Finally Posting Some Pics of the House

OK- apparently getting internet in Boise is like.....well a non-windy day in the burg.....it's just hard to come by. (Sorry E-burgers- I had to throw that one in. That being said we MISS the burg and all of you so much!!!) Anyway after 2 weeks, an hour and a half on the phone, and several temper tantrums by me we now have the internet. I know some of you have been anxiously awaiting these photos (in fact Katie gave up waiting and drove on over here to see the house for herself! More about that another day but it was so great to have her and the girls for 5 nights!!!)but before you go any farther please look past the messes, clutter, things laying around. This move has been crazy trying to get everything unpacked and organized and we still aren't there. Several rooms will not be featured today but will eventually! And these aren't in the right order once again but anyway here you go:
This is the downstairs which is so great. There is an extra master bedroom down here so the lucky little girls have their own suite. We debated over and over how we would set this house up and ended up with Hailey and Karis sleeping together with H's stuff in one room and K's in the adjoining. We originally had them sleeping in their own room (their idea) but switched K's bed into H's room late the first night due to many tears and hysteria. Hailey informed us she would be ready to sleep by herself when she was a bigger girl- like 7. We'll see....
Also the downstairs has a craft room! Complete with counters and shelves. I am still working on setting that up so I haven't photographed it yet. And the common area is the girl's craft room and my work out area. I hope this isn't too confusing but I am trying to quickly do this.

Love that we have a much smaller yard here!! Scott's time mowing has been significantly reduced. He is thrilled with the water fall in the front and I am thrilled with our quiet neighbors behind us. We've met 3 or 4 families in the neighborhood and so far everyone is so friendly. I will do a post later of our great subdivision. Although we went on our first playdate yesterday and were there 5 minutes when Hailey threw up all over the couch and floor. It was so mortifying. They did say we could come back another day and she was really, really nice about it.

I am so thrilled to have central vac. Especially because this house has lots of stairs- 3 stories so lugging a vacuum up and down wouldn't be easy. I didn't mean to have it out for the photo though! This will also be the guest room- we are planning on putting a hide-a-bed in here.

The kitchen pictures are so dark- sorry. And I forgot to show the baking area with lots of shelves and big doors to cover the mixer and appliances. It is over by the laundry room which I also forgot to show.

LOVE This area- the girls can come in from the garage and put their stuff away and take off their shoes. Everyone has their own cubby for all the random stuff I find during the day. I put it there to be put away later. Even Scott and I have one.

Love that we have a fireplace now!!

We told the girls they weren't allowed in here. I tried to use my Kate Gosselin voice like she did when they got their new house: "Children who come in here will be severely punished". Unfortunately our girls just gave me a blank stare and ran in and jumped on the bed and turned on Noggin. I LOVE that we have noggin here- we went without for awhile but got direct TV here and it is so great!!! OK enough of this- you get an idea of the house and I will start blogging some more hopefully.
