Carpet

Mike and I picked out carpet yesterday. We need to recarpet the entire house. Mike went to order it today, only to find it has been discontinued. Drat. Now we have to decide again.

A few weeks ago, Mike and I made a deal with Jorja. We told her that we understood that her school was really hard and we were asking her to do an incredibly hard thing, but we really wanted her to try. The deal was, after a week of Chinese, she could choose something fun or something to have. Jorja has now completed two full weeks of Chinese. After the first week, she chose a Settlers of Catan game for her ipod. This week she wanted the family to go see Megamind. I think the three older kids liked it. Preston didn't cooperate much. He "needed" to go to the bathroom three times. I took him out the first two times, Mike the third. Too bad Mike missed the entire climax of the movie.

Mike has now finished his first week of on-call. He doesn't need to do that again for about ten more weeks. He is so tired. The last few nights he has been up most of the night. Hopefully when we are finally in our new house it will be a little easier. (Mike spent part of every night there because the Internet connection is faster/more reliable.) So many reasons to look forward to moving in! We can't wait! Well, obviously we can wait, but we are getting really anxious and excited.
