So we got our first partial statement for our electric bill… it was only for roughly a week of electricity, and it was A LOT higher than we expected.\u00a0 Now granted:\u00a0 we’ve had people in and out over the past month a lot, I’ve been a little light crazy (I LOVE LIGHT!), there are more lights in this house than we’ve ever had, Chloe and Josiah can both reach switches and freely turn them on and off, and our stove is now electric as well as our dryer.\u00a0 So, we did expect it to be a little higher–and truly you really don’t know what to expect when moving into a new house.<\/p>\n

So, if you come to visit us… prepare to sit in the dark.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Okay, I’m just kidding.\u00a0 But it does make us more aware of what lights we are leaving on unconsciously and where we can conserve energy.\u00a0 It’s a good reminder to not be wasteful.<\/p>\n

In other news:\u00a0 Tim is still working.\u00a0 It’s been pretty cold too, but the ground isn’t completely frozen and there still isn’t snow.\u00a0 He’s really ready to be done, but also thankful for the extra work, so it’s really a catch 22.\u00a0 Is that the right expression?\u00a0 Anyway, as of right now he’s working on his last job so he’ll most likely be done next week.<\/p>\n

I can’t believe we are officially down to less than a month before Christmas!\u00a0 It sure snuck up on me this year!\u00a0 I normally go black Friday shopping but I’m not sure about this year.\u00a0 It might be nice to spend the day getting more stuff on the house done… but then again, if there is an amazing deal, I might just have to brave the crowds… we’ll see what the flyers have advertised.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And before I go, how about a picture?<\/p>\n

Happy, clean kids!\u00a0 I just love their sudsy hair styles!<\/p><\/div>\n
