a walk through, since only one of you has been here

So, my camera battery is charging. After it's done, I'll do the post for today about Lil Miss.

However, I realized a few days ago that only one of you (Grandma Barbara) has actually seen the new apartment. Well, I guess it's not new since we've been here almost a month, but you know what I mean. So I was cleaning on Thursday, trying to forget I was sick since Lil Miss wouldn't let me sleep, and I decided to take pictures and give y'all a walk through! So be prepared -- picture heavy!

This is, obviously, not actually in the apartment. This is our little car, out front. It's old, but it runs well. I want to get the transmission checked out before we take it on a long road trip, but it's a good little car and perfect for what we need down here.

This is our little front yard. She's too young to play in it right now, but if we stay here longer than we are currently planning, it will be a good place for Lil Miss to run around and be a kid. Also, it's nice to have since she likes to be outside so much and likes to walk -- gives me a different place to walk in circles where I'm not walking by our neighbors smoking on their porches. I don't want her around smoke.

Our little porch and our front door. You can't see it, but we have chairs on the front porch. We're right at the front of our little horseshoe of apartments.

What you see right when you open the door -- our couch (with the awesome slip cover we inherited from Lori), the rug the coffee table -- our living room. The entire apartment is floored in that beige tile you see.

Directly to the left when you walk in -- Jimmy's Miami Heat stuff. He got the Heat light from a bar in Key West that was shutting down. The poster? One of our neighbors went to the Miami Heat game where they retired Alonzo Morning's number and they gave out those posters -- it's signed by Alonzo Morning. Jimmy loves it. I think I'm going to get it framed for his birthday.

Directly to the right of our front door -- Jimmy's hats. These aren't even all of them, these are just the ones he actually wears a decent amount. I figured it was easier to hang them on the wall -- they have a place, they're easy to get to, ect. I like them.

Our living room. Pretty standard. The bean bag chair that both Zeus and Lil Miss love. I think they use it more than they allow Daddy to. They've commandeered it from him. The blue thing in the top right corner? That's Zeus' blanket that I made for him (cause he tried to steal Lil Miss' blanket) that's sitting on top of my computer chair.

Our living room standing on the other side of the room. I think it looks pretty good. It's larger than the living room in our other apartment. And much easier to set up. The other apartment's living room was rather strangely laid out. I love that carpet, btw (another inherited one) -- free -- can't do better than that!

Our kitchen, from the living room. Yes, we have a bar counter. Good place to eat since there isn't much room for a table in the apartment. And yes, that is a Swiss flag on the back door ("I am Switzerland -- I am neutral." Anyone that gets that reference........................is as much of a dork as me.). There were no blinds or anything over the window in the back door, we needed something, Jimmy had that flag. (Why? I dunno. He has some odd things. Then again, so do I). We put it up as a "jury rig" for that moment. And now we just like it.

Our kitchen. Not huge, not much, but it works for us. The fridge is much bigger than the old one we had. I like it lots.

The hallway to the bedrooms. Lil Miss loves that poster of Paris. I think it's the black and white she loves. The frame on the wall is all pictures of Lil Miss. She likes looking at that too.

Our little hallway. Not much to say about it. (c:

The restroom, directly to the left from the picture above. I put this in here for one reason and one reason only -- see the tub? Yes. We have a bathtub. I love it.

The smaller of the two bedrooms, the one on the left. This is Lil Miss' bedroom. I'm still working on her walls. They will have lots of different stuff on them -- it's a mish mash of both Jimmy and me. So Georgia, Florida, Dolphins, Yankees, Disney, fairies, Harry Potter, Heat and...well...all kinds of randomness. And I love it. And yes, her floor is already full of toys.

The other side of her room, with her bassinet (the second one. The one we salvaged) and the dresser she commandeered from Mommy to hold all her clothes. I think she has more clothes than Mommy!! (and that's hard!)

And finally, our bedroom, with her bassinet in the corner, because she still sleeps in our room for the moment (and, which is where she was during this entire photo shoot).

So yeah -- that's our little apartment. Hope you like it! Pictures and update in the morning since, like I said, camera battery is charging cause I let it die (yeah, I know, Bad Mommy! No Sprite for you!)
