Home Sweet Home.................Well almost!

We have been officially living in our new house for a little over a week now.  I am slowly getting the rooms in the house set up.  Kyah's room was the first to be set up, which is really strange because she never really had a real room in the other house.  The next room I tackled was the kitchen/dinning room/living room area.  This room was actually kind of fun to do.  I don't know why, but I LOVE setting up kitchens.  I love the fact that I now have upper cabinets and that two of them have glass doors.  I put the dishes in one of them and food in the other.  Not only does it look cool, but it is total motivation to keep the dishes all washed and to keep the food cabinet organized!!  The next room I took on was Traiden's room.  If any of you know my son or my history with this room you know what a challenge that was!  It took working on it two different days and just really having the motivation to let toys go.  Even though I did get rid of some toys that he does like, I was basically done with most of them.  I can't forget the ducky bathroom!  The kids are so thrilled to have there own bathroom and won't even let Jesse or I use it. 

Here are the things I love about this house:
1-  Being able to microwave for more than 25 seconds at a time (no we couldn't do that at the old place)
2-  Having a dishwasher that isn't me and a garbage disposal
3-  The fact that two people can pee at the same time or shower at the same time
4-  Not having to park on the street
5-  Not living near crazy insane people who hand paint signs and nail them to trees and flip out on us saying we are stealing there internet and crashing their hard drives (if you think I am kidding, I am SO not!)

Here are the things I am not loving so much:
1-  The stairs down to the house are a little scary and impossible to see at night (we just got solar lights)
2-  There are 3 west facing windows so the house gets very hot during the day (bought insulated curtains)
3-  Natural gas stove! I have heard people love these, but man I die of heat while cooking!
4-  Tile tile every where, I first loved it! Not loving trying to keep it clean!
5-  The fact that I REALLY love this house and we are just renting and have to move again in a year!

I'm in BIG trouble!!

Traiden has now been in kindergarten for a total of three days.  I thought I was safe considering his class had mostly boys in it.  I was SO wrong!!  In the three days he has gone to school now he has came home with and told me about 3 different girl friends he has had.  The first day it was a girl with freckles all over her face, the second day it was a girl with glasses and allergies, and now today the girl with glasses wasn't at school so Traiden tried to get back together with the girl with freckles.  She didn't want to get back together with him so now his girlfriend is a girl with pigtails and a flower backpack!!  If this is how he is in kindergarten then I am dreading the middle school and high school years!  I am thinking I am going to have to find an all boys school or create one myself. 

Our life so far

Jesse and I recently moved to a new place.  It is a very nice house.  We upgraded from a two bedroom that we rigged to be a three bedroom one bath to a 3 bedroom 2 bath.  The new house has several things that we didn't have before.  First off we can park in a driveway and in 6 months we get the garage, a dishwasher, and beautiful tile throughout the house.  The neighborhood we live in is very nice.  We also live just a few houses away from the Shadow Mountain park.  Traiden is going to kindergarten at Sunset Elementary and started on Wednesday.  When I went to drop him off on the first day all of the other kids were a little nervous and asking their parents to go in with them.  I looked at Traiden and asked him if he needed me to go in with him.  He just looked at me and said 'Mommy you can go now!'  I know I should have been a little hurt about it, but really I was happy!  After all of the fits, crying, screaming, and yelling of dropping him off at preschool last year, I was more than happy that he was okay with going in himself.
