The "den" and kitchen after we first unloaded
The kitchen now! The one room that is completely unpacked and somewhat decorated (and my favorite room in the house). The den unfortunatly looks about the same, save for the computer that is hooked up and tucked between the stacks of boxes.
Curly and Lou on the first day of preschool. Lou was just as excited as Curly and very disappointed to discover that just Curly went to preschool
Fisher has had continuing education classes last Saturday and Sunday and this weekend too. So, we have been doing lots of projects on Saturday and Sunday to keep busy... Last week we made these "Princess Pumpkins" then put on pajamas, made popcorn, and looked at pictures (which did not help with homesickness)
Yesterday, we found this cute craft idea on Family Fun. They are little pumpkins made from egg cartons. The girls loved painting them and choosing the face.
We also went to IKEA yesterday morning to get a book shelf and a few other things to get organized. I should have known better than to go there on a Saturday with two kids... it was crazy, but I ended up with most things on our list and it even fit in the car. I was so excited to put the shelf together when we got home and finish unpacking the living room. I opened the box AND it was the wrong color! I was so annoyed because I had double checked the pile I was getting it from several times (the boxes aren't labeled). I should have opened it before driving 45 minutes back home! The highlight of the day was attending the Relief Society Broadcast. I feel so grateful to my friend's husband (The Shepards) who watched the girls until Fisher came home so that I could attend the whole meeting. I particularly felt inspired and motivated by President Eyring's words. After the conference, our stake had it's traditional "Fondue Frenzy". Oh so delicious and the company was equally great. I met several new sisters in our ward and stake.
Other highlights of the week - two playdates (one at a friends and the other at the fountain), a trip to the library, and A DATE WITH FISHER. We hadn't been out for months, so arranged for a babysitter and (thanks to the generous gift card from our realtor) had dinner at PF Changs then went to Home Depot to plan and price our garden.

Yay! So fun to get an update. Your kitchen looks terrific - I'm so happy for you.
Your kitchen looks so nice! Thanks for the update. It was fun to talk to you the other day. I thought of you tonight as I was making chocolate chip cookies with LC and chunky chicken. I can't believe Curly is in school now. Cute cute! Love you.
Wrong color! Ahh...45 min. How frustrating. Your kitchen looks great and you are doing so many fun things with your family & making new friends. We miss you all.
Your kitchen is gorgeous! How beautiful! And what a size difference for you. :) I hope you're having tons of fun cooking in there and being the domestic queen!--or at least that you will once you get more settled. We miss you out here in DC. Nikki, K-Rae and I made Sally's chocolate chip cookies last night and we used baking soda that you had given to Nikki when you left the area last year... it was a special moment! Love ya!
