the joys of packing

Thursdays are the only day during the week where we have nothing. No preschool, No dance, Nothing. So naturally I figured that since we close on our house in less then a week I should probably start really packing.....I HATE PACKING! No really, I am not kidding when I say I would just assume throw everything away and buy all new stuff, but since I am a Dave Ramsey groupie, I know that is not practical...... so I was going to take today to really get things packed. Well, This is how it played out...
I started out simple with books and stuff.......

after a few minutes I decided we "needed" to go to the store.....
When we got home I tried again.....
Then I decided we should eat lunch.....

After we got done and cleaned up I was ready to hit packing full force......
Then I decided I should check my e-mail before I start just to make sure there was nothing really "important waiting for me"....
An hour later I started again.....
Then I decided to make this really cute pumpkin cake I saw.......

a few hours later after I realised that I am not domestic nor should I try to be, I started packing again......
One small box later I needed a break.....

Then I noticed Dan was going to be home soon so I needed to start thinking about dinner....
checked facebook...
called my grandma....
ordered a pizza (dominos 5.99 deal! Yay!)....
Texted Charly.....
Dan came home...
Went outside to chat with some friends....
Karlinda and Rae brought me a treat :) ....
Boys in the tub......
Boys asleep.....
Now blogging....
Call it A.D.D, Laziness, misuse of time, anything you want, but needless to say I didn't get a lot of packing done. Here are the products of today's "Day of Packing"....

I wont lie, I don't plan on doing much more then that tomorrow either.... but I am so super duper massively excited for our new house I can barely stand it!!

We are packing and moving too! I went to my local payless shoe store and begged for boxes because I am too cheap to pay for them. They saw how desperate I was and allowed me to take them. Fabulous boxes, so strong and sturdy! But everyday is the same, pack, pack ,pack. It took me three days this week on the kitchen alone!

Count me in on the packing (and hating it!!) too. I am so excited about the actual moving part, but packing...ick. It does force me to go through everything and kind of/sort of get organized, but I have a feeling there will be plenty of stuff thrown in bags and random boxes towards the end.

I posted a picture recently of how it is preeeetty hard to get things packed (or thrown away) and keep them that way around here. I've never done a big move with really mobile kiddos (my oldest was seven months when we moved from Houston) and I'm learning a lot!! :)

I love that pumpkin cake! Where did you find the cute tin?

Let me take the boys next time so you wont have to worry about dinner, etc. We need to get you moved so we can start up Zumba again!!
