1900 House - Day 6

Has it been 6 days? Really? One week ago was the last night in our previous home, really?

Wow! The week really speeds by when you're covered in ick!

Our belongings arrived at the 1900 House on Monday, and I've spent Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and today cleaning before I unpack. So far, I've de-ickified the kitchen, the downstairs bathroom, and the foyer. Those rooms feel better already. I'll post pictures next week, or so, but I've promised myself to finish cleaning before I take pictures.

Hopefully tomorrow, after church, I'll finish the living room and the formal dining room/school room. Then the first flood will be done and I can attack the bedrooms.

So for the next couple of weeks, this will be me:

I should let you know that we've done a few other things this week as well. I'm trying to make this a fun experience for the boys. I don't want them to look back on the move and only remember me looking like this:

and screaming, "Find something to do by yourselves! I'm cleaning here!"

We've gone to the library several times. We've visited a couple of parks. We signed up for the YMCA and have started swim lessons already. And this morning Braden and Brogan participated in a swim meet in a neighboring town. It was Brogan's very first real meet! No one broke any speed records, but we had fun.

Okay, I've got to get back to work. Please leave comments! You've no idea how excited I get when I see them in my inbox!
