Couples Bunko!

Tonight Travis and I hosted couples bunko at our house. We usually miss couples bunko because it's in December and we're traveling. So I was so excited to get to participate this year since we did it early. It's so different and so much fun with the guys around...they are so competitive! Maggie and Tucker loved having everyone here. Maggie was convinced she was going to play along with us or at least get some snacks off the tables! We also had a potluck with waaay too much food! I think this had to be my favorite bunko ever! By the way I've found a calculator and a small yellow bowl. Let me know if one of these is yours!

Fox Meadow Open House

Tonight was our open house. Our theme this year is "respect unites". It's a 60's theme so all the hallways and doors were decorated in tie dye and hippies. They also blared groovy tunes the entire time. I love open house...the kiddos are soooo excited about school. I had several kiddos ask me if they could start school tomorrow! Here is a pic of my hallway/door decorations, the awesome first grade teachers ( I love those girls), and my school supply covered desk.

My Engineer

My hubbie was destined to be an engineer. Everything he creates is well thought out and carefully designed. He created these hidden storage compartments on either side of the fireplace. One side holds all our dvds and video games. The other holds all our components like our cable box, video game systems, etc.

A loooong day...

Today was our first day back for training. I put in almost a 12 hour day. After our meetings I stayed behind and worked in my room for awhile...Travis came to help me thankfully. I'm exhausted and I'm sure I'll turn in early today!

It's official...we're finished!

We have unpacked every single box & tub, put every last thing away, and cleaned every single surface in this house! There are no more piles of random things, no more clutter! We stayed up until 2am last night getting everything done...we're so tired of all the mess. Tired of living in transition. So now we have the inside of the house done. We still have a little bit of stuff that needs organized in the garage. We have landscaping to do and to finish the retaining wall. But it feels so good to just relax and not have to worry about getting it all done! Oh wait...my classroom is still not ready for open house...Well almost relax! Here are a few pics of the living room.

Breakfast Nook...finished!

The breakfast nook is emptied and cleaned! Maybe we can actually use it now! :)

Some real progress!

We've finally got our front bedroom cleaned completely out. It was the room that we piled everything in until it got unpacked. We're not going to put anything in it at all. We're planning on some kiddos in the near future and we've reserved this room for a future nursery!

A Love Affair...

I LOVE my Dyson hardwood attachment. I ordered it online and love,love,love it! It really does a great job of picking up dog hair, sawdust, grass, etc. I still haven't quite figured the best way to clean (mop) the hardwood floors yet. Any suggestions???

Spare Bathroom

Here are a few pics of the spare bathroom...

Dining Room

Here are a few pics of the finished dining room! It's hard to get a picture of it so I had to take several from different angles. We're still slowly getting each room completed and cleaned.
