New house and Kitty

We closed on Monday and since then, have been hard at work. The sellers left some interesting items behind, and we've had to do a lot of cleaning up after them. Here's some highlights:

-A ziploc bag full of hair (child's first haircut, perhaps)
-Bins full of dog poo
-A bathtub hidden behind the shed
-Beer cans/bottles scattered throughout the backyard
-Curtains completely caked with dust
-At least 100 dead ladybugs in each room
-Pots and Pans
-An old gatorade bottle
-Dog Bones and many dog toys

Since Monday, we have cleaned out everything, washed the carpets, dusted, and started on the backyard.

Here's a picture of the Kitchen. Yes, that countertop is spongepainted blue and red. We will be taking care of that.



More pics/updates to come. In the meantime, please give your 2 cents and vote on kitty's name. He won't come home until Saturday, and I would like to give him a name sooner rather than later. The picture below is not actually kitty, but this one looks more like kitty, except our kitty has a tail.

I think you should name your kitty "Second Chance"...for obvious reasons :)

Emily, I just found your blog and will be a regular reader.Sponge-painted countertops are completely groovy. I don't have a suggestion for Kitty's name, but I'll have Ava look at the pics and see what she says. She comes up with some good ones.

Ava has 2 suggestions for kitty's name. First is "Ava". I told her the kitty is a boy, so she said a boy kitty name is "Ghetto Robert".
