Yet again this morning Sebastian decided that 3.50am was a good time to get up. Again the telly went on for the boys at 5am. Sebastian managed to go back to sleep at 6am though! By now the boys were up and watching tv in the main room of our hotel room.paul and I managed to get back to sleep till 8 which was bliss. We had to wake Seb up at about 8.40 as we had things we wanted to do today. We went and had some breakfast, the boys ate loads.
We were on the road by 9.40, heading up to Charlotte. All the boys were asleep within 20 minutes into the hour and a half drive. We got to ikea by 11.10, 10 minutes after they opened, so it was quite quiet. The boys had a snack and we went in. It is just like ikea in the UK. We are contemplating getting our bed from there, it is relatively cheap. I went a bit mad in the children's section, then we headed to the market place. By now we already had one big bag full. By the time we left the market place to pick up the boys beds, we had 3. We found the boys beds and mattresses and headed to the check out. Ouch! We spent a fair bit, but we have scratched the surface on what we need for the house. At least the boys all have beds and bedding, and there is a fair bit of kitchen stuff in place. We headed back in for a quick snack before carrying on to our next place to spend money.
We arrived in Gaffney outlet mall an hour later. It was nice to have a look at designer shops. We even spent some money. Paul got some trousers and a hoodie from the timberland shop, he needs trousers for going into work as he can't wear jeans. He put all his trousers in shipping.... I got some nice tops from Tommy Hillfiger, Banana Republic and Gap. Don't think I have ever bought anything for my self from these shops, it was a nice feeling. I stopped my self from getting to much, as I can't actually remember what I have throw away and what I have kept! The boys were being monkeys again, so we left quite quickly after that.
We headed to the house. We had arranged to meet the landlord there at 5pm, so he could give us a walk through. Paul did most of this while I stayed in the car and gave them yet another snack. I let them out after a while, as the owners son was on the lawn, and the boys were itching to play with him. Cue chaos of 6 children running around an empty house..... But as there was no furniture, they were able to. In fact, they all played really nicely. We were with the owner and his family for an hour before they handed over the key and headed back to Charlotte.
We were in!!!!!!! We did a little jig in the house. We are in!!!!! We dropped off all the stuff we bought at ikea and are currently trying to decide what else we need.....
We left the house quite late, and had KFC on the way home. Oliver and Sebastian loved it, Isaac not so keen. He is overtired again. Running theme here....
We got back to the hotel and put the boys to bed a bit later than usual. I ordered Oliver's school uniform, again ouch..... And are currently sitting here just chilling and trying not to think of all the things we need to do to get us into out house. We want to be in by Friday at the very latest. At least the boys have beds. Going to order the tv and electrical goods and the dining room table tomorrow. Most of the white goods are in, but the washer and the dryer are due to be delivered on Wednesday. We still have to decide on a bed for us......
Tomorrow paul has to go for a meeting at work. I am going to drop him off and pick him up. Not sure what I will do with the boys, probably go to target and move some stuff to the new house.
Sooooooooooo exciting........
