Some of my helpers want to play in boxes
Some of them want to play with the toys I just packed up. Despite the numerous times we've purged toys around here there are still plenty- plenty!- of activities to choose from, but somehow Noah and Emma especially always want to play with the very trains, blocks, MagnaTiles, board games or art supplies I just happened to pack up. Every time!
"Hey look! I got one of those little hats like the ice cream men always wear in books!"
One of my helpers just likes to steal any toys that she can sink her teeth into,
or sprawl out for belly scratches at somewhat inconvenient times
We've been blessed with a plethora of moving supplies from generous friends and neighbors that are lucky enough to be on the other end of the moving adventure.
And we've started dismantling all of the pieces of home that aren't staying with the house. It's like we're hitting the rewind button on the seven years that we've spent fluffing this sweet nest, taking down decor and filling in the holes and erasing our family's personality in this house that we've called home.
It's a very bittersweet and very busy time, and we're all looking forward to the day that we can exhale in our new house, still surrounded by the chaos and boxes and mess of moving, but finally in position to settle in to our new life!
