Well, I'm at the in laws house trying
to crank out the last 3 days worth of blogs. I'm actually hoping for
just 2 out of 4 of them, but wi fi is a bit slow here, so we'll see.
It's been a busy day with a dentist appointment for Benaiah, grocery
shopping (with all 4 kids), lunch, nap for Abishai and projects for
Mommy, dinner, more projects, etc. etc.
It was actually fun to be able to take
all 4 kids by myself to the dentist and then to the grocery store.
Usually it's just the younger 3, but since Benaiah is out of school,
we can do more things like this. We were the ones who made faces in
the Aldi's security camera, and had a toddler out of control, but, we
made it through and under budget! I hadn't been in that Aldi's in
years, but the same cashier was there, probably since it opened 10
years ago. It's not as big and doesn't have all the items that our
other Aldi's does, but in a pinch, it's usually on our route to
places. You see, we live way out on the edge of the county and it
takes the same amount of time to go from the condo, which is 20
minutes north of the house, to places in Greenwood, which is
southeast of both locations. We can use the highway from the condo
but have to take backroads from the new house. Greenwood (which is
directly south of Indianapolis) is also just as busy as the Northside
(82nd and 86th streets) with the same amount of
shops, hospitals and services. The Northside is maybe 35-40 minutes
from the new house, but less than 20 from the condo. Most of our
business and doctors and such are in Greenwood. I don't like driving
in either place because of the stop and go traffic and too many
stores and intersections. So, I'm glad we live further out and can
do minor shopping closer by (yeah for CVS!)
Meanwhile, this afternoon I finished
setting up the bathroom and worked on some random boxes here and
there. I'm waiting on the guys to do some big rearrangement of the
sunroom and garage so I can find individual boxes easier. We did
rearrange the game room furniture, and if we like it, I can start
getting stuff on shelves in there. Keturah kept puttering in her
room and is enjoying setting up her stuff for the most part. Justin
had some TV time. Then tonight after supper, Jared had Benaiah get
in the crawlspace to put a box fan under there to dry it out a bit
better. Jared has also taken Abishai for a bike ride, and they ended
up at Grandma's house. Abishai didn't want to leave, so Jared just
left him there with Grandma! Ok, then! He came to get him later after
I got here to do some blog uploading. And that was our day. I think
that's going to be our routine for awhile, unpacking, going to
activities, and visiting Grandma often.
Whoops, I forgot! Grandma took the
middles to the library to start the summer reading program and just
to get them all out of the house. The Franklin Rd. branch of the
Indianapolis library is on the way to church, so it's only a couple
of minutes away. We are definitely having fun with the back and
forth. I just hope it doesn't get old too fast. I'm sure many
things will change come fall and school.
**Whoops! I loaded up today's pictures with yesterday's blog and posted them there! I do not like being behind and getting confused like this, but it happens. Not a big deal.**
