Yay! We signed the lease on the house last night and will be moving in starting Aug 13. We will be out of the townhouse by 5 pm on Aug 20 and we are all so excited! Now the moving stuff just needs to be done-you know the details like forwarding address, changing addresses with everything, geting utilities moved. Blech! But soooo worth it. The house is HUGE-a bit bigger than the one we had in Wenatchee, with a bedroom for everyone and space all over. The yard is smallish and we'll have to take care of mowing and the garden, but for the price I got it for, well worth it. The kids are old enough to be learning how to take care of the house, so chores will be shared around! The rent is only $10 more per week than what we pay now, which is still at extortionist levels in my mind, but if we wanted 4 bedrooms and a house that didn't look like it was falling apart, you gotta pay for it here.
With the move, Alex will be able to enroll without issue at her chosen High School! If I don't get a call to work I will go down there today to take care of the paperwork to make sure everything is all in order. The transportation plan for next year is to drop her off at school, then get the littles to their school in the morning. After school Alex will take a bus to Camp Hill and meet us there. Since she wants to continue with swim club at CH, that works out very well.
This does add time to Lyle's commute, but we figure we can work around it. Dinner will be a bit later, he leaves at about the same time in the morning, and on those nights when we do swim club and after school late pickups for activities, he may just meet us at Camp Hill and ride home with us from there. We'll figure it all out!
With the impending move, Lyle has switched gyms to be closer to the new place. I went ahead and signed up with him. Started back this week and sooooo sore! Now that Alex is 12 she can watch the youngers for a bit while we work out. She's keeping track of her time and negotiations are underway for proper compensation. She likes money and extras like having a friend or two over "just because" rather than waiting for a special occasion. Also iStore apps for approval to download and Amazon.com books are good too!
The girls are continuing this term with Aerofit and I have promised Ian that he can do karate when he starts year 1. He wants to be a ninja so bad!
Have a great week everyone! Love you all! I'll send the new address to my family. If you want it, let Dad, Mom, or Megs know, or just email me.
