You might be smashed in there like sardines at the moment but just pretend you're all on vacation in some tiny, cozy cabin in the mountains. :) I love that you've taken the time to "Chris" it up a bit and make it feel like home. Enjoy this little chapter!<br /><br />xo,<br />Jami<br /><br />P.S. Brave to put carpet in a kitchen, don't you think? My grandparents had it too. Do you know how nasty my floors would be by now? I think of all the juice spills, food flung from the highchairs.

How wonderful to have less square footage to clean, you will have so much more time to sew and to think of many more fun ways to be crafty! Your family is going to make so many found memories in this house. Just think of it as a rental "vacation" house, a place to just have fun :DKaren Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098971563014244164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921180150891952150.post-80502132325812359382011-08-13T16:43:16.292-06:002011-08-13T16:43:16.292-06:00As always, you are such a good homemaker!As always, you are such a good homemaker!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03886095253411671126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921180150891952150.post-51243968297596568172011-08-13T10:44:26.651-06:002011-08-13T10:44:26.651-06:00Chris, I once lived 6-8 weeks in a one bedroom lon...Chris, I once lived 6-8 weeks in a one bedroom long term hotel with 3 kids.

We were 13 people using 1 washroom (that grew to 2 bathrooms after I left home) and 4 bedrooms. We eventually got a dishwasher too but my fondest memories growing up are of us kids doing the dishes every night and singing together in harmony in the kitchen. <br /><br />You'll make memories in your new rental home too. And I bet the stories that you'll retain from this house will be unforgettable! That tire swing sounds like a blast!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707731064152242190noreply@blogger.com
