Our first week and weekend in our new home xXx

Our first week and weekend in our new home xXx

 

 

Our first walk to school across the football pitches with us now being local residents!!

 

Colin and I went into Amy's class to help them make play doh brains and this was Amy's effort!!

 

Our weekend antics xx

 

Amy chilling in front of the TV, with the TV being our only piece of furniture in the living room!!

Can't wait for the sofa to arrive tomorrow!!!

 

Colin is trying to get us set up for Saturday night movie night.

 

The football pitches across the road are so busy it is lovely to see the place come alive with lots of juniors playing football matches.

 

Amy and I had some girlie time and made some cupcakes whilst Colin went outside to do some gardening!!  The garden certainly needs some TLC as it was an old couple that lived in the house before our landlord bought the property to lease out!

 

Oh yeah licking the bowl, you chocoholic!!

 

 

Mmmmmm they look and smell delicious, yummy!  I wonder where the one missing has gone!!

 

Oh yeah in our tummies fresh out of the oven, oh yeah!!

The heart sign says it all Amy, too true they are scrummy yummy!!

 

 

It is the no frills local time and UK time clocks, they are normally showcased a bit fancier than my efforts but it does the job!!

 

Amy all ready for movie night.  We had a library DVD all set but then we realised that it was Region 4 and our Laptop is set for Region 2, oh dear but never mind we watched Frozen from iTunes.  The sound from the TV and sound bar was excellent, happy campers!!!

 

 

It has certainly been a while since we had Sunday morning pancakes, yummy!!!

 

Here is Colly re-using the water from the bath to water the garden.  The bath is smaller than UK sizes but it certainly took a few trips to empty the bath!!  Good bit of exercise for you ha ha!!

 

Look out here is our furniture arriving, all excited!!!! 

Cartwheels on the grass time ha ha or maybe not!!!

 

 

 

 

Here we go boxes and boxes and boxes galore!!

 

Amy ran and got Jemima to show her the furniture coming in!!

Amy's room just missing the bed and wardrobe!!

 

 

First job was for Amy's bed to be made hooray!!  Amy's wardrobe is still on order but her things are hung up in our walk-in wardrobe

 

 

Next was the sofa!!

 

Sofa sorted, looks great and is sooooo comfy!!  But anything would be comfortable after our movie night sitting on the floor last night :o)

 

Our coffee table which has turned into the TV unit until the TV unit arrives in a few weeks!

 

Our dining room table will remain in the boxes until the chairs arrive so Amy can carry on using the dining room as a Hula Hooping playground.  Amy can now Hula Hoop for over 10 minutes, WOW!!!

 

 

First seat on the sofa, Amy reading her book and Jemima having a snooze just hope Jemima doesn't drool on the NEW Sofa ha ha!!

 

 

Our bedroom with our mattress put on its side to make way for the furniture!!

 

Oooooooh our bed being made up!!  The assistant has been helping at times!!

 

 

Thankfully the units came pre-built so it was a case of lifting them out of the boxes that was a real stroke of luck!!  We love our new furniture!!

 

 

And as with all children the boxes have turned into a playground ha ha!!

Amy made a box into a little house so here she is back reading again with her design of polystyrene on the walls of the box!!  Roald Dahl is her favourite author at the moment along with Enid Blyton's Famous Five Adventures.  Great seeing all the books that I read as a child still being enjoyed, bringing back great memories!!
