Our home is becoming more and more cleaned out as the time to move gets closer and closer. We took a load of things home the last trip back and now Mom and Dad are taking the twins' bunk beds, the John Deere Gator, and odds and ends from our garage back to Illinois. We are going to get a new bed for the twins but we haven't decided what would be the best yet. We are considering a bunk bed with a trundle in case all three kiddos need to sleep in the same room for awhile...they do anyway...or a twin over a double. We went shopping on Friday evening for storage shelves and baskets as storage will be an issue over there. We also bought an area rug for Kaitlyn's room since none of the condos there have carpeting. Most people use area rugs but they are SO expensive there compared to here. This next week I am going to try to finish cleaning out every closet, under every bed, and the storage room so when the movers come we can tell them exactly what's going. After Thanksgiving we'll rent a storage unit and start putting things into storage that we aren't taking with us. It's such an ordeal to move 2 adults plus 3 children. I have a spreadsheet that says what toys, clothes, etc are going with us on the plane, which ones will be air shipment, which ones will be sea pack, which ones are going into storage, and which ones we are donating:)
We enjoyed a nice weekend with Dad, Mom, and Rachel. They leave tomorrow morning. Hopefully we didn't give them a present of the stomach flu. Ethan had it first early last week, than Kaitlyn on Thurs, and finally Kenton this morning. I've been washing my hands so much that they are raw!
The weather has been gorgeous - although a little more sunshine would have been nice. We were in the 70's today and tonight it still feels nice...maybe I'll stick K & K in bed and head on a walk. They are getting to stay up late since A. Rachel is here...
