So.... All of the planets aligned and we were able to close, bring a truckload of junk, and carpet the place all in the three days before Thanksgiving with the goal of surprising the kids that Friday.
WHEW!
We conned them into the car with promise of bagels and a road trip. Copying some friends of ours that go on "circle drives" to look at lakes, we austensibly wanted to see holiday decorations.
At some point, John realized that we had headed quite far in one direction and that it was, apparently, NOT a circle drive, and inquired as to my sense of direction and if I was lost.
We had a great weekend setting the place up and playing games and exploring (inside and out) and drinking cocoa. We're not planning on having television there, so that introduced some challenges for us (particularly at 6:30 a.m.), but in the long run, it'll be well worth it.
