Humming along

Incase some of you are wondering how things are going around here- they are coming along. I've been packing different areas every day (as well as cleaning them!) and now we are getting to the point where the kids are opening my boxes to get their 'stuff' out. That wasn't a happy discovery on my part. Today, I plan on going out a purchasing a few larger sized boxes to fit some of the photo frames I have.
Does anybody know if i need to empty the kids dressers or just tape the drawers shut?? I guess I should make a phone call to the moving company.
Ken flies in on Friday (16th) and the movers come to pick up our stuff on Tuesday (the 20th) so we could possibly be in the new place by next friday (the 23rd) but I'll find out what day the movers will arrive at the new place when they come to pick up our stuff.
One of the kindergarten Moms had a farewell party for Paige and all of her school friends were there. Paige and I both thought it was pretty special. Nolan thinks all of his friends are coming with us- but he's only 3 so he'll bloom where he's planted without a problem. Actually Paige is also very good at that even though I'm sure there will be many tears at first. That girl absolutely loves her friends.
Speaking of Friends, mine are sure making leaving hard. So far, several have volunteered to clean my place after we are gone which is soooo over and above the call of duty- i can't even put it into words. I'm hoping to have most of the place cleaned (hide my shame) but I'm sure there will be paint touch ups or something that will require attention. Would leaving my oven for them be considered rude?? Kidding!!
I should get a move on, the day is going to get away from me- today we I slept in and was nearly late getting the kids off to school- first time for everything!!

Later gaters,

Things heard on mothers day...

Me: "Nolan, do you have to go pee? Go pee."
Nolan: as he does the peepee dance, "No, I don't. I'm not whining about it."
