Packing Day

Today the movers came out to start packing. The way they worked can be described in one word: fast! Leilani didn't stop talking to them, she was quite excited to have a brand new, semi captive audience. I can't believe the amount they got done, and I must say, it was so nice not having to do it all myself. We will be living off pbjs for the rest of the week, but there are worse things to live off.

Leilani played on the iPad, watched Dora, stared at the now-packed sucker fish and ran around. She thoroughly enjoyed herself. Natalia, on the other hand, didn't seem too crazy about it all. She seemed rather bored, being stuck all in one area with unvarying scenery. Besides all the noise. The tape was awfully loud and screechy.


School's on hold for the foreseeable future. I just don't see how we're to get any done with all the chaos and craziness. Hopefully we'll find a house quickly! And hopefully the trips not too long. Leilani's new game is burrowing through the boxes in the small tunnels only she can find. Hopefully that'll make up for the fact that all her toys are packed. We'll see.


That was on Monday, today, Wednesday, they're packing the truck. We spent yesterday and this morning cleaning. After everything's out of here, we're going to clean the carpets and finish everything up, and go stay in a hotel. Jeremy found both the personal DVD players, so the girls spent the morning on the couch (while it remained) watching their DVDs. The whole thing was quite surreal. Leilani had a few moments where she was just a bit frantic, like when they were taking out her horses and kitchen, but otherwise she was fantastic. Natalia had her own moment - a huge poo all up her back. By ten she was in her second outfit of the day. She also tried bananas, peaches and raspberries this morning. She ate more of that than anything to date, I can't decide if that's because she loved it, or because she just really wanted to eat. This little girl loves having "big people" type foods. She also enjoyed snuggling in to me and watching the movers carrying boxes and walking back and forth. Leilani seemed to prefer trying to figure out how to do the scallywag Backyardigans style.


Once again, I must say, it was nice not having to do any of the moving ourselves, and just watch the boxes disappear. It's also quite strange, our hour being empty of everything. We plan on taking off in the next couple of days. It's been quite an eventful and fun year here. I'm looking forward to what the next year in a new city brings!
