Today is the Big Day!

Tonight we will have the keys to our new house in hand! Woohoo! Now I just need to say a prayer that it doesn't snow too much because I do not need the weather cancelling my closing! While I'm at it, it would be nice if we don't get snowed in tonight, because we have a lot of work to do over at the house this weekend!

Right now is the first moment I've had truly to myself in about 4 weeks. I'm used to getting a nice nap time, where even if Toby isn't sleeping, he is at least in his room while Lucy sleeps. But since we've been at Grandma and Grandpa's, I don't want him disturbing Lucy, so his "quiet time" has been hang out with mom time...but mom really needs a break in her day, so it's been driving me rather nuts! But today he was just at it more than usual, so I decided he needed a nap too. It didn't take too terrible long for him to fall asleep, and now the house is quiet.

Of course as I type that, the phone rang, so now I'm just hoping he didn't wake up!!!

We ran over to the house last night to check out the new radon system - it was installed yesterday. The driveway has been neglected since there has been no one there to shovel it, so it is now covered in chunks of ice. I visited my mom at work this morning to buy some rock salt - we're going to lay it on the driveway tonight in hopes it works some magic before tomorrow.

Toby's birthday is next week. I have a hard time believing he will be 4 soon! Of course, I've done nothing about photographs for his 4th birthday. We are having a Backyardigans party at the new house, with Grandpas and Grandmas. I wish I could do it up a little bigger, but there's no way I could invite over many people just a week after moving in! Hamburgers and hot dogs for the grandparents will have to do this year.

Toby's new thing is knock knock jokes. The current one is knock knock...who's there...woo...woohoo?...Don't get so excited, it's just a knock knock joke. LOL. He's a riot when he tells them too.

Curtis is liking his new job. Of course, we've been so busy hammering out details to close on our house, and he's been so busy just in-processing to his new job, that he really hasn't started learning the ropes of the job yet. As we settle in our new house though he will be settling into his new job.

I can't wait to get settled and start decorating. I never really took the time or energy to decorate our NC house, and always regretting not taking the time, so this summer I really want to put some little touches in, to really make it our home. I'm sure IKEA and garage sales/ auctions will be my best friend!

As of Monday, our stuff arrives. I am so excited to see my furniture again! But with that move to the new house, my internet train is ending for the time being. Ack, for someone who never used the internet until my latter high school days, I have become very dependant on it! Once our financial situation settles out a little we'll get it again, but I have to admit living with out the internet will need some adjustment! Isn't it funny how we become so reliant on technology so relatively fast? It will give me more time to decorate, unpack, and knit :) Now living without the DVR, that will be the true challenge :P As parents of young children, we've become completely reliant on that piece of technology!

Well, I'm going to enjoy a little internet surf time while the children take their blessed naps!!!
