Things Round Here

So we have officially fulfilled 1/4 of our lease agreement at our "new" house....which means we have been here for 3 months already....or just long enough to really start getting settled in. Well technically we were still hanging pictures and organizing this weekend, but I am not completely convinced you are ever fully finished with that kind of stuff. We have lived here long enough to acquire probably double the "stuff" that we had which will make moving one day double the fun. We have lived here long enough to learn that the electric bill is almost as much as our rent (seriously it is ridiculous).....we have lived here long enough for the girls to get territorial over their rooms and at any point in the day we will hear phrases yelled such as: "It's MY room and MY rules".....We have lived here just long enough for the train that is in our backyard with a full-on attack siren at all hours of the night to become more soothing and less completely and utterly annoying (praise God).....We have lived here just long enough that I finally think we have a good idea where all our furniture is supposed to go (we just swapped the office and the playroom last weekend and essentially moved all over again...or at least the complete disarray of my house felt like we were.) We have lived here long enough to get some sort of routine down most days its sketchy but it is there....We have lived here long enough to have to upgrade Paige's bed from a toddler bed to a full size bed (although her jumping on the bed and busting straight through the wood frame helped speed up the process)....We have lived here just long enough that I have cleaned the floors no less than 260 times...my husband says that the last people who lived here moved because the electric bill is too high and while he makes a valid point I would argue that it was because the floors take half a day to clean. We have lived here just long enough to see ice on the streets AND sun in the sky (okay so we do live in Texas...but still). We have lived here just long enough that it has already flown by and felt like forever! We all love living here and I would not change a thing....well okay...I would change the price of the electric bill and the floors, but other than that.... :-)
