Let me give you a recap of what our first few weeks in our new was like... Please excuse the photos they are taken on my iPhone.
Thursday 25th // We close on our house! Yay! Drove Cole to school and hung out at the our new park until we could go meet with the carpet and floor guy to measure so we can purchase our new floors($$$). IT'S HOT! No AC in August in Florida is no joke. Cleaned all day while trying to entertain a 3month old and 3 year old. James called after he got of work about 530. He was going to stop by the hotel and change then come over. Still cleaning, sweating, entertaining... 6:45 rolls around James still isn't here. Finally leave the house to pick up Cole from band practice at school. Get back to the house and James is there. Hello Florida traffic! 2 hours to get home from work stop at the hotel and change. I am so done being at the house all day and its past dinner time. We set off bug foggers and left. Got fast food again...Went back to sleep at the hotel.
Friday 26th // Drove Cole to school. went to the house to open all windows. Then went to Target and Lowes to purchase cleaning supplies. (cha ching $$$$) Started cleaning. Called the Plummer, Electrician and HVAC guys to schedule appointment to fix broken stuff. Left for lunch. Back to the house cleaned more. Left to pick up Cole for School. Yay, I have a sitter.
