Saw and signed for the house, MOVING IN ALREADY!!!!

Oh we saw our house and the kids have already claimed their rooms. The cat is SO happy to be in the house as well. His litter box is and will remain in the laundry room. In fact the laundry room is big enough that we will be able to have the kids remove all their boots, and shoes in there YAY!!!!
The best part is the dining room has tiles so NO MORE carpet under the kitchen table. This I am so excited about. The boys and girls ran upstairs and went right to the rooms they wanted. NO ARGUING OVER ROOMS!!!! Silly Ellie placed her favorite beanie baby toy in the room to "guard it from the boys" LOL.

They already decided what room will be our craft/sewing room (unless we need Nana and Poppy to come and help us at some point, depending on what the dr's here discover). If that is the case Nana and Poppy, warning the room is small but we will make it work for you...

The room right across from the kitchen will be our family/entertainment room, the other side will be our library/music room room. The house is small but we will find a way to make it work.
Thanks to a Navy Dr friend of mine and book shelf pictures he posted if we have to remake our book shelves I now what we need to do for our library/muisc room.

The movers are going to LOVE NOT having to move our washer dryer beast of machines upstairs. The laundry room is down stairs on the main floor YAY!!!. Mom and Dad will wash on Sunday, Celidah on Monday, Jade on Tuesday, Corbyn on Wed, Jairon on Thur, Zach on Friday, and Ellie on Sat. Of course the younger kids will need help but each child will have a set day for washing his or her clothing AND bedding.

Their bedding washing day will also be their mattressing steaming day as we are now in a bedbug area. I have been told that the best way to get rid or more for sure keep them gone is to steam the mattresses with steamer using hot water with a small amount of vinegar in the water at least 2x monthly. If we do that weekly, flip the mattress, steam again then we should never have bedbug issues. Something about steaming vinegar water and bedbugs is a bad combo LOL.

Also the Piano and Organ will be on the ground floor!!! YAY no stairs to battle with, with either one of those. I think I will need to find a creative way to make a set of gorilla shelves look a bit more classy for storing the instruments on in between the organ and piano. Not sure how to do that yet...
As for the kids rooms we will for sure build the kids tripple bunk beds. The kind that have 2 beds on top and on on the bottom creating a fort style bed that will fit nicely in the corner something like this http://www.bunkloft.com/bunk%20beds%2026%20-%20custom%20triple%20bunk.JPG
The first idea may be the very best bunkbed set because as the kids grow up they will be able take their individual section with them off to college.

Another tripple bed idea http://0.tqn.com/d/furniture/1/0/O/5/-/-/TripleLindyLoft.jpg as we can fit dressers in the room too.
