I know I say that a LOT--I never realized how much I actually say that vocally until about a year ago my son was saying it all the time, and I was like, "where did he get that from" and then I heard myself saying it one day. Then I realized that he got it from ME. So ever since then, I have allowed myself to do it in writing because really it is how I talk...
Anyway, so I got the boys all moved in on Sunday of last week; they both slept in Josiah's room until we could get Gonzo's carpet down. His carpet went down Monday and was steam cleaned, so Tuesday evening we set up his bed and dresser. Then I was able to clear out my room, and then Wednesday morning my room was steam cleaned, and I let it dry for two days because it had a LOT of stuff on it (being the only carpet that went through the whole construction, as the others are being put down now) and so it had to be extra cleaned, and thus took longer to dry. It still smells a little funny, but I am happy to be sleeping in a big bed again, as I was sleeping in a twin bed since we left the apartment 2 months ago.
Other than that, it has been plugging away at cleaning, putting things away and moving things around to prepare to put down the rugs in the day care/family room and dining room (but all of our boxes and such from the apartment were stored there so it is a lot of moving and sorting and restoring in the garage area. There is still quite a bit to do, but it is mostly small things that can be fit in here and there.
In addition to the house, Josiah had his elementary Spring concert, and he had some speaking lines--which he did amazingly--he is such a ham, loves being the center of attention, so he really plays it up. He, and all the kids did a great job singing and saying their lines. I would post pictures, but alas none of my pictures or video came out well, except the ones I took of Gonzo at the back of the gym when he couldn't sit still while the older elementary performance was on. SO we toured the kids art work displays in the back during that time. I did get a couple of pictures of Josiah that came out as I was picking him up in the hall after the concert was over. 
On Thursday, Josiah had his weekly swim time in the evening, and we had an appointment earlier than that with the family therapist. So in the time we had in between, we went grocery shopping. While we were there we ran into Josiah's PT that he had had when he was 3. It was really great to see her, and I am hoping we can catch up with her soon to hear how things are going. After grocery shopping, there was still an hour before swim time, so I decided he and I needed hair cuts, and we went to our favorite place (Adonis Hair Salon) and were able to snag Brenda, our favorite. She did a great job on my hair, but Josiah refused to get a hair cut. He sat very nicely and watched me get my hair cut. Usually he can be talked into it, but that day he was not having anything to do with it. So then we went to swim and he did a GREAT job of listening, swimming, and working hard for the whole time. I got some pictures, as I realized that he has been swimming for over 2 years and I had never taken any pictures of it before. So here are a couple of my swimming man at aquatic PT.
Here is Josiah after swim on the way to the car, telling me that he needs to take a picture
And here is a picture of me with my new haircut that Josiah took when I gave him the cell phone--of course this is after sitting in a humid 95 degree pool room watching him swim for over half an hour, so the style had slipped some with the heat and humidity. Still a really good picture for a 5 year old with a cell phone, I thought. And a nice haircut for me.
