Adventures in pack out!

So Tuesday our movers showed up to pack our house.  Nana was kind enough to watch the kids so they wouldn't be in the way.  I had fun all day texting the girls pictures of the house being packed.  Their reactions were quite funny. 

The pack day went pretty well.  For the first time we had someone break a dish while packing it and one guy even dropped our big table to now we have a smashed in corner. So I hope we won't find major damage on the other end.  As usual the movers packed a few things they said they wouldn't, so I was expecting to still have a few things like my handsoaps in the bathrooms! I guess we will use dishsoap this week to wash our hands.

They also packed our plunger which guaranteed 3 of our toilets would back up the very next day causing me to have to go buy another one.  So basically all the normal things with a move.

On Thursday the truck showed up to load all of our stuff.  The kids got to hang around for that.  They helped their dad take apart the beds and the last of any other furniture. One of the packers even let Camie and Emily help him wrap and label bed parts. He was very nice. They finished up late Thursday afternoon and our truck drove away.

We had our first picnic dinner.  It will be interesting living a week with no furniture.  The kids don't seem to be too affected by the empty rooms.  We have all the legos in our old school room which makes for a nice big play area.  It is so funny that they keep asking for things and my response is always "it's packed up!" I am sure they are already looking forward to having their stuff back.
