Making a House a Home - Part 2

Part 2 of the move was to paint and get ready for some new furniture. After we closed Charlie and MIL headed out to Home Depot to get some paint. We really loved how the house was painted with the exception of the Master Bedroom. So we chose our paint color and they went to work. Interestingly we ended up choosing the same color we painted David's nursery from our Philly house!



I took the boys out for a ride to drop my Mom off, since she came to watch the boys while we signed all the papers. We figured it would make the painting go much smoother (and FASTER!) if the boys weren't around to "help"! Before getting back to the house I picked up a few necessities at our new Target (only a 10 minute drive!), in fact all of the shopping is 10 minutes away! It's actually quite convenient! Anyway, since the painting was a much bigger project than expected I decided to let the boys have a little fun in the big bathtub!



The boys had a blast and even though I didn't use that much soap; the jets made the whole tub fill with bubbles.


It was getting late and I had to be back bright and early the next morning so that I could be here for our first furniture delivery; this one from Jordan's! We're hoping that a member of the Sox hits the sign so we can get it all for free! But if they don't (and odds are they won't!) we still get a voucher for 20% total purchase to use towards a future purchase! It will come in handy this fall when it's time to buy Evan his bedroom set and a nice new desk for our office!

The Couch, Love Seat and Chair for the Great Room:


FINALLY! A KING sized bed!!!!!


The boys bedroom sets. Evan will eventually get the same one too!




The furniture ended up being delivered early and they were waiting for me! It was nice to not have to sit around for four hours and wait. So after they were set up the boys and I headed back to Revere for our last night! The boys arrived home and were surprised by what they saw, because while we were at the new house the Doc was with the movers, who packed all of our stuff into boxes. And with all of our stuff in boxes; that didn't leave much for us to do at home so we drove out to the mall to walk around. We picked up some hot dogs and ice cream at Hot Diggity for our last meal in Revere and then it was off to bed because it was going to be another early morning and another LONG, LONG day! To be continued...again...
