It works!

The pump works! And it turned out that we didn't feel stupid AND we didn't have to take it in-the best of both worlds I guess. The dealer said it sounded like an air lock-some kind of bubble in the pipes preventing the pump from being primed-and gave us a few things to try to get the bubbles out. They didn't work. But I did manage to get it working by running the pump while it was hooked up to the hose. The dealer didn't sound too confident that this actually fixed it, but hey, it sure looked like it to me. At any rate, the pump works and it didn't cost us anything to fix it.

We are still trying to figure out furniture arrangement. I feel like there is enough room there, it's just how to make the best use of the space. We have basically three areas to work with, and they need to be our dining area, kids' sleeping area, living room seating, toy storage, and play area. We have a folding table, folding chairs, and collapsible beds. We'd like to not have to fold up the table every time the kids need to sleep. And we need some comfortable furniture for the living room-we have recliners or a sofa, but I don't think we can have both. So many possibilities.

When we got ready to go to the new house today, I think Ian thought we were moving in. He refused to leave without his new bed (which he still refuses to sleep in) and was quite upset when we left without Rinnah's new bed. He went to the playroom and picked about three toys, and he was ready to go! I'm glad he only needs the basics. :) He was kind of disappointed when we came home for lunch.
