Some snaps and notes from our moving days…

8am Eyeliner is wonky.  I really could use a shower but husband called to confirm the plan for the piano placement.  So instead I straighten my hair, fill the to go mug, and head over to the new house.

 

10:30  Kids move from doing schoolwork upstairs to an empty bedroom

 …while we tag team checking in boxes and Alannah directs mover traffic in the lower level

 11am  First casualty, a big green glass demijohn bottle. Sigh.

Some comic relief

noon lunch break.  

Alannah drives Moira to work.   Husband and I muse about the possiblity of nodding off. 

3:30pm three books randomly fall out of a box.  One happens to be the title an adult son asked me to please read.  (Soon, I promise)

4pm B is worn out.  Abbie is reveling in that moment when you find the box with your toys. 

5pm A child reports, "I hear swearing in a bunch of different languages," which confirms my hunch that they have begun to move the piano. God bless them.  That was no picnic.

7:30pm   Take out pizza and salad for the family. Make a cold meat and fruit plate for myself. 

Now comes the unpacking.
