and painting their own rooms. There are pictures in the slide show of Audrey and Madi's rooms.  Our pets love the house and while they are only your standard house pets (one dog and two cats), they are loving being there.  While my post sounds a bit rosy, there have been plenty of "not so rosy" moments.  Wondering how to fit clothes and linen into a house with no closets is not so much fun; having to do dishes in the tub because there is no kitchen sink is a bit arduous; six people jockying for the one available shower is trying; finding out more outlets don't work than do work is more than frustrating; and knowing it might be a couple of weeks before I can do laundry at  the house makes me sigh.....  On a brighter note, Charlie's mom loves her room and spends time on the front porch rocker almost every day! 

I haven't mentioned ghosts in the house for a while sooooooo:  Madi swore there was a ghost in her room the other night.  She said she was sleeping on her stomach and she felt something push on her back just once.  When she raised up to look, there was no one there.  I had to remind her of our cat that looks more like a Bobcat and almost hurts you when he lands on you due to his weight.  She realized right away it was the cat because he'd done it before...but I think she really is convinced there are ghosts in our house!!!
