This will be a quick one ... Jade has been in a High School Musical Camp all week and they put together a little dance today for the parents but she was in the back and I could hardly see her because I guess the teacher put the older girls that knew the moves better in the front ... but it was cute all the same, I was hoping to have something to post here but I guess we can't be lucky every time.
Ok just to update you, tomorrow we start with the big move, our Pack Rat arrived today, that is a big container like box that is now in our driveway, it gets packed with all the stuff that we want to put in storage for the next 6 odd months, Dave has to pack it really tight so nothing can move and break ... good luck to him, that looks like a big task.
My best friend Tina is taking Jade tomorrow so Dave and I can get some good moving done, I have moved a stack to the apartment already, I think Dave will be surprised when he goes in tomorrow since he has not been in since last weekend. Tomorrow we plan on taking Jades bed and dresser and all the goodies that will go in her room, some of her toys will be in there too since the apartment is small and there really isn't place for a playroom. Hopefully by the time Jade is there again I will have made her room as pretty as can be for our brief stay there, just want it too look nice and cozy for her :-)
We will also move our dining room table tomorrow, this probably should have gone in the Pack Rat but I really just don't want to take the risk of it being damaged in any way and we need a table in the apartment so I just bought a table pad to put on it so the every day wear and tear doesn't show. Then we will move one desk and two office small cupboards too and I think that might be it for the day, maybe some deck furniture, our little balcony is small but the table and maybe one or two chairs should fit.
Next weekend is the final move, then we will move our bedroom set or some of it anyway, our lounge suit and the monstrosity of a Tv we have and the table it is on. Then one or two other things and the rest will have to go in the Pack Rat, golly I hope it all fits.
We have already parted with a bunch of stuff, much of wish I just gave to the Goodwill store, but we are finally parting with all our baby stuff and it breaks my heart to sell all that stuff that I have kept clean and safe since Jade was done with it but I am not even sure why we hung onto it so long but I am selling all that now, probably won't get much for it but hopefully something that we can put towards something in our new house ... hold thumbs it all sells.
Our closing date was moved forward one day to the 28th since we are still planning on going on vacation the 29th, Dave still doesn't know where we are going but since we have been there before it won't be a huge surprise for him but hopefully the break will do us all good. We have decided to surprise Jade too and I don't think I mentioned this before ... my mind is all over so excuse me if I did but we are taking Tina's little boy Louis with us on vacation, this should be interesting, having two kids, him and Jade are a week apart in age and they get along so well so hopefully all will go well, I am sure it will. Hopefully the two of them play so well together it gives Dave and I a bit of a break we will rather supervise the play than have to do all the playing ourselves :-) I am excited, I hope we have a good trip but yeah that is why I brought the closing up one day.
Jade and Louis will be in school that day, that Friday the 29th and I have no intentions of taking them out early on their first week of school so we might have to leave late on that Friday which won't be great but I am sure it will all work out well. Hopefully in this next week Jade will get her school assigned teacher and her staggered Kindergarten date, she will only got two days that first week of school as far as I know but hopefully soon I will be certain. The Tuesday after Labor Day is their first full week at school, actually it's a 4 day week which is probably good but you know what I mean.
It's going to be crazy between now and after the Labor Day weekend so I don't think I will post again, with all the moving and cleaning and shows I am still doing plus work at the church starts up the 27th again and the 28th Jades gymnastics starts up again ... golly it's going to be a crazy week, hold thumbs all goes well :-) Pray that the next house inspection goes well or we might be in trouble.
Ok well that's it for now, been a long day it's time to veg on the sofa for the remainder of the evening :-) Bye for now.
