Less than a week . . .

Ok, so it's so very weird that we have less than a week left in our house. This whole process has been so long, but also gone by very quickly.

And the whole thing is bittersweet. I have loved our house. From the moment I walked into it for the first time I loved it. I've had so much fun making it ours, decorating the rooms, working on the yard (that's Lance's part) but we just need a bit more space. I'm very excited about the new house but also sad to leave this one.

We're 99% packed - it's pretty bare bones around here. Poor Brett only has a basket of toys to play with. But, it's kinda good for him. He's playing with some toys he hasn't played with in a while - his Elmo's Restaurant, his cars, and a few other things that are in the basket. I'm actually working on cleaning now. As I finish a room, as best it can be, I'm cleaning - drawers, shelves, vacuuming. The kitchen is packed - I just need to clean the hardwoods. The playroom is packed - just need to vacuum. Brett and Claire's rooms are packed until moving day - I'll put one box in each room for all the miscellaneous things that need to be left out until Saturday. Our room is packed - I have my box sitting on my sink ready to have the lid put on it. I still need to clean the bathrooms - anyone up for that job? But other than that we're ready!

Stay tuned for the housewarming invites. They'll be in the moving announcements that will arrive shortly after we move. If you live out of town, I won't be sending you a housewarming but email me if you want one anyway!

Now, back to work!

We're moving!

Life has been busy lately. I know I've neglected the blog but I've had a lot going on. And honestly, the last thing I want to do with free time is spend it on the computer.

We're getting ready to move in less than two weeks! So excited but also a bit sad. The house we've called home for the past six years is not going to be ours in 12 days. The house we've spent so much time in. The only home our children have ever known. The place where we've made such good friends. It makes me very sad and nervous to move.

But, I have to keep telling myself that it's the right decision. The highway in our backyard is getting busier every day and the great room is getting smaller every day. Two reasons to move right there.

In case you haven't seen the house, here's the link to the pictures:

Hopefull once we move I'll be able to get back into a routine and take time to post my POTD. I really like the idea of posting it here to have as a reminder.

Ok, I'm off to blow dry my hair. Claire is sleeping, Brett is watching Dragon Tales and eating a snack. I don't have a ton of time. Can't spend it on the pc!
