The makings of a home

Our apartment is starting to look like a home! There are only a few boxes left in the kitchen, living room, and kids’ room. (There are many boxes in our bedroom.)

I cleared out the kids’ walk-in closet and made it into a play area for Sabrina. Since the doorway is too small for the baby gate I use her play kitchen to block the doorway, yet she can still see into the bedroom. Now I can put her in there with her toys and not worry about her getting a hold of Alex’s smaller toys. Sometimes she plays in there for quite a while, but she also enjoys it when one of us goes in to play with her.

The living room has a lot of open space for the kids to play. Sabrina’s playpen is near the table. Across from there is the homeschool rack. I hope to start up homeschool again next week. The recessed dining area is completely set up, including the grape plates hanging above the window.

We’ve still got work to do in the bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms. We haven’t done anything with the patio yet. I think it looks pretty good for us only being here two weeks.
