So, when we moved, we had the movers place every single box in the family room so that they were out of the way and we could unpack the boxes and move the items to the appropriate location. The family room was practically wall to wall, floor to as tall as the movers (6 foot plus!!), carpet completely covered, etc. The tile floor that led from the garage into the house was left open for walking, which was necessary.
Over the last two and a half weeks, we slowly but surely emptied out the room. Walking through the family room into and out of the house each day now gives us a sense of accomplishment. We decided to truly make this the family room. Part of the room is set aside as the girls' playroom. It has a big book holder (I have a ton from my teaching days), an art easel, a rocking horse, a table and two chairs, a Lego box and a Lego wagon, and shelves waiting to be filled with the items we kept boxed up until we had a place for them.
Yes, D is usually wearing her bike helmet these days. In the bottom picture, it is right before bedtime and she is even in her PJs. She comes home, puts it on, and goes outside to ride her bike. These pictures were taken as she noticed new items in the room. We also have two love seats in the room and our new entertainment center in boxes. The store is waiting on a few parts of the entertainment unit, so we can't put it together just yet. It is nice to have a place where the girls can play and we can interact as a family.
