Packing Out

It took four days for the moving company to pack everything in the house and load it into wooden crates. We survived the process. They packed the tv and dvd player last so we could still watch movies and play games. We have been finishing the pantry supplies and eating with paper plates and plastic ware. The rest we have been attempting to bless others with. I usually order food enough for my family and the crew of movers in the house. We had two or three packers there on days one through three and a crew of five on day four to load the crates. I spent some time on Friday cleaning the house and we took the weekend off and chilled at the Hotel. We have been cleaning the house and running assorted errands all this week. thankfully I have a crew of my own to help with the cleaning. Everyone contributed. Joey and Mikey were tasked with cleaning baseboards and sweeping. Bailey was sweeping, windows, kitchen cabinets, and bathrooms. Dad and I took care of the floors, oven, fridge, ceiling fans. The assignment of tasks helped to reduce the amount of whining and sibling annoyance. Today, the owner came for the walk through, and we passed. Yay!!!
Wednesday night, Mimi Donna and her kids decided to throw a kinda surprise going away party for the kids and it was sooo nice. We have moved so many times and haven't had a going away party really. It was awesome. We are going to miss the new friends we made here.
Tomorrow I have a few more errands to run, pack up the suitcases again. Saturday will be our last Sabbath here. It will be so sad. Then Sun. we will begin the new journey. I will probably be off line for a week while we adjust to the time change and get our bearings, but look for more on the continued adventures of our family.
