Packing, Packing & More Packing!

I need a break from packing so I'm blogging/venting. We packed our dishes yesterday and switched to paper goods. Most of our clothes are packed as well as our other belongings. We're tripping over boxes and at Walmart almost daily for one thing or another because after June 23rd we'll be homeless/nomadic until the next parsonage opens up on July 6th. We will be camping various places durring those few weeks and our stuff will be in storage so we keep remembering things we'll need.

The kids have been "helping" us pack. I'm glad they want to help but it takes 3x as long to pack anything and about 5 minutes to label a box that would normally take about 10 seconds.

I am depressed and excited about the move all at once.... maybe I'll collect my feelings and blog about that before we pull out of town...

Anyway... a couple cute photos from nap time one day last week:

I walked in to check on our daughter at nap time just to find this. She had stolen things from the bathroom (which is right across the hall from her door) and made this mess. When I walked into the room she said "Mommy, I am sooo willy, willy, sorry." (I actually thought it was kinda funny... it reminded me of my niece who used to do that all the time when she was little.)I cleaned her up and changed her bedding and then walked in to check on our son and (no kidding) this is how I found him. Naked except for this dress vest and Mickey in it. That was an interesting day. One of those days you don't finish cleaning up the last mess before they were making another one.
Ok, well, back to packing. I'll probably blog once more before our move and then I won't be near a computer until after July 6th. But then I will up date everyone on our travels and move.
