Paint, Paint...I think we should paint

I hate painting, for the record!
We finally closed on the new house on Monday afternoon and we starting getting things in order for the move. We are moving about 8 miles or so from our current residents, so it's not such a big deal!
The wife got the paint yesterday morning in preparation for Monday evening.
We had a few folks stop by to lend a hand (or a foot!) in the painting process. My goal was to be able to spend the night in the new house.
So, we got started - we had to prime the kitchen, then they started on the Master Bedroom and Bathroom. The wife did a great job on the color combo for these rooms.
These two rooms went fast - we then went back to the kitchen and spent the rest of the night there. I think the kitchen will turn out okay, but it's going to be a long process.

I brought the dogs to the new house yesterday evening and then I "oscar proofed" the back fence and let them free. It's funny to watch them explore a new place. Oscar chased a rabbit into the fence, face first!! I'm starting to like this house - I don't like spending money (except on toys!!) so it's taking a while to get used it. One neat thing about this house is the position of our master bedroom - there is a window that views that back yard. The wife and I were sitting here this morning watching the dogs explore the back yard.

I just realized that I haven't taken a single picture since we purchased the place. I'll have to get my camera and snap a few shots over the course of the day.

We did spend the night in the new place last night and we are planning to do a big move today. I hope it all goes smooth. The wife and I are internet deprived. The cable guy hasn't been here to set up our roadrunner yet, so I'm "mobile broadbanding" it!

We'll keep you posted on the 654!

I know exactly what you mean about hating to spend money on something other than toys. I feel the same way.
