It's official - she's ours! We knocked out signing papers at the closing in 30 minutes and then raced up to the house. The appliance delivery folks were so kind to wait 45 minutes for us to get there in exchange for a case of beer. Small price to pay to have a fridge and dishwasher on day one. We stocked it right away with the essentials...
We spent the day cleaning and tackling projects and getting deliveries and installs. Brian's dad drove up from Iowa to help us out all weekend. My parents picked E up from daycare and we had a pizza picnic on the floor and then worked late into the night.
We spent all day Friday on cleaning and projects as well. Brian's dad was such a huge help with plumbing and electrical projects! My mom and I spent 3 hours working on the walls in the bonus room using pure ammonia, scrappers, and lots of elbow grease to get all of the stickers off the wall. Note to self - no child of mine will ever be allowed to put stickers all over the walls or use glue to hang pictures/posters - what a disaster! Most of the walls in the house are in bad shape but we're going to live with it for a while until we have a better idea how we want to decorate before painting. The yard is in embarrassingly bad shape with so little rain this summer but its so late in the season we figured it's a lost cause until Spring. Heres hoping for an early snow to cover it up ;)
