These are just a few pictures so you can see what it looks like. Hopefully I will post more once we start hanging pictures on the walls. The living/dining room is painted “Mellow Yellow.” (which happens to be Joseph’s favorite soft drink.) His office is a blue gray color. Our bedroom is light brown (sorry, not picture worthy yet).
The boys room is decorated in a batman theme, which is really cool for the boys. Austin also got a new twin sized bed. We took down the crib, and David is sleeping in the playpen for a few months until he is ready to move into the toddler bed.
Some perks to the new place- Rent+utilities should be comparable to our old place; We only moved one building over, so our address is the same except for the apartment number; we have the same apartment management/owners so they just transferred our old deposit; Austin is still close to his neighbor friends; we are still in the same public school cluster (no news yet as to where he has been assigned, but the move shouldn’t affect his placement);
Did I mention we painted the walls? It’s amazing how happier I feel having color on the walls. I have a full sized washer dryer in a separate laundry room instead of a half sized portable washer/dryer unit; We have a bigger linen closet and a coat closet, which we never had before; Joseph now has his own office, so my living room walls are no longer lined with shelves. Correction, Joseph now has his own “game room,” so our closets are no longer crowded with video games and equipment
. We have like-new carpet; our bathroom sink has more counter space; more cabinet space in the kitchen; a scenic view of the “woods” out our windows (quite a luxury in the city, mind you); We have a long hallway, which will serve well as a drag racing strip for the boys (and maybe it will keep them out of my kitchen, which has only one doorway now- our old apartment had two entrances to the kitchen, so the boys were constantly running through.)In summary, we moved to a new apartment. We like it better. Life is good.
