We're Here!!

And what a trip it's been. More later, right now I got to get to bed. But we're safe and sound and the kids are getting back into a routine. Lil Guy is learning to say his Great Grandpa's German name "Opapa" there's two papa's because he's already got an Opa and "Grossa (sp?) Opa" is just too much for a lil guy to say. All day he's been saying "Opapapapapa".

Lil Big Guy spent the day at Oma's and had a blast. I talked to him on the phone and he reported they were doing a Spiderman puzzle that was "sooo big" and had "a whole lot of pieces".

We went furniture shopping today - whew, exhausting. And so expensive for particle board, sheesh! I think I'll stick to antique shops and garage sales where you can get real wood for a fraction of the price of even the particle board. We'll see how it goes.

That's all for now.

Scared Poopless

We're taking off tomorrow for California, so if I'm not on here for awhile you know why. We got our first taste of drama the other night, so PLEEEASE pray for no drama. Oh man I can't handle that stuff. *sigh* Off we go. See you in Cali!!!

Hello? Hello? Anybody there? Echo!

There's no furniture left in the house. The beds, table, and washer/dryer went into storage today. The boys are sleeping on mattresses and us on either the sleeper sofa (which our renter is going to use) or an air mattress. It's a toss up. The boys have gone wild! My hubby says they have "more room" to get into trouble. They are enjoying the open empty space and utilizing it to the best of their abilities.

My Lil' Guy got a hold of the baby wipes today and I saw him going back and forth behind me to get new ones. After a few trips I asked him what he was doing and he looks at me with his big brown eyes and says "Cleaning that bam-bam." He was talking about Hubby's drum in the corner. Too cute : ) .

The other day I cleaned out the guest bathroom to put in the boxes going to California and told the boys not to use that bathroom anymore. My Big Guy says, "I'm going to miss my bathroom." Awwww. I told him I know but you will have a new one at Grandma & Grandpa's.

We said good-bye to our good friends we've known since their first and our second was little tiny on Saturday. She cried as we left and Big Guy gave them hugs. She gave me her favorite blanket to "remember her by". I was silent all the way home. I am sad. I will miss my friends. Another life to make.

Moving Out

The place is empty, bare. My hubby said before they moved all the furniture out into storage, "It's going to look sad in here real soon." I probably won't be on here much in the next week - the furniture's out, but we still got to get the beds, dining room table, and washer & dryer out the day before we go. Plus we still need to pack up the rest of the stuff we're taking to Cali. And clean. Lots to do. Our target date has moved up - to the morning of next Wednesday as we're ahead of schedule and my hubby's last day is Monday any way. After that I probably won't be on for the next week or so as we'll be on the road and unless we have a wireless connection somewhere along the way I won't be online. It's going to be an adventure (in a sing-song tone). Yee-haw! That'll be the last time I say that for awhile, make that the first and last :D .
