Well, we are all moved in for a week now. It seemed like we moved for 2 weeks. With all of the cleaning in the new house and prep work it took forever. I also cleaned the old house to perfection. So once we got in this house I was just exhausted. So I took my time unpacking.

The house is looking pretty good. There are still boxes around, but I have also unpacked a ton. I need to work on our closet tomorrow. I also need to get the homeschool room up and running.

Speaking of running, our kids have run around outside all week. We have 15 acres. About 3 is just yard the other 11 are wood. The have hiked and played in leaves and just run around like crazies all week. What fun they have had.

We are so looking forward to making some really good trails in the woods this fall. I would love to have our own nature trails to go exploring. The one big thing with all these woods are the ticks. Yuck, I thought they would be gone by now, but they are still alive and well. My son had 10 just tonight and that is with him being sprayed with DEET. Just what you want to have soak into your kids skin!!

Anyway, the ticks will be dealt with in the spring. We will spray or sprinkle something to keep them in line. For now, I think we only have another week or so until they die of cold wheather. It is suppossed to get down to 32 degrees this week. Not during the day, just nightime. That is pretty darn cold though. I am looking forward to cooler wheather though. I love fall.

So that is my update for now. Still alot of unpacking to be done. So happy with our simplified life. Looking to get it organized, but seeing that it will be good.

Blessings,

Andrea
