We are in the middle of the move. Rob pushed our big move day back a week, because we are running behind due to the weather and things in general just being icky. Then today our dryer breaks. The drum isn't spinning. Rob's fixed it before, but he is thinking that he won't fix it until we move. The reason is that the way the washing machine and dryer are in our current place, makes it a complete and utter pain to pull them out. That means Rob doesn't want to fix it until we move. So off to a laundromat I go.
The last week was long. Kids were out of school for three days. And everyone was going crazy. Caleb kept asking when he could go back to school, and there were lots of fights. It was crazy. We were all stir crazy. Totally and completely stir crazy.
This week should be better. At least that's what i'm hoping. The mess keeps coming in waves, but that's what happens when you move, right? At least I hope so. We are doing a great job of purging and even found a way to get rid of toys. We found a charity that will take them. So we can cut back on the toys. I've even purged my books. (Oh the tragedy--but it's a good thing!)
Jacob's doing great on potty training. He either tells me or takes care of it himself. Life is much easier with no diaper changes. Ahh the joy--no more diapers. Ever!
Caleb got bumped up to a more advanced gymnastics class. He's super excited, and I'm excited for him. He is so fun--he is so awesome!
Beth is doing well. She's entering the science fair this week. It should be fun and exciting. At least I hope so. She's also in the middle of a great story that she wants to enter in the PBS story contest!
Have a great week!

So sorry you have to go to the landermat. Didn't we buy you that dryer and washer? The kids sound like they are doing well. Yes Jacob is a Big boy now
So sorry about the dryer. Maybe Eldon can help fix it when we come.Having to go to the laundromat is such a pain! Glad Caleb got moved up.This crazy weather has thrown all of us behind.Proud of Jacob!!!
GO CALEB!! GO JACOB!! GO BETH!! So sorry about your dryer, that IS a pain.
Doesn't purging feel good.?! I found out this weekend (YW service project) that Urban Ministries in Durham also takes children's toys and clothes for homeless families that they help. Since Rob goes to work in Durham that might be a good place to take them in the future also. It was pretty eye opening to see all of the families that were homeless with children :(
That's a great idea Heather. I even know where that place is, so it wouldn't be hard to drop toys off. I'd feel better about giving the toys to people that need them =)
We might do half there and half to the other charity. Seriously we are getting rid of some toys--they are getting gone! Thanks Heather!
