Skirting the Trailer

We are enjoying our first full weekend in Millie (our RV).  Yesterday we spent the day helping my dad work on his fence.  I spent the day inside using my parents washer.  There is a laundromat here, but at 3 dollars a load it adds up quickly.  So now we just show up at peoples houses with our laundry.  I have a feeling people will stop inviting us over. 

The girls stayed at my parents house last night and it was definitely the best sleep I've had since moving in.  So now I am rethinking it's the beds fault and maybe it is my children's fault I don't sleep well.  I still hope we can get a regular sized queen or better topper, but it's nice to know I can sleep well here.  Everyday we feel this is more and more our home.  We notice that when we are away we feel exited to get back home.  I'm glad we don't feel like we are too cramped and would rather be gone all the time.  I was worried about that.  I can already see a our family changing and being together more.  Small spaces certainly push you together. 

Today we worked hard on getting the skirting around the RV.  The temperatures are really nice now and we want to get Millie ready for winter before it gets cold outside.  Brian bought an old billboard sign tarp and we cut it in pieces.  He then used the existing screws on the trailer to hang it all around.  It looks great.  I think it really dresses her up.  Next up we will be building a small deck at our front door.  Hopefully that will help the shoe situation around here.  We always have a pile of shoes by our front door and it drives me crazy.  I hope to get a box on the porch we can drop them in.  

         This is how we pinched the tarp onto the side.
