Second Floor Living Without A Yard

So we moved. We now live in 860 sq feet of OUR OWN. It has a view of the Sears parking lot out the living room window. But I still like it. We have no couch, and 2 of the living room walls are covered in boxes. But I still like it. He/We decided NOT to unpack our kitchen stuff (after Colby informed that it was "buried" in our storage unit in the back corner. Way to plan ahead, I know.) So I scrounged up some basic kitchen supplies (I love you Julie!), bought 4 plates & 4 bowls from the thrift store, and invested in some plastic wear. I also bought:
-1 teal can opener
-1 ceramic knife
-1 cutting board
-1 set of measuring spoons and cups
It's amazing how little kitchen stuff you need when you get creative. Like using plates for pan lids when you make rice. Or using your husband's pressure cooker to boil noodles. And pre-cutting all your food before serving since you don't own any table knives. And never using the dishwasher because you don't even own a full wash-load full of dishes. But I still like it.

Gretchen was shocked into submission with the move. She became "shy". She wants me to hold her all the time. But I have time to hold her, and it keeps her from running away when we're in public. So I like it.

Ella is on Spring Break this week. Apparently the school district just throw darts at the calender to pick the dates for the holiday (Really? NO WHERE NEAR EASTER? And a whole month after the university/community college break. Really?) So far we've celebrated Spring Break by waking up at the normal 6:30, watching Alvin & The Chipmunks, and playing with our friends. Next up. Trip to the grocery store. Don't be jealous of our Rockstar life. (But I still like it.)

Last week we went to a post-Easter-Egg-Hunt (kind of a Last-Hurrah-Leftover-Extravaganza). Ella and Gretchen totally got sunburned. And today it was snowing sideways.

Dear Spring,

We miss you. Please come again soon.

Love,

Us.
