Apartment Life

We are no longer homeless!! We moved in on Saturday to our cozy 2 bedroom apartment. It is slightly bigger than our Atascadero house and has an extra bathroom. It's an older apartment but has new carpet and paint. The kitchen and bathrooms are a bit dated but clean and functional. We have been filling it with basic furniture we bought from Craigslist and Walmart for dirt cheap (a will write a whole other blog on that)! We didn't want to haul our stuff cross country and don't want to spend a fortune on new furniture. It's a first floor apartment in a pretty large complex. We can hear the person above us walking sometimes but it's pretty quiet other than that. The boys are back on schedule and Josh and I have been staying up late unpacking and organizing. I made it to Strong National Museum of Play with the boys. It's the most amazing children's museum I have ever seen. You can check it out at http://www.strongmuseum.org/. The boys loved the little "ride on" train the best. I managed to shove my large body in a little kid's car and rode with them. They refused to get off and Ralph bolted in through the exit several times in an attempt to ride again. Yes, I was "that" mother with the out of control kids that day!! We had a nice Mother's Day in our new place. Josh went and got breakfast with the boys while I "slept in". OK, I might have already been woken up by the boys jumping on my air mattress to say good morning. I took advantage of the quiet time by staying in bed and reading an US Weekly magazine. Just as relaxing in my opinion! We unpacked and then went furniture shopping. The day was too short but I enjoyed spending the time with my husband and cute little boys.
