The goals are in sight

This picture of the kitchen was taken pre-trim painting, but we did finish the trim last night. Now, I just need to clean the disgusting floor and the beer bottle strewn sink and then build the counter so we can move in on Sunday.
This is after the first coat of "Fiery Fuchsia" on the boys' floor. I did 2 more coats yesterday, and now we just have to leave it alone until we move in. Sebastian wanted a magenta room, so a magenta floor was our compromise.

And on the school front, Sebastian did get into 1st grade (good) but they want him to go to the school across town (bad). I'm sure that school is fine, but either I would have to drive him twice a day and waste a lot of gas, or send him on a bus so he can waste an hour or so a day riding around with a bunch of hooligans. The principal said to think about it, and he is looking into whether any of their 1st graders are definitely not coming back, and then we talk on Monday. We're going to tell him we want our neighborhood school or nothing. Sebastian really wants to walk to school. So, whether it's a 4 block walk to a school building or a 4 second walk to our living room, he will be walking.
