We're moved in.

We moved into our new house on Saturday. Exhausting. I wish I'd found a babysitter for C. since it was next to impossible to pack with him around. He really wants to be held these days. He can really roll, too. On moving day I put him on a blanket in the middle of an empty room and went into the next room. I came back shortly and couldn't see him! He had rolled so far!

Tonight J. is at the old house cleaning it out. I gave both kids baths tonight. That's so physically exhausting.

I'm looking forward to having time to work on this house. So many things to do besides unpacking. Curtains, etc.Pin It

We get the keys today!!!!

Yipppeeeee! We get the keys to our house today!! How exciting!! We're meeting our realtor at the house at 4 pm.

Rebecca watched A. this morning and C. napped for an hour. I got lots of packing and labelling done.

It's even sunny today which is so great.Pin It

Signed papers for our house today

J and I signed the papers today for our house. We hope to close tomorrow. Unreal. It still doesn't seem real. Our neighbour watched our toddler which was a big blessing. I can't imagine him sitting through all that.

Packing is going OK. It is hard getting much done with 2 kids at home.

We're moving Saturday. We're going to Mary's for Thanksgiving.Pin It

Bad day - feeling down

I had a bad day. Sunday wasn't the best either. I still have a sinus infection. Going to the doctor for antibiotics tomorrow. Both kids have colds. A. is really trying my patience. I find myself getting very angry and frustrated with him. He whines so much, repeats one phrase over and over, and sometimes ignores me when I ask him to do something or come to me.

The move has me worried and stressed.

I'm sad that my parents continue to resist coming to visit and when they do come it is for the shortest possible time. It really hurts me that they don't want to spend more time with their grandchildren. They are missing out on C's development. I don't know why they can't see that the best way they could help with our move is to help watch the kids before, during and after the move. I could ask them that flat out but I don't want to risk beign disappointed for the hundreth time.Pin It

Time for a photo

Halloween

A. wore his costume in the end. He resisted it when we did a "trial run" on Saturday when I bought myself a costume (which I never wore). We went to trick or treating at J's work. We planned on going to the Halloween party there but it had already ended when we got there - about 4:30. Pretty lame.

He gradually got the hang of the trick or treating concept. At first he wouldn't accept treats. He found that scary (someone putting a treat in his basket). At one person's door they had a bowl on the floor and he dumped the whole thing on the floor! He eventually said trick or treat (his version)and said thank you and accepted treats or took one.

We also trick or treated on our street. Several not home/not answering. I think not answering when you have the lights on and the curtains open and are sitting at the dining room table is very lame. An older man had a bucket of pennies and dimes he was giving out. I thought that was fun. We got treats from 3 houses on our street.

We had about 15 trick or treaters at our house. Mainly older kids.Pin It
