For those of you who don't know, we are big fans of Little House on the Prarie.... and we are certainly getting our fill of that life this year. But truly, our house is really great and we are settling in quite well. I'm not sure if my internet connection will allow me to post pictures, but I'm going to give it a shot. I will send another post soon with pictures of the our room, kitchen, school area, porch & view.

| Little Man has the top bunk which we tarped off to give him some space from all the estrogen. The bottom bunk is his "lego table". |

| Little Monkey's bed & play area in kids room. And for those of you who prayed for a wall.... there it is along with a door leading to our room next to the toy shelf. |

| I never thought I would be so thankful for 5-gallon buckets & a box built toilet. We do have a shower with cold water. Mark is brave, but the kids & I opt to bathe in a rubbermaid box with water heated on the stove. |
I am having to get used to a few things: creepy, crawly critters-- I don't like them in any shape or form. At 2 am last night, we made a discovery of an ant infestation under our mattress--yuck!!!
I am also having to get used to having a "bath day" as well as "laundry day". Bathing my family is an all morning affair...very much like Little House. And as I learned yesterday, if any school is to be accomplished, bath day & laundry day should not take place on the same day.
Looks like you have worked hard to make it a home. Miss you all!
ReplyDeleteJust have to say "WOW" Katie. You are one organized Mom! What a blessing that you have been able to seem such a small and distant place feel like home. I am praying for you!
