We have frantically been driving from Kmart to Sears to Lowes to Penny's to Target to Home Depot scratching off items from our never ending list. How did we ever survive in Utrecht, we can't leave the house without filling our car up. Of course, Utrecht was a furnished apartment, towels, pillows, sheets, kitchen supplies, it all add up.
Our house is pretty cute (pictures later). At first we were a bit annoyed because it was dirtier than we expected, even though the kitchen is recently remodeled - according to Jake there was a vat of grease under the burners. And the basement 'third bedroom' is well, generously called a bedroom. But the walls are not white, but nice shades of butter, green, yellow, and purple (elena's room). There is a yard filled with fire files. The house is a bit drafty with lots of screens that let bugs in.
Today Jake and I test drove two cars (subaru outback and chevy equinox) while Elena was at 'Camp Gram.' They went to kroger where elena got to 'drive the car' while eating grapes. The other big hit is the play ground.
We are progressing to a civilized life.
From eating on the floor
To eating take out at a table
To eating 'real food at a table. We even made hotdogs for 4th of July.
