So now we’re semi settled in Seattle, Wa. It’s Monday April 22nd and so far things are getting back to normal. We let the kids have a few days off school but we plan to register them tomorrow. I think that will help with my 8 yr old’s attitude about moving from his home….Texas.
Even though we’ve only been here 3 days we’ve done a lot! We’ve driven around just looking at the scenery….OMG it’s beautiful!!! I’ve never seen such gorgeous flowers! And the tulips are absolutely beautiful! It’s my favorite flower and they are so many here. And for a dozen it’s only $10!! I just might have to get a vase to have some at our temporary housing, lol!!
So I was worried that we’d forget stuff in our gazillion bags we brought….well we haven’t really forgotten anything we need but a blanket. I love to cuddle on the couch with it in the evenings so now i’ve got to talk the hubbs into getting a blanket. We’ve had to go buy a few things to make life easier (stuff that wasn’t really necessary, but we can’t seem to live w/out). Like a pizza cutter, measuring spoons, laundry baskets…basically stuff I couldn’t pack on the plane but didn’t think I’d miss it so much, lol!! Luckily there is a Target, Walmart, Big Lots, and a Dollar Tree so I was able to get stuff pretty cheap. But you know how they say “Everything’s Bigger in Texas”….yah it’s true!! Even the kids were like this is a little Walmart, lol!!!
I can’t wait to do more exploring but today we’re staying close to home to help the kids get back into a routine for school and so they’ll stop driving us crazy about wanting to go home….they’re not really the adventurous type, lol!!
Here are some pictures we’ve taken so far! Jayson showing his “Monkey” the clouds, Kennyth chilling on the iPad, the pets made it, Jayson on the shuttle (he thought it was cool he could stand), all our luggage, lots of scenery, the Ferry (neato!!), weird little house and playhouse we came across, some downtime at the park, and more scenery! So much and so much more to see and do!
