It's been too long since I've blogged. Boy, do we have a lot to tell. I can't find my camera to upload pictures, but will hopefully find it this week. February was crazy...we took the plunge (and what a plunge it's turned out to be) and bought a house. Glad to have our own space, but it seems like all that could go wrong has happened in the first 2 weeks we've lived here.....We got the crud, strep throat, coughing, etc. Pants missed school, daycare and a few nights of activities, Dad got to relax in the sunshine while Pants and I tried to unpack, keep the water out of the basement, fix a sink, pick shingle colors out for a new roof, shovel snow, fix a clogged drier vent, go on 400 trips to Lowe's and Menard's....you get the picture.
Needless to say, we are READY for spring....although it will consist of a lot of raking and re-grading around the house, it is ours and we can fix what needs to be fixed the right way and know that it will last. That is one thing we are excited about....lots of $$$ but at least we know it will pay for itself in the long run. A safe, warm, beautiful home that we can be proud of.
Pants has been growing like a weed. We had Kindergarten round up a week ago and she is super excited to go all day and ride the bus! I am pretty sure Nana will take that day off and worry about her the entire 8 hours she is gone :)
She also moved up to the next level in gymnastics, which we are so proud of her for!! She wants to start swimming lessons, but we need to get the dance recital out of the way first. Pants also has a nice new swing set/playground in the back yard as well that she is excited to use. This is the first time we've had a yard and anything for her to do outside since we've had her. Sad, but it's also made purchasing this place worth it for her happiness. We are looking forward to lots of summers of grilling out, having fires and s'mores with family and friends!!
