Slowly, ever-so-slowly, I am getting pictures together and uploaded. You can see pictures of the inside of the house here in our folder at SmugMug.
I do have a fairly legitimate reason for being so behind on getting pictures posted. Our stuff arrived on Thursday morning. We were ecstatic to see our driver and the moving truck. They were here at about 7:45am. Around 9:30 Tommy, Anthony and I left to head to their school. When we went to enroll them on Wednesday we found out that the school was having their make up picture day on Thursday so we decided to take advantage. We dropped off their registration packets and got their pictures taken and headed back to the chaos.
The movers were done right around noon. About 2 1/2 hours faster than it took them to load everything up. We think everything arrived safe and sound. We did catch that they didn’t unload the top of the bakers rack, so they looked for that before they left. Now comes the much anticipated unpacking the boxes to see our how our packers thought it was appropriate to pack things. It’s been amazing to see the things they decided to wrap, like baggies, but not pictures. They left whole rubbermaid storage bins full, but emptied photo storage boxes and let the pictures float around aimlessly in the boxes. They left an array of things they wouldn’t pack, but yet we found quite a few similar items packed.
I was so careful to place the hardware for all of our curtains in a labeled baggie, the hardware for our bed in a baggie (appropriately labeled) and yet another labeled baggie with Alex’s bed hardware. I was almost in tears when I came across the baggies in a box, empty. Yes, empty. Apparently it was pertinent that they empty the baggies into the packing paper and wrap it up. Fortunately they dumped each baggie into a separate paper, however, we think all the odds-n-end hardware pieces we found lying around the house after they left might have been from Alex’s bed.
The boys start school tomorrow. Lucky kids had 2 weeks off from school and will have a 6 day weekend. We are taking off on Thursday morning to head to Phoenix and will come back on Monday. Though the boys school is closed on Monday and Tuesday for Veteran’s Day.
