For the last few days, we were staying in a one-bedroom apartment, but today, we got the keys to a three-bedroom apartment. When the apartment agent handed the keys to me, she said, "I think you'll be very happy in this apartment. And we just put in new carpet!" That's the sort of thing, when you have four kids, that does not make you jump for joy. I would have preferred older carpet.
But the kids had other ideas. They quickly discovered that the new carpet had two different colors, depending on how it was "brushed."
And here's the result. Micaela and James both "carved" large Green Day drawings into the carpet. We weren't allowed to step through the living room for the whole day.
We came upon a fantastic music store, the Guitar Center, in the town next door and bought James a drumming block since he's been driving us crazy drumming on the counter top with pencils.
He went on to recreate his beloved drum set and the metal Lufthansa boxes we were given on the flight home made decent symbols.
We've been surviving with no TV, no computer, no wi-fi in our new apartment, few toys, no friends, but the kids have been doing great. Being able to go swimming every afternoon in the complex' pool and reading books on the Kindle helps.
