Pros and Cons

Wow so I have a lot of blogging to do, but that will have to come a little later.  Now that we are no longer basement dwellers I can reflect back on the pros and cons of living in the basement.  Oh and yes I promise I will put pictures of my house up, but I need to finish a few things.  Maybe it will be more incentive for everyone to just come on over and see it yourself:) 

PROS:                                                            CONS:
               Having only 1 bathroom to clean                          Having all of us use the same small bathroom
               Being so close to each other                                 Being so close to each other
               Having Brynn sleep right next to me                      Having Brynn take naps in the same room as us
               Kambri & Bennett playing together all the time      Having Kambri & Bennett share a room
               Not cooking as much due to lack of space            Spending too much money on take-out
               Not having to clean as much                                 Having all carpet that got pretty dirty
               Bennett sleeping in because the room is so dark    Having our bed right next to their room  
               Watching movies from my bed                             Kids coming out because they can hear the movie                
               Using paper products to limit doing dishes            Not having a dishwasher at all
               Brandon being just upstairs working on the house  Brandon having to work on the house a lot
               Realizing we can all live without as much stuff        Not being able to find all of our stuff
               Knowing where and what my kids were doing      Being claustrophobic so close to my kids

I'm sure I will think of more to add to the list. But I can just say I am so glad I am out of the basement and I LOVE my new house:)
(My list doesn't look like it did in the writing process, but I don't want to fix it:)
