New House Update

Well, we had our house inspection completed yesterday. The house is fine. Subjects were removed today so…we will be the proud owners of a new beautiful house on April 1st…no joke!

I took a few pics of the interior yesterday so that I could figure out which areas need painting the most and also what we might need for extra furniture. Tim LOVES that I’m doing this!

I just wanted to add a few views that aren’t on the Coldwell Banker website for family to see if you are interested. These are pictures of the back area on the bottom floor looking out kitchen/patio windows as well as the view towards the front of the house. The RED curved wall is going to be painted a different colour. Colour choices in this place are ALMOST as bad as in our current house. Dad’s coming in April to remedy this problem YAY!

So Edzèa ate a crayon yesterday while I was visiting Tracey for a playdate. It seems that Markham put the crayons into the toy box, Edzèa, found a blue one-it’s a beginner crayon which looks like a round plastic toy and she thought it was quite tasty. The only reason I noticed was that I saw blue around her lips and kind of panicked. Tracey then saw what it was and said it was one of Mackenzie’s non-toxic crayons. Well, today, I found pieces of blue wax in her diaper and she is none the worse for wear. I have to watch her like a hawk right now with anything she finds on the floor etc. She tries it all out. Our floors have to stay SUPER clean because of this!!!

So, I had a quote done on packing/moving us within Yellowknife. $5300. It cost the school $4500 to move me up here 5 years ago. So, it looks like I start packing as soon as I can collect boxes from the stores. I will have to get another quote from movers just for moving. The company I used said it would cost $2500 just for moving. It cost us $700 when we moved here from Ravenscourt. I know that we’ve accumulated more things but that seems outrageous!!! I need someone to come and babysit for a few days straight so that I can pack…hint hint!!!

Well, finally Edzèa is sleeping well for me tonight so I’m going to take this opportunity to read and relax. Tomorrow we get to FINALLY go the Family Centre in the morning and then I’m having some moms/babies over here for a playdate in the afternoon.

Hope you enjoy the pic of Daddy and Edzèa at bedtime. Nice legs!! This is Tim’s new way of getting out of ever having to do dishes. The baby monitor gets really quiet and I pop in and find the two of them snoozing every night. He started this routine a few weeks ago and seems to like it! One night we had Allan coming to babysit and we were waiting and waiting and waiting for Tim and then I realized he must have fallen asleep. We were a bit late for our movie!!!
