Movers

The movers will be here in another two hours or so. I"m very sad to be packing up our home. I guess my "home" is where Joe, Ellie, and the dogs are, but I'm still sad.

More on the Movers

The house is now about 60% packed. There is no way it will take them until all day tomorrow. They will probably be done today. While this is good, I guess, it makes the planning part of me frustrated. We could have had it all done Monday and had Ellie's party at our house. Plus, it's not like our stuff is going to arrive any faster since they won't take it away until Monday or Tuesday.

I know, first world problems and all.

Even More on the Movers

I have just finished taking about 57 batteries out of about 17 baby toys. The movers also won't take anything liquid (bye-bye bar!), candles, lightbulbs, keys, and money. It's the liquid that gets expensive. Besides the alcohol, they won't take cleaning supplies and any opened bottles (oils, shampoo, cooking sherry, etc.) This is why moving is expensive.

I'm totally packing a box of expensive liquids, batteries, and candles tonight after they leave.

ION, Ellie learned to go up the stairs today. We have two stairs between our living room and sunroom. She can only go up one, but I think that's pretty good considering that she can't crawl (and thus doesn't really get the hands and knees thing). It's a good thing she's entertaining herself with stairs because the only toy she has is a handful of poker chips I found upstairs.
