Next town over

People are realizing we aren't from around here and it's not just because they don't recognize us - we can't stop ohhing and aahing everytime we go somewhere it's so beautiful. This is today at the bank. There is a fish ladder that Maisie and I have been dying to check out. It was disappointing, the ladder is closed. We are hoping to see it in action in the spring. Maisie thinks that the fish will wave as they are on their way up the ladder.
Should I tell her now or let her figure it out later that this isn't going to happen????

Ben's Room

Ben's new room has three closets and each one is full of his stuff. Two of the closets have secret doors in them that lead to the attic. He has some more pictures that he would like me to add but the digital camera was running out of batteries. We'll update those tomorrow.

Maisie's Room

Here is Maise's room - it is VERY messy every day all the time

She has some really cool things in this new room like Ben's old bunk beds, a closet with a shelf that she uses like a bunk bed, a closet with a secret door to the attic, a window seat that fits all of her stuffed animals including the giant bunny Dr Lee and a second door that leads to Ben's room.

The kids' space

Here we go, it's the unofficial "tour" - here is where all the fun happens at our house....

The upstairs is the kids space - at the top of the stairs is the book nook

Sam's room is finally unpacked

And even messy
