Mantle is Finally In!

I have been waiting what seems like forever to get the mantle in. I picked it but then they said it wasn't going to have legs because there wasn't enough room and I said "No way! There is room and I want it with legs!" So I whined and cried and got my way. Then the tile underneath was installed wrong and we had to wait for that to get fixed and today it finally got put in! About and hour before the final inspection so it was really like the last thing to go in. LOL Anyway the house is pretty much done at this point. We have a few little things to get fixed so they can re-inspect it Thursday. So it looks like we will be moving next week. WOO HOO!!! and YIKES!! all at once. I am not really ready to move but I guess you can't really pack up everything until it is time. KWIM?

Here are a few pictures taken today after the clean up crew left. It will never be this clean again. I am cleaning challenged. But, I am getting very excited now.

Would someone just give me the go ahead on the move already? I am going nuts here! LOL PLEASE!!!

The Wisdom of a Child

Sometimes my kids say the cutest things. And most the time I forget to write it down but I have to write this one it is just too cute to miss.

On Sunday when I was trying to sleep in (after working until 3 am) the kids decided to invade my bed and use me for a trampoline. After a while (when he knew I was too awake to go back to sleep) Jesse came in and told them to get out. Garyn of course wanted to know why.

So Dad being his full smart ass self says "because mom said so, and she is important"

Garyn "really?"

Me "Yes I am the boss and I am the most important person"

Mr. Garyn in his very serious tone:

"Oh no you aren't. You ARE NOT as important as Jesus"

Well Garyn, I will have to give you that one. Little smarty pants. And he was so happy with himself for out smarting us. Good thing we have out kids to keep us on track. Oh the fun of a 5 year old. He is such a cute little happy bear. :) And oh so snugly!
