How's the house?: The boys approve!

I've got TONS of pictures for today's blog. The change on the house has been amazing in the past week. As my last blog mentioned, the fast forward button is on.

Here is last Sunday:

Here is this Sunday:

Chris took the guys some coffee and Dunkin Donuts on Friday. It ended up being a chilly day and they really appreciated it. We both stopped by at lunch to see the house and all the guys waved as we pulled up. Chris is there at least twice a day so they know him well. :)

Since we actually have a house with walls (but nothing that can get messed up yet) we decided to take the boys with us to see the house. They had so much fun!! When we first let them off the leash they decided to run from in the house to the backyard over and over again. However, you would think they would have used the screened porch opening. Nope . . . they jumped through the windows like they were on an agility course. I tried to get a picture but they were too quick for me. I started taking a video and then they ran off up the stairs. Cooper LOVED the stairs. He went up and down and up and down and up and down. We have already decided that we must purchase a baby gate to keep him off the stairs when we move in.

Here is a video that I took.

This week we made a big purchase! We bought the china cabinet for the dining room. I have never been one that wanted a china cabinet but I really love it. It is our favorite piece of furniture right now! The great thing about this purchase is that we got it from a family that was moving and could not take it with them. We got a good deal on it and it matches the table we bought a few weeks ago from another Craigslist hunt. From that purchase we had the table and 6 regular chairs but no arm chairs. This guy was selling the matching china cabinet, 4 arm chairs, another table, and two white chairs. We didn't need it all but decided to buy it all since it was a good deal. Now we have seating for 10 in the dining room. I'm going to put the two white chairs in my office and we are selling the extra table. So if you are looking for a nice dining room table (no chairs included) . . . Let me know!!

I think we have reached capacity for new things in the apartment right now. We are tripping over each other, furniture and chairs. However, we spent most of Sunday looking at furniture, TVs and appliances. We are going to try to get some black friday deals with some stores that will delay delivery until late January.

Here are the pictures I mentioned at the beginning of the blog.

Cooper says, "Welcome to our house"

Here are the pictures of the front of the house. (Garage, Guest Bedrooms, Office, and Guest Bathroom)
Here is the Garage:

Here is the Guest Bathroom (downstairs).

Here is Guestbedroom 1.

Here is Guestbedroom 2

One of the reasons I fell in love with this floor plan . . . all the arches. This is the front foyer as you walk in the door.

The office which is immediately to your left when you walk in the front door.

Next is the Dining Room, Kitchen, Foyer, and Living Room. Most two story houses have a foyer on each floor. Since our house is all first floor with the exception of the bonus room, we have two foyers downstairs due to how spread out the house is. I felt like I needed to say that because saying the 2nd foyer sounds so hoity toity! Here is the 2nd foyer. (that door is the coat closet) The window you see in the back is the office. I took this picture while standing in the kitchen.
