Homeowners!

We are finally homeowners again! Tonight we closed on the second home we've owned during our married life. It feels great! Now the real work begins though. It was not left in the greatest condition (couldn't complain with the price though) and has A LOT of dirt and junk to clean out, preferably before we get too comfy and my allergies get worse. I would love to paint also, but am wondering how feasible it is with 3 little ones under 5 and trying to keep it off hardwood floors. Jarom is convinced we should paint his room red, but I know Courage would love blue or green and Matt wants every room white. I need ideas! It is also the ideal time to hurry and get a garden in so I can have nice, fresh produce over the summer. And I need to figure out what to do with the steep hill in front...what to plan so I can avoid having to mow it! Anyway, tomorrow I have Grandma watching the boys so hopefully Matt and I can get plenty done.
Oh, I've taken new pics, but don't know where the camera cord is, so they will have to wait to be posted! And, if you are interested in coming to Hope's blessing, let me know.
