What a busy day!
Mom, Sherri, Heather, the girls and I met for breakfast. YUM and organic food too. ::snort::
Heather and Krista grabbed $ and headed out in two directions to run errands for us.
Many of us worked to get the trailer cleared and cleaned.
Mike and the boys took the majority of the rest of the day dealing with dumping, winterizing and storing the trailer.
Heather and Krista took all the younger ones to the lake. What fun. This was WONDERFUL as it allowed me to FOCUS without guilt on "the list" and it gave the kids the chance to make a fun memory and not focus on the trauma that it evidently is to pack. Stacia unpacked as fast as I packed. My goal was to finish shopping and have everything packed before they arrived. I didn't quite make it...but close.
Krista worked on loading A in O and Hank the Cowdog etc on to MP3 players....we'll work on THAT some more in Seattle. I purchased them today.
Sherri, Will, Nate and Heather joined us at Mom's for dinner. Mom made some yummy brisket. We talked with the Realtor for a bit and then enjoyed unwinding and laughing with the kids and family.
Then we weighed suitcases..... (Renee in Misawa....this should give you some idea....13 suitcases...and quite a few carry ons, 7 people...)
The Girls went to their apartment with Arielle and Nolan in tow. The rest of us will bed down here. We packed suitcases into the van. The last load of laundry is in the dryer.....
We're really doing this. ::snort::
