Moving Day

Sept 24th  was our moving day!
With the delayed closing our moving day got delayed as well. We were still able to use our movers but not till late afternoon and the truck we were getting from the Realtor for two days was switched to a U-haul for the morning. On our way to get the U-haul, we stopped by the new house to take a look around. We then encountered our first bump of the day.  We could only get into the garage! The door to the house had been locked when it should have been left open. Happily that was fixed by the time we were coming back with the U-haul. The next bump was having to cut down some tree limbs to get the truck into the driveway without damage. We (with the help of Brian and Tiff (thank you so much!)) were able to quickly get the boxes in the garage into the truck (so glad that I moved a lot out there) and some from the office and closet. We got a good load in before we needed to unload (Brian and Tiff had a shower to get to, we need to return the truck and get back for naps and cable apt).

 The afternoon was quite. The boys slept till they woke up, I finished packing, started cleaning and fill the trunk of my car with clothes. Bill was at the new house with the TV waiting for the cable guy to show up.

Lots and lots of movies would entertain the boys for the day.

So bump 3 &4 - The movers were stuck in traffic and wouldn't be there till about 6 pm and Bill was still waiting long after the two hour window given.

The movers were later than expected but did a wonderful job. Bill picked up dinner for us (still no cable guy).

Hungry boys eating around 6:30pm. They did really well staying out of the way of the movers and playing on their own.

I got my truck unloaded and Bill finally got a call from the cable guy. He went back to meet him (with stuff loaded into his truck)
The movers got most of our stuff in the truck in one load. I don't remember if it was 8:30 or 9:30 when we left to unload. The boys finally got to bed around 11/ 11:30 pm and the movers finished just before midnight.  Bill and I weren't done though. We still had to get the rest of the stuff out of the house and finish cleaning. I had gotten the upstairs done while the movers were loading but had the downstairs left. It was a late late night. We finally got to sleep around 4 am and the boys didn't sleep in. Sunday was a very laid back day with naps and early bedtimes.

Happinings

A lot has been going on so here's a little catch up:

Early September, Logan's poster for school was due.

Aiden is getting really good with his name.

September 21st swim lessons started again and this time Logan is in a class too. He is in the same pool as Aiden which is nice for me.  This was also the week of our delayed closing and moving.

All month I've been packing,

 and packing.

The boys got a moving gift.

First Day of School

Getting ready to leave home.

Aiden is a Pelican, going 4 days a week. He had no problems of course. There is a new routine for him when he gets into his class. He has to put his lunch box on a cart outside the room, hang his bag on the hook with his name and put a name tag into a basket to check himself in before going to the activity at the tables. I got some pictures and said good bye.

Logan is an Angelfish, going 2 days a week. He did really well. He wanted me to carry him out of Aiden's class but was fine when I put him down in his classroom. He looked at what was on the table while I put his bag up but then went over to play with the train table. He even said no when I asked for a kiss goodbye. I gave him one anyway. I don't think he even noticed that I left and then came back in to retrieve keys for another mom.

At the end of the day I had two tired boys but they had fun. Logan had his pacifier for about half the day. He got tired and it hit him all of a sudden that I wasn't there.  Had a good day though. Wanted to be held when he got to me and rested his head on my shoulder (tired boy).
