Chaos

We have to be out of our house by Sept 29. We got the keys to the new house Sept 2 and began the work. The kitchen is currently empty..... I mean echo empty. zip, zilch nada, just a room. The bathroom will be that way after tomorrow.
Uncle Bob and Aunt Chris worked at the house for two days and got the ceilings painted and the rooms taped so our friends who are kind enough to help at our house can paint on Saturday. Then the carpet needs ripped out...... OY!
I can't help since I need to be with the kids, but I did manage to paint a closet and get a coat on one of the walls in the kids room.
I have no idea how this will all get done in time....and oh yeah, we have to pack our current house.

The kids are awesome. Nolan is laughing out loud, big, long laughs. He just started that. Reagan gives chuckles, but no laughs yet. She is trying to talk more and more and Nolan, well Nolan is a ham. He will talk, giggle, laugh all day. They are not the best nappers, but we are trying. It is hard with them being pulled between two houses and Grammy's, but they are doing the best they can.

We spent 7 hours INSIDE ikea last weekend and, for the most part, they were angels. Mommy and Daddy got more cranky than the kids, but it was a long day for all of us. We have to stop and remember that we are each stressed for different reasons. I feel like a single parent these days and Bill has the weight of the world on his shoulders worrying that his family will have a place to live!
