We have to be out of our apartment in 2 weeks. That means we have to move into our new house in less than 2 weeks...which also means there is A LOT to be done before that can happen. It's crunch time and everyone is feeling the pressure.

Here are some more updated pics. We now have neighbors knocking at our (always open) door. No, seriously, our doors are always open when we are there so people are popping in left and right to see the result of all the brick laying, floor staining, tile cutting, roof banging, wall painting chaos happening over there. I'm going to have to do a lot of baking once we move in as a peace offering. The neighbors we have met so far have been so nice and the ladies that came in today absolutely loved the house.

Here are a few pics I snapped of what they saw.

The house has passed the "can I run around in circles over and over again" test by Lane.

A very cluttered island.

Silly girl

Master bedroom (looking into the closets and bathroom)

Master bath vanity (wrong lights and faucets...they had to put something in for inspection and we're still waiting on the right ones)

Playroom

Kid's tub and shower. This would be why I haven't seen my husband all week.

Parker's new pink room. Much better!

More House

Are you getting sick of it? Well, this is the fun part! When you get to see all the stuff you picked come together. I promise I will blog about my kids soon. :-)

Lighting and countertops was the BIG news yesterday when we stopped at the house.

See, I told you lights were a big deal! Lane LOVES turning lights on and off and now that they are working in the new house he is so excited!

Cheese! She loves to say it when the camera's in her face.

Here's a cheeser for you too!

And another!

Just getting some measurements. That light they installed is actually supposed to be outside and I still need to pick a light for that space.

Still chaos over there, but with lights and counter tops it feels like a real home!

Nothing left to do

But....

paint the outside
paint the inside
pour the driveway
install appliances
finish installing a few built-ins
finish the crown molding on the cabinets
and a whole bunch of tile work
I'm sure there is so much more "behind the scenes" stuff that needs to be done, but it's not visible to me. :-)

Matt has been tiling in the kid's bathroom and the guest bathroom in the evenings and on the weekends. He's done tiling before so we figured we might save a little money by having him do some of the work. He'll also be doing the kitchen backsplash. Appliances are set to arrive on the 18th and if all goes as planned...we'll be moving in around the beginning of November!
