We get our keys today!!
I'm so excited (!) that even though Simon is the only one awake (barely), I've been up for an hour and have made toast, bacon, an amazing fruit salad, and have the eggs all cracked and beat and ready to scramble. If I knew how to use the coffee maker here, I'd have done that too!
After feeding and watering the little people, we'll be dressed and out the door and heading to the notary to sign the papers AND GET THE KEYS! Peter will have to go back to work, so I'll get to re-explore the new house with the kids on my own. We have lunch planned with some good friends who very conveniently live only a few blocks away, which will get them the chance to see our place and it'll give the boys a chance to run. And at some point we need to get to Home Depot or another paint store to look at paint chips. Then tonight once Peter gets home, I'm going to head back to the house with just Eloise and paint all night.
That's the plan at least.
Wish us luck and pray that the house is as we remember it! Looking at 22 houses in two days, deciding on one, and making a offer ALL IN FOUR DAYS was a bit of a whirlwind!
So excited for you guys! Praying all goes well and that painting tonight goes really well, too. Can't wait to see pictures!
ReplyDeleteYeah!!!!!! Go for it!!!!! Anxious to see pictures and see what colors you paint. How exciting to actually get the keys!!!! Hugs, A. Dianne
ReplyDeleteHaha! Congrats, and for all your enthusiasm I get the feeling you'll have your entire house painted before we apply the brush to one room, and we've been in ours since June!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see pictures of it all set up with your stuff and new paint. Congratulations again on the new house!!! When are you planning on moving in?
ReplyDeleteThat last comment "Anonymous" was from Sara, by the way. :) Wish we could come out and help with mom in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I am so excited for you all... and totally inspired by your energy and enthusiasm. Looking forward to hearing/reading more!!! Hugs from Colombia.
ReplyDeleteExciting!!! Can't wait to see it in person! Hopefully we can talk on Skype this weekend. If you are painting all night, when are you sleeping????? Love, Mom/Mora/Nana
