Settling in!

We are almost settled...we have had a very busy week! We are successfully unpacked; everything minus a few last minute things are put away in their new places, the boxes are broken down and waiting for pickup, the thousand pounds of packing paper have been taken away by the sanitation department! The only thing left is to hang curtains, put together the outside play equipment, and organize things a bit! With each move things get easier in one way (we work well together, and know what needs to get done), but things also get harder (an extra child here and there make things busier). We had to take a lot of time to stop and play and to occupy these busy boys to keep them out of trouble and to keep them happy!

Eli was quite a helper...especially in the kitchen. Everytime I turned around he was into a cupboard emptying the contents that I just put in...

The boys saw me unwrap the craft bin and we had to take an immediate "painting" break!

We headed out one afternoon to a small local park. There was a pond, ducks...and lots of bugs!!

Zach piled up in some packing paper - believe it or not, that was from 2 boxes...It's amazing how a piece of china can be wrapped in just one piece of paper, but a small plastic spice bottle can be wrapped in a dozen! Nothing was broken, so I really can't complain!!
