A different type of blog

Since move wise, and excitement wise, things are slowing down quickly, and the blog would be very short, thought i would update in a different way.

I guess i will start with the littlest one. Dani. She has had a rough night here and there due to the fast food we were eating, and the fast food industry just isn't all that dairy free. So she has had more milk in her diet than she should, but considering, she is doing good. She is adjusting well to the new house, and has mastered going down the stairs since getting here. We are hoping that she is going to be an easier than Ellie potty trainer since she already tells us that her bum is dirty, and she has started asking to sit on the potty like her big sisters. LOL Her vocabulary is blooming, and even though we are still lacking the "Mommy" word that i so desperately want, she is saying plenty of other words that keep us amused. Our latest favourite is "Ding" from the van dinging when the seatbelts aren't buckled fast enough. LOL

Ellie.. well Ellie is Ellie. Like Dani she is adjusting fine to the new house and what not. Unfortunately she was struck with the first cold of the season, but considering all the *public* things she has touched between here and Ottawa, it's not all that surprising that one of them would end up sick. Right now its just a runny nose, and the medicine is doing the trick for her at night, so hopefully it will run its course with little disturbance.

Onto the oldest. Kat is really enjoying school. Already made a friend yesterday, but didn't remember her name. She is the type of girl that can make a friend anywhere though, so no worries about her making friends at school. She is a little "bored" around here, but i think she thought that we would move, and everything would be done.. none of this unpacking, and organizing, and setting up, and cleaning, and shopping. And while i'm not getting the reactions that i expected from her, i think she is enjoying herself and the little trips that we have taken.

As for me and Steph.. we are taking everything in stride, and trying to get the girls onto a schedule that works for everyone, at the same time as getting a house the is clean, organized and functional. So we are tired of course, but things are going well. Slowly each room is coming together. I started the laundry today, we should have the closets organized by the end of the weekend, and hopefully the playroom will start looking more like a playroom and less of storage room soon.

So that's the blog for today. This afternoon, we head out to do the mattress shopping, the food shopping, the drapes shopping, etc.. Should be fun (if all 3 kids cooperate LOL).
