Seeing the grime.

Hello! Well, we are finally moved into our own house. It's been a very busy couple of weeks. We painted the entire main level of the house and had new carpet put in too. And after being in the house for a few weeks while painting, we learned just how filthy it was. Luckily my mom did most of the dirty work while we got set up in the new house. It's only been a week since we officially moved in, but we are able to function now on the main floor. The basement still needs a good scrub down. Beware of the pictures...they still make me want to gag.


A before look at inside the oven. Luckily the self-cleaning portion of it worked good. There aren't any after pictures, but it now sparkles and I don't hesitate to bake things in it.



This is a before look at part of the oven. Yes, that is dog hair combined with grease and grime. GROSS!



My mom spent many late nights with her Lestoil and toothpicks. Thanks for doing the dirty work for me Mom.



Olivia not only got a new bedroom, but also a new coop car.



Carter loves the coop car too.



It was an exhausting move for Olivia. She fell asleep in my mom's arms on the couch at 6:30pm and slept through the night. She even slept through getting her pajama's on.



Carter has discoved a little jungle gym, right in our own dining room.



Olivia's first twinkie. She dug out the filling from all three holes and left the cake for the garbage.



Carter snoozing on the couch.



We got out of the house yesterday and had some fun at a birthday party for our friend, Dylan.



Hello big toe.



My handsome dudes.



Olivia loved the paint boards at the party.



Once the other children left the moon bounce, Olivia loved bouncing around in it.



Carter and Mommy did too.
