Moving In

The movers made it today with our stuff! They were very efficient, and I was glad. I farmed out Grace to one friend and AJ to another (divide and conquer, right?). But my friend could only watch AJ until about 1pm. Also, my friend called and mentioned that AJ was VERY upset about me leaving him. He finally came around when her 3.5 year old offered to play Little People with him. Pshew!

I was quite stressed last night and this morning, anticipating keeping inventory of all of the stuff, and watching AJ on top of that. I was amazed and grateful when the movers finished (paperwork and everything) by 1:00pm.

I picked up AJ and brought him to the new house. He was very excited to find his Playmobil train set and Weebles in his room. He played for an hour by himself while I unpacked all of the bathroom boxes.

So the good news: The bathrooms are finished!

The bad news: I still have about 100 boxes to unpack.

The plan: Get bedding on the beds so they're sleepable Wednesday night (when we move out of the hotel with the famed maid service and breakfast discussed previously). Hook up the TVs and VCRs and DVD players. Get some semblance of order in the kitchen, including boxes unpacked. Unpack the childrens' rooms. Unpack and organize the living room and family room. Then I'll tackle the office, master bedroom and garage.

Wish me luck!

Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be homeschooling Grace, too, while I do all this. I wonder if making her count boxes by 5's counts???? :)
