All moved in... still getting used to the change.

So we moved in last weekend and have been able to get everything unpacked.  There's still some decorating to do, however here's some progress pics of the new house (and yard).

First, the kitchen.  It's small, so I have to stand at each entry and use two photos to capture it.


Next, the dining room, from the kitchen entry.

A view of part of the living room (mirrored wall), kitchen, and dining room. 

 Second bathroom.

Master bath.

And now, the outdoors.  Right outside the sliding door is this beautiful bush, and below is a close up of one of the flowers.


When we moved in, that green plant on the left bottom of the photo was taking over the whole walkway.  There's still more to clear on the other side, which you can see in the second photo.


We believe there used to be something large in the back yard that covered the ground and didn't allow the grass to grow.  We're pretty certain that this is not natural (caused by shade when the tree grown in) because there's a perfect line between the grass and ground.

There will be more photos as we do more work in the yard, these are just a beginning.  There's lots of flies and bees outside though, so we're looking at ways to get rid of them.  I've turned to pintrest for a few ideas, and the current winner is this one:

I made up three tonight and will put them out tomorrow mornings, when the flying insects are not as out and about.

I've also tried out two other things from Pintrest today.  One was a homemade weed killer (for our dandelion problem) and chocolate syrup (for Babe's love of Hershey's chocolate syrup for his milk).  We have to wait to see if the weed killer worked, but the chocolate syrup was a hit!  I actually can't wait to put some on top of my ice cream... Or in a milk shake.  Best part?  I don't even like store bought chocolate syrup, but I love this one.  I used unsweetened Hershey's cocoa, instead of Ghirardelli like in the pin.
