FINALLY We will not be homeless!!

We bought a house last weekend yipeeee!!!! It is a bungalow on a very quiet little cul-de-sac, right by mimico creek and five minutes from my mom’s. The house is in great shape but needs some updating (it was a granny special). I have already been busy planning the kitchen, I am pumped. We saw the house on Thursday and of course they were not accepting offers until Sunday, ugh and sure enough by Sunday there were 2 other offers. Oh well.

Sunday we all helped Julie move into her new loft and we invited everyone back to our place for Sunday dinner. Initally John, Denise and Julie had declined cause it had been such a crazy week for them with all the painting and moving etc. but in the end they all decided to come along with my parents who were always going to come. SO anyways Sunday at 4pm we put in our best offer fully expecting to be rejected yet again but we were floored when Sharon called us at at 5:30 to tell us that we got the place, we were jumping up and down int he kitchen just as John, Denise and Julie pulled into the driveway. Jeff and I had to go over and sign one the papers so we ran out the door leaving the kids with J,D and J, Poor Felix was sitting in his chair bib on ready to be fed with one parents to feed him Luckliy the family guess right and decided he was just about to be fed and hadn’t already eaten so they picked up where we left off.

The house is a three bedroom with potential for a fourth in the basement, a huge backyard (pie shaped), two wood burning fireplaces and most importantly TWO bathrooms We are all so excited and so happy to be finished our seach. Only hiccup as it stands right now we are out of our place on July 15th and don’t get this place until the 30th… EEEP The person living there is doing their best to try to find something sooner so we can get it before our closing (fingers and toes crossed).

Amelia isn’t sure aobut the whole move thing but she has decided that her new room with be painted while and pink with pink flowers, (I am going to have to figure out how to actaully implement this request).

Felix is teething like mad these days and is being an A**, his new nickname is Captian Crankypants. One of his weeks major achievements is that he can now get his toes in his mouth, he is pretty pleased with himself.

I am pretty busy these days with kids, moving and reno stuff and my photography course is now two days a week until mid June. This coming weekend I am off to Montreal with a couple friends, should be fun!!
