Kansas...

Well, we have arrived. After 3 very long days in the car, we made it to Kansas! The boys were great and traveled with very little complaining. (Maddie was an angel - the perfect car traveling dog!) I'm pretty sure their brains are permanently ruined from all the DVD watching and video game playing, but I know it made the trip go by faster for us all. Drew even switched to reading books and just looking out the windows on our last day - I think he had enough of technology! We arrived to a winter wonderland. The KC area has experienced quite the snowfall over the past few weeks and the temperatures have kept it around. There is at least 8-10 inches in most places. Our new house has a beautiful blanket of snow all around it just beckoning for play. Alas, it is not an option. For one, under all that snow is mud. Not grass...mud. Due to the weather, the interior of our house is almost complete but the exterior? Not so much. We don't have paint, gutters or landscaping. So no snow play. But that's ok - I forgot to pull the snow boots out before packing so they are on the moving truck. And why are they still on the truck even though we are here? Because we aren't closing on the house until Wednesday and we aren't moving in until Thursday. We are currently on Night 6 in a hotel and I am going a little crazy! But it's almost over...then the real fun begins!! Anyone want to come unpack?
