We had a fun day.

We ran a little late today meeting our awesome realtor Kay's husband at the new house. Thankfully we caught him in time for him to get a tape measure for us to take some important measurements, fridge and stuff. He will oversee the home inspection next week so it was good to spend a little time with him so that Fred could enlighten him on what is important to us when it comes to a good safe home.

After we saw the house we went to the school that the boys will attend in the fall. It is three years old and has about 650 students in grades K-5. there are three main pods, a cefetorium and a gymnasium. they also have a covered play area, four basketball areas and green space. The library was beautiful. there were LOTS of computers and the kids all looked happy. We received the admittance paperwork for next year and will plan to have West Marshall send the boys' records at the end of the school year.

After the school we did something VERY important to mommy! IKEA! We all enjoyed meatballs and chocolate decadence cake for lunch then roamed for a bit and left having only spent $6 and change. Good deal really. I can see going back for lots more things once we get down here. It will be nice to have an Ikea so close again. Remember how we left Canton just 2 months after the Ikea opened there. This one is Frisco is even bigger and full of fun stuff! Fred had never been and the boys didn't remember going before but we managed to have a good time.

After lunch we needed to run to the realtor's office to initial one more paper. Then we headed back to the hotel for a mid-day siesta. I enjoyed it and woke up feeling better than I had. I think that the in and out from hot to cold has given me a little cold. I will deal but should stop by CVS for some meds after dinner.

Once I awoke from my nap the boys FINALLY got to go swimming. They swam until they were wrinkled old men. They had a blast and are ready for summer of swimming. Not sure that their fair skin will handle that but we'll figure something out.

OK, the boys are clean and I am getting hungry so I think it is time to have someone else cook for me. That is my idea of a vacation!

Final notes to my pals in Iowa... Happy birthday to my pal Andrea! Please do not save me any cake, I am sure you didn't! Congratulations to my dear friend Jan who won a very cool AEA award today. She totally deserved it!

I will try my best to post some pictures of the new house and our other adventures tonight or tomorrow.
