As most of you know, I've been looking for bunkbeds and dressers since we had to leave all of that behind in Pdx. Well, I've been religiously scouring craigslist and the classifieds and every furniture sale for over a month without any luck. I had actually decided that today I would go to Walmart or Sears and just buy a brand new bunkbed. But something prompted me to give it one last ditch effort, so I looked up garage sales, and decided to wake up early, get the kids ready and take a look at a couple of promising ads. Lo, and behold, the very first garage sale we pulled up to had TWO bunkbeds for sale, AND a dresser. Everything cost only $75. So, one bunkbed and one dresser down. Only two dressers to go and we'll be set.
Tomorrow, I'll finish painting the girls' room and then I'll post pictures. The Tinkerbell stickers worked out wonderfully. Kate and I had a lot of fun sticking them onto the wall. The only one that didn't work was the big grow chart. I think I need a smoother surface for it, so I think I'll try to hang it on the closet.
Our dining table got set up today. All of the toys are now unpacked, the games are on their shelf, all of the books are unpacked, all of the dishes, dish towels and pots/pans are unpacked and ready to go. The plumbers finished up yesterday, so we now have water. Hopefully the electrician will finish up by Monday, and we'll be able to move into the house.
Georgie is starting to play with toys. She likes Red Dog and the dalmation puppies. She's also fascinated with her toys, Mom's hair, Dad's sunglasses, Reggie's nose and Kate's mouth. So we all get poked, pulled and pinched in our turn.
