How we are living....

So, here is the inside of our new home!  A lot of people were curious how we are living, or should I say surviving, in an RV with 3 small kids.  I've taken a lot of pictures of the inside to show you around. Have fun peeking into our simple life!

Here is a view of the living room...you can see our front door on the righthand side.  Up the stairs is the master bedroom and master bath.

Here is a view standing at the front door....the kitchen and love seat

Standing at the love seat to show the other side of the living room.  We have a long table we can put in  when we want to have a big family dinner.  Right now the kids eat at the bar.  The weather has been so nice we can also eat outside.
Standing on the step to our room looking at the livingroom/kitchen.  You can see Katie's loft...she is up there cleaning her room. If you walk through the sliding glass door you will be in the garage/playroom/Nicholas and Natalie's room.
Katie up in her loft...playing her DS
When we went looking for an RV we decided to go with a Toy Hauler instead of one with an extra bedroom.  The toy hauler will grow with us.  Right now we can use it as a bedroom...and as  you can see it fits Natalie's full size crib and then still has room for queen bunks to slide down.  Later, when the kids are bigger and we are just using it for trips we can bring bigger kid toys along with us.  :)

more views of the toy room.  There is even a half bath.  The view on the bottom is right next to the sliding glass door.  Above is Katie's loft and in the back is a door that folds down so you can drive in toys.  it also can be used as a deck with a gate that goes all the way around.  The 2 queen bunks are up right now but at night we can slide one down and that is where Nicholas sleeps.  So, during the day it is our playroom! 
The Master bedroom.  Jason and I have a queen bed.  There isn't much room beyond the bed....but we are cozy! The mirror doors is the only cloest in the RV...this was a BIG adjustment.  Getting 5 people's clothing into one closet....well, I had to be organized!

Our cozy bed
The closet...each kid has their own plastic drawer with a few things hung.  Jason and I have items hung.  We also have a storage unit off base....this was a must because we had some items in the house we just couldn't get rid of.  Also, Jason has a LOT of military uniforms....he needs a whole closet just for those.  So, the next best thing was to store the ones he is not using until he needs them. 
And here is my dresser. I had to have a way to organize the computer stuff and all the school stuff that comes home in the kids folders....this is my system.  right now...it works. 

So, this is how we are living!  our system makes us stay organized and picked up because as you can see there is not much room to have things out.   :)
