Closer, closer

We've completed our first home visit with our case worker. Sean has completed all his classes. All we have to do it get Sabrina's background checks done. Since she is 16, she has to be checked out. Even though she doesn't live with us, I guess they want to make sure we have it, just in case some other state would require it. Sean and I are soo excited to move forward. We are starting to move the house around so we have room for some kids. We really want 4 boys, but would settle for 2. ha. We would actually love more than 2, I'm just worried that 3 would be hard on one of the boys for sleeping arrangements. We have 2 bedrooms and have bunk beds for both. I don't want one boy to be in a room all by himself, in a new house, a new situation, far away from what they know. It just kind of worries me. I don't remember what I've posted but we really want boys. Or, maybe I should say, I really want boys. After dealing with the 2 girls we already have, I don't want anymore. If I get to pick, so going with the boys. Saturday we went out "looking" for a day bed with a trundle under for the girls when we move them to the finished basement. We should know better! We went to several stores and were not having any luck. At our last stop we found this really cool day bed that looks like a couch and the trundle comes with the thing. Most of the other places and other sets had the trundle for another $300. yikes. so, we bought the bed, it'll go in the basement. I offered our couch, chair and futon (that we recently acquired) to friends and they were snapped right up. YES! so excited. I spent the day yesterday washing the cushion covers and vacuuming the rest. One reason to not like my cats. hairy little buggers! But the couch, chair and futon are all clean and ready to go. We have a roll of plastic drop cloth, so I cut off a piece and covered the furniture so the cats can't get them all hairy again before they are moved out. Once those are gone we can move the other stuff around. We also got some paint chips for the rooms. We have to paint the smaller bedroom because the dog has managed to sling spit all over the walls. yeah, yuck. And because the guy before us used eggshell paint, when we clean the spit the paint will come with it. so much fun. The other room is just a boring pastel green which I've hated since we've moved in, so now is a good time to change it! So we are looking at some cool blues & greens that brighten up the room and will be semi-gloss for easy cleaning. Still haven't figured out where the dog is going to sleep once all this is finalized. I guess we'll think on that later
