The house is ours! My husband is over there right now cleaning and ripping out paneling from one of the bedrooms and doing all sorts of things to get ready to scrub the house and paint. I am so excited that I could hardly sleep last night. I would love to be able to go over there to help out so we could get this done faster, but I am here with children today. I have my two kids, my niece and nephew (4 and 5 years old), and I'm also watching my 1 month old great-niece overnight tonight. Sounds like a whole lot of fun, doesn't it? My friend, Julie, is coming over this afternoon with her 3 year old daughter because her husband is going over to help my husband with the house. My wonderful brother-in-law and my oldest son's dad are also going over to the house to help. It's great to have family and friends willing to pitch in. We definitely need all the hands we can get. There is a lot of work to be done over there.
