Packing reaching fever pitch

We move in 10 days!! I can't believe it. As we get closer to it I can't help, but feel anxious. It's a BIG move. It's not a move 2 hours away (by car) where we can still be a part of our NYC life as if we haven't moved. This is an 11 hour drive (non-stop). Our house is packed up. New things for the new house have been ordered. Clothes have been packed up. And as everyone knows..... once the clothes are packed up, it's go time. 

I'm excited and nervous. Meredith wavers between being upset about leaving & being excited about new adventures. Sean doesn't understand, but I'm sure he realizes something is going on. He's being extra affectionate with his therapists & extra cooperative. 

One thing we're finding is that there are things that aren't worth packing. Like used finger paints. I've been perusing Pinterest and have found all sorts of good things to do with the kids. One thing was to put oil & finger paints in ziploc type bags and then tape them to the window so the kids can play. Well.... my windows are to high & I only really have the ikea mirror for the kids. So we made do. 

I taped the bags using packing tape to the mirror. 

 

They had fun & it kept them busy for quite some time. FABULOUS! 

Almost completely finished packing. New adventures here we come!!!!

Guest blogger, Flat Samantha, coming soon. :)
