Getting Settled

This is how I found Owen the first night in his 'new' bed.  The bottom bunk. 

This is also how I found the kitchen.  

We had our work cut our for us!

So we left and went to Quik Trip for breakfast! :)

We were actually on a mission to find a washing machine and dryer so we could do laundry.  But Lowe's has lawn mowers too, so it took longer than it could have.

Because boys like these sorts of toys.

We went to several different hardware and appliance stores, but didn't find a washer/dryer set that was a great enough deal that we wanted to spend our cash to take it home.

Somehow, because PetSmart was right next door to one of our stops, we ended up looking at tarantulas!  Miles is convinced he needs one as a pet.  With a price tag of $30 at the store, I told him if he can catch one in the wild, I might let him keep it. Ha.

By that first evening in Oklahoma, I had mostly found the kitchen to a point of functionality.
(while still using a refrigerator in the garage until we purchased one for the house)

AND: We found a washer/dryer listing online that was the same set we'd seen at stores for nearly $1,000 and paid only $180 for this used set!  This was so exciting!  (Now there is more left in the envelope for a king size bed! haha)

We wrapped up all that in time to take a quick walk around our new neighborhood.

Which we discovered has four, yes FOUR, neighborhood cats! 

When Miles asked if he could pet them, the owner said, "That's why they're outside!". 

We also found out that there are at least two boys living around the corner...  though it took a few 'drive by's' before my boys were brave enough to ask their names.
