Our preparations for moving are going along smoothly. We've been working on the garage this week. It's probably going to be the biggest job as there are boxes that haven't been gone through since moving to The Cave! But work is moving steadily, and we've made a dent already! The kiddos have all been helping by getting their chores done on time (for the most part!) and have been organizing their rooms. We'll be packing their rooms this week. They were given one box for each room to put things into that they don't want to be without for the next two weeks. They're doing really well, all things considered. My daughter's room is probably the most difficult. Poor thing, she must have inherited her mother's "pack rat" gene.
Our kitchen and living/dining rooms are about half-packed with all knick-knacks and such packed away. My walls look strangely bare with no pictures hanging. That's always been one of the first things for me to put away in a new home. Wall hangings, family photos, things on the walls... Those touches seem to give a place a lived-in look even if you've been there for only a day or two! So guess what I'll be doing "first" in the new home!
My mum will be over tomorrow to help work on some stuff here. That'll be nice! It's always good to have help, and it's even better to have good help! She's one of the best packers I know! So we should be able to knock out a few rooms!
As for the new farm, we haven't been out in over a week or so. But I'm sure, by now, I must have reached stalker status with the neighbors as I've driven by every possible chance! It's still beautiful. I still can hardly wait to get moved in. And I'm still very much in love with it! Huzzah!!!
I leave you with a picture of our gorgeous view!
