Got to Canton on Wednesday. Enrolled the kids on Thursday. On Friday had to get Melee' a haircut at the barber shop, because evidently, the Principal at the Intermediate school doesn't recognize a rockstar/flag football quarterback/baseball player/motocross legend in the making when she sees one. On the plus side, haircuts at the local barber shop are only nine bucks and take over forty-five minutes, so we got our money's worth.
We met Peach's new teacher and if you can even believe it, she's our new neighbor. (Or will be once our house is built.) I am SO relieved and excited! Melee's teacher looks fresh out of college, so I look for him to have a great year! John's school handed me his paperwork and then gave me the big brush off. Well, two out of three ain't bad.
Our builder staked out the house on the lot we thought we were going to choose. But the shape of the lot is narrow at the front and the house is so wide that when he scooted the house back to fit it on the lot, the neighborhood playground was a little bit in front of the left side of the house. So we are going back down to the other corner lot that we were looking at in the beginning and it looks like a much better fit. Hopefully our paperwork will be complete and dirt work will get started after January 1st. And maybe I will have the right kind of cord to connect my phone and download a picture or two.
Seven of us and a dog living in my Mom's house for the next four (to six) months ought to be interesting. The dog has already gotten out of the backyard more in the last three days than she has in her whole career with our family. We've put two runners in her carpet, I spilled chili on the new kitchen rug, and we've stopped up the kitchen sink once. We may need someplace to hangout right around Spring Break, or maybe by MLK.
