Chaos and Tears

The packing has not been going quite as quickly as hoped. Tuesday we spent most of the day on the phone sorting out flights (which took about 4 hours longer than expected!!) so yesterday we resumed the packing with Gary packing his tools and the boys and I tackling their toys.

Every toy was looked at and they had one of five options for each. To put it in the shipping box (which they won't see for 4-6 weeks); put it in their suitcase; or their carry on bag; to place it in a box to give away or the trash. We got on well until they found toys they hadn't seen for a while, then they got distracted and wanted to play!!

Deanna had a very tough time when we placed an old broken rocking horse in the trash.


Today we attack the girls room!

Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes, Lord. Amen. I am so excited for you and your family. I admit that I have not stopped by your blog for a while. What amazing news. May the Lord prepare your hearts and minds and may the peace of God envelope your family.

Sounds like our house when we moved up here. Toys that had been ignored for years were suddenly things they just had to play with :)
