Ugh, with all that work moving boxes and climbing stairs in 90 degree heat, I still gained weight! Guess all that eating out didn't help. Only 4 pounds isn't so bad. Jeff and I are going to have to set a schedule so I can exercise. We don't have so many errands to run today so I'm planning to get out for a walk with the kids to explore the neighborhood. Maybe we'll hit the park too.
On the up side, the kids have already spent one hour reading for their Booka-wocky challenge! They click it off 10 minutes at a time. So proud of their hard work.
The house is coming together nicely. The living room is pretty much set up. Last night we built the new end tables and found the lamps....including their shades AND light bulbs. It was a productive night.

Do we have a babysitter?
Very busy day today! Jeff's back at work. It's all mom today. Our goal is to unpack 4-10 boxes each day. Ty's 2 yr birthday party is on Sunday and we would like to have things as organized as possible.
We stopped at the library, got cards for the kids and signed up for Bookawocky. Bookawocky is the library's summer program to keep kids reading. Every 5 hours they read, they get a prize. It's a great incentive to get them reading and keep them quiet during nap time. :-)
The kids got a tour of the new school. They'll be attending Five Hawks Elementary. Ms. Dawn was a very good tour guide and I think the kids will really like their school. It's much smaller with only 3-4 classrooms per grade. Of course there are something like 7 elementary schools in the area so each school can be small.
Ali's really thinking about stuff today. In the car she asked if we had a babysitter. The conversation goes like this:
Ali: Mom, do we have a babysitter yet?
Mom: No.
Ali: Well, I saw something on TV about babysitters online. You should go on the computer and get one. I don't know the address, and the commercial will never be on again, so you won't be able to do it.
Mom: OK, well was it care.com?
Ali: How did you know!
Mom: Would you like a babysitter from the internet that we've never met before and we don't know?
Ali: Ya mom, that would be fun!
Oh gosh. Advertising works!
