moving sucks

yep, moving sucks.  We've had our fill of change. But it will be good, it will get better, we keep saying.

Now on the 3rd week of the Zoe and Finn having started school and they are finally not fighting me at every move towards getting out of the house and to school.  They both like school, are making friends.  Finneas is asking for a playdate with Kemper and Juna.  Zoe has had a play date with Maya, and an informal one with Juna and Eli when we met them at the TAMU Tailgate on Saturday.  The kids played in the fountain, of course Finn was thoroughly soaked by the time we left.

But to add to that fun, a week ago, we finally moved into  house and pulled everything out of storage and are trying to find places for it in a new 4 bedroom house.  Its funny how some things fit nicely, got room for others and not room for some.  I'm having a hard time making sense of the kitchen.. it will take iterations.  The art supplies seems to have tripled and I'm not sure how to find homes for it all.  With the help of my friend Carol, we were able to get the kids room pretty well set up, at least at a first pass.  Zoe's room is too pink, and we need to work on it. Walls are pretty blank, but that will be fixed soon.  The tail end of clothes ended up on the floor of the closet and I need to go fix that.

I guess I've been a little stressed.. yesterday Zoe touched Finn's player and spent a bunch of his jewels (not the first time) but I took away her player and told her she couldn't have it until the next day.  I must have yelled, I'm trying to stop..  At night she told me she wanted the "Old Canadian Mommy back".. I feel so bad.
