I've got time for one quick entry while Noelle pulls all of the books off the bookcase and attempts to destroy them. Poor Garfield comics will never be the same!

Nothing much new to talk about. We went out yesterday morning, without the kids, to pick up the checks from the bank for the BMW. We came home and waited until after naptime to head out to Bethesda to drop off the checks and get the final paperwork for the car completed. It's now officially ours...sorta. I guess technically it belongs to the bank, but that will be a loan we plan to go after agressively so we can pay it off quickly.

I managed to unpack a few more boxes in this study yesterday, but still have more to go here. I'd like to get it done today for good, but Frank already has plans to run out to a few places this morning. We have to replace some shades in our bedroom because they are already falling apart, and these weren't cheap shades in the first place! I can't remember what else he wanted to do, but at some point we have a ton of laundry to do as well. What fun!

Ok, well the boys should be home any time now. They went out on a Krispy Kreme donut run this morning, in the BMW of course. I'm going to attack a few more boxes in here while Noelle is occupied with a crayon and a notebook.
