Moving Daze
It is a sort of daze I'm in during this time of organizing and packing and preparing the new house. I thought I would just share a little picture journal of this whole process. Some of it is impressive and exciting (at least I think so. :) ) and some of it is rather boring and well, real. Ha. This is life right now.
Last week painting sealant on the bathroom grout.
Finishing some knitting projects
Fingerless gloves for the boys, here are Liam's
 
A sweater for Shane! (we won't talk about how long it took me to make this) And as I finish this sweater that completes all the knitting and crochet projects I had going. That's pretty amazing if you know how many I have going usually. :) ....I started one last night, let's see if I can just stay with it.
Getting the little "garden" trimmed up. It looks pretty pitiful here because the grass was so long that when we cut it, underneath it was getting quite brown. (and of course the never ending battle to keep up with laundry)
Here's our lovely pepper plant that has turned into a little tree. Beside him is the baby but both are full of peppers that are green right now but will turn a bright orange-red when ripe.
These are SPICY! (slurp)
Washing and re-doing curtains for the new windows
Other things not pictured include the boys and I taking apart a bunk bed, packing up DVDs and books, going through the kitchen cupboards to throw things away or organize them...now my kitchen is ready to pack up when the time comes...maybe in another week?
On the "To do" list now:
Mending before I put away the sewing machine.
Write thank yous before we move and forget all about them.
Paint a few walls around here that need it: boys room, stairwell, etc.
Shuck some dried corn we have, clean and dry it before storing it or giving some away.
Toast peanuts and peel skins off to make peanut butter.
Spend some time with Shane at the new house seeing what things the boys and I can do to free him up to do other things. Today his has some little friends helping sweep and the electrician is putting in as much wiring as we can afford right now. The bathroom is the first room to have a light and a switch!
I am thankful today:
Thank you, Lord for giving me the time to be able to organize things for the move so moving day doesn't have to be as confusing.
Thank you, Father for a hardworking husband who is doing a GREAT job getting our house ready to move in.
And thank you for Your provision this past year for this house! It's amazing to think that last year at this time there was only a foundation!
