First week

So we have lived at our new house for a week now. We are completely unpacked and can really start to enjoy ourselves. The girls have been playing in the yard and in their playroom by themselves for the last week while Jason worked and I diligently unpacked everything. Sofia made me feel good about all the work I have been doing when we had the following conversation:

Sofia: "Mommy you do a LOT of work and daddy doesn't."
Me: "Daddy works sweetie. He is at the office right now."
Sofia: "Yeah but daddy just sits at a computer all day making money but you do a LOT of work that takes a lot of muscle. It is hard work."
Me: "Well...."

It just made me laugh and Jason got a laugh out of it too when he got home. Anyway, the girls have had a lot of fun playing in the yard. They play in their sandbox and under the trees, in the flower bed...basically everywhere. Their imaginations are amazing. My friend, Joanna, came over on Friday with her daughter. The kids had fun playing and I it was nice to catch up with Joanna since we hadn't seen each other in a while. My friend, Julie, and her girls also came over Friday afternoon. Sofia and Ali were excited to have them over since Julie was the nursery teacher for both and her daughters are "big kids" which my children love. We broke out the sprinkler and the girls had fun playing with Julie's daughters since it was warm and we hadn't quite sorted out the pool at that point. I loved it too since Remy and Eden are old enough to watch my girls and keep them entertained. It made it easy for me to sit back and relax. I think we have figured out the pool now but we still need to do a lot of vacuuming since there is a lot of sand at the bottom of the pool. I'm hoping to have that done today and tomorrow. We also had friends over for dinner on Sunday night. Entertaining after a move always makes me feel like we have finally made the house a home. I finished the last few boxes of unpacking yesterday and it felt good. Since I finished the unpacking yesterday and the kids, while having done great entertaining themselves, were a bit stir crazy we decided to meet some friends at a nearby playground. There is a new playground a couple minutes drive from us so we went there and ended up spending over three hours playing. It was good for the girls to play with friends and have my attention as well.

The kids are at czech lessons this morning and I have finished mopping all the floors in our old apartment. Next Czech lesson will be the final cleaning on this apartment. The nice thing about coming back to our apartment is I can get online! We still do not have internet in the new house. As a matter of fact, we don't even have a computer since we had to bring our computer in for service becuase it isn't working AGAIN! I'm hoping by the time we get our computer back (within a week they tell us) we will also have internet. We shall see.
