Preparations

I heard from so many friends after they move that they wish they had enjoyed what they had here more before they left. Perhaps I should take that more to heart, but I'm convinced that the closer you get to moving, the less you are able to sit back and enjoy much of anything. At least for me anyways. I'm in a constant state of anticipation for what's to come and overwhelmed with what I need to do now. I'm a bit of a scatterbrain these days.

It doesn't help when you and your kids get sick. Rowan got pink eye a few weeks ago and Nadia followed a week later and added an ear infection to the mix. Rowan has also been complaining about ear pain a lot lately and the doctor has been finding consistent fluid in his ear that isn't going away. It sounds like he'll be getting tubes in his ears a few weeks before we move. Count on kids to make life interesting!

Beyond getting sick, we have had a lot going on here. We've had to prime a few of the rooms that I painted to avoid extra paint charges when we move out. Rowan was only more than willing to help out.




Nadia decided to take advantage of the opportunity and do a little "fingerpainting."



Between packing and being sick, we haven't been able to get out much. We haven't been missing much though since April has been a bit of a miserable month as far as weather goes. I went to my first garage sale this week in pouring rain and weather advisories, but it was totally worth it.

Otherwise we have to get our wiggles out inside.



Pretty soon he won't be laughing when she can really pin him down.
