Thursday - October 15th
It was weird to not wake up to the house being all decorated like we normally do on birthdays. I didn't decorate, because Brinley really wants to celebrate her birthday in our new house. We would have moved in this last weekend, but there was a mess up in some of the paperwork, which made it so we had to wait another week. The house should have officially been ours yesterday, but do to another mess up in paperwork, as of this morning, it was not officially ours. The house officially became ours at 10:00am this morning! It was such a relief that it all worked out. Especially since we had scheduled to have Brinley's party there. We had a lot of people invited to come over at 2:00pm. I was a little worried we were going to have to cancel the party.
So, we woke up in an undecorated house. Also, our rooms aren't all put together, so it was more fun to sleep in the living room.
These are the selfies we took after we got the phone call that the house was officially ours! We were excited and being goofy. After we took the pictures, we gathered all the things we needed to decorate and get the house ready for the party and we headed over there.
We brought our friends, Teirnynn and Malaiyah to come and help us.
We used Halloween decorations mostly. Since there was no furniture, there was plenty room to set up a bubble. I've been wanting to try a black bubble. I thought it would be fun, since it's Halloween time. I tried to find every light up, flashing toy we had, so they could have some light in the bubble and have a dance party. They were really wild in there. By the end of the party, there were lots of holes in the bubble. But, that's okay. They had fun!
We all sat down stairs in the family room to watch Brinley open her presents.
Before the party started, I was supposed to go and pick up Alissa's friend, Tonya. We were excited that she was able to come, because Alissa doesn't get to see her very often. I ran out of time and knew I wouldn't be able to go and pick her up before the other guest started arriving. So, I texted the Beverly's and asked if they would pick her up on their way to drop Erin off here. They said they would. A half hour after the party started they still weren't here. I called Erin's mom, only to find out that Erin told her the party started at 4:00. So, they were in Brigham at Walmart buying a gift. The party was scheduled to start at 2 and end at 4. Erin's mom was frustrated with her for getting the time wrong. They hurried back, picked up Tonya and dropped them off at our house. I felt so bad for not picking up Tonya. I could tell she was frustrated. They ended up getting here an hour late. She got permission to stay at our house later, since she didn't get here when she had originally planned. That was good. It was nice for her and Alissa to have more time together.
After the presents, we sang happy birthday and had cake and ice cream. I decided to make cupcakes. I thought that'd be easier, since we don't have any dishes or anything here. I tried to bring whatever I could, but it was hard to find things, since so much of our stuff is in boxes.
When the party was over, a couple of friends stayed around to play for a while. Roger had to leave to go to work. The kids and I stayed to clean up and play. Erin and Tonya stayed a little longer and our new neighbor's across the street stayed. The kids had fun playing games. The thing they played the longest was ghost in the graveyard. It was fun, because there was no furniture in the way and lots of room to run and play.
After the party and before we went to bed, Brinley went up to the bathroom mirror to try out some of her new make up. There was some dark red lipstick that reminded her of Miranda Sings. So, she put her lip stick on like Miranda sings. Alissa came up and saw what she did and decided to join her. They are too funny! I was laughing so hard at their Miranda sings impersonations. They are funny, funny girls!
This is where Parker and Brinley will be sleeping tonight. Their beds are all packed up and ready to go, but we laid their mattresses on the floor and made it as comfy as we could.
Here are the girlies cleaning the make up off their faces so they can go to sleep. We plan to wake up and start moving things in to the new house tomorrow.
