Today was our first day at the house. It was pretty good - a little rough around the edges, but good. We played the game I hate. It's called:" Is what I need in this box? Nope. How about this box? Nope." On and on, all day long. We also played the "walk in circles around the room, trying to remember where the heck you put 'whatever' ." Good exercise, but frustrating. Plus, you just look plain silly.
As far as unpacking goes I, personally, like to conquer each room promptly. With three small children, a husband, various cable men, and general chaos, it took a lot longer to accomplish anything. But, the kitchen is almost complete! Yay! Once that is done, I will breathe a huge sigh of relief.
On another note, this is Eliza's first night in her own room. I am so sad! Like really, really sad. I know, I'll get over it but still. She's my baby. And I liked hearing her deep, sweet breaths each night.
Tomorrow.... The bedrooms. They don't stand a chance.
So, you want to hear about something other than moving?
Um, I'll work on that.

Congratulations on your first day there Andrea!!! Sorry you have to play all the "games" to find what you need. that would be frustrating...just remember...this part is temporary and you will have things all put away in no time! :o)
AWWW!! I totally understand your feelings about Eliza. J used to sleep in a cradle in our room when he was wee little..and then when the time came to move him into his own room...i had such a hard time!!!! xoxo
Thought of you yesterday and covered you in some prayer. Hope today is a least a little more organized:)
so glad you're finally "home"! well, home, with an insane amount of stuff to do... but you're an organized mama, it'll be done in no time!

I love hearing about your move :)
You're like me- I like to have the house all unpacked, pictures hung, everything in place in the first week. Or sooner! Living out of boxes is NO FUN! Sounds like you have it all under control. You'll have that house turned into a home in no time.
Boo-hoo about Elisa! I'd be missing her too. Nice that she gets her won room though! That's exciting!
Umm, that's her own room, not "won" room. Oops! Sorry for the typo.
I'm all for prompt unpacking. Flyboy was a military brat so hes an amazing unpacker. He once set us up in two days. Granted they were long days but still!
Its so hard to make that move out of your room into their room isnt it?! but it must be conquered sometime.
Oh how I hated when my babies finally slept in their own rooms. I embrace the fact that sometimes my kids get out of bed not and come into my bed to snuggle. I don't care if it's 3 a.m., I know at some point they are going to stop coming into mommy's room at night, and that makes me sad. Enjoy the rest of your unpacking!
YAY! Day one.....over!
I too, LOVE the games. HA!
I try so hard to make sure everything is properly labeled before moving, but alas, something that is VERY important doesn't get labeled and the frustration and circle walking begins!
I enjoy hearing about you moving. Keep it coming. Madison was moved into her room at 6 weeks...Miller at 3 months....I know ridiculous.
whoohoo for unpacking! i've played that game...i don't care for it. : ) we'll be praying for quick set-up and cooperative kiddos.
I should thank you for bringing the rain with you!! It is raining for the third day in a row here, and that hasn't happened in ages.
Look out world, I may get a picture of a green lawn posted on my blog after all!
A mover once told me that if it isn't unpacked in 6 days - it will still be packed in 6 months. I think there is a little truth in that (for us anyway), and I use that bit of info to scare myself into getting settle quickly.
Oh, I don't miss looking for things in the boxes. I don't envy you lol. Good luck with getting everything unpacked!
I'm sorry you're having to put your precious baby in her own room. I know the feeling. It won't be too long before we have to put Ryan in his own room and I'm dreading it.
Oh we are supposed to unpack right away? I better get on thos eboxes that have been in the garage for the last 4 years!
Good luck with unpacking. I love to move but hate that part of it.
You sound like me, I like getting things completely unpacked straight away, especially the bedrooms, though my first room done in both these houses was the kitchen LOL
Oh man! I hope you don't get too stressed out. It will all get unpacked and put away. :) I was sad when Ozzie moved to his own room too. They grow up too fast.

what we tried to do was mark on the boxes what we put in them.
How about the game called, "I'm relaxing with a nice glass of ______ and my feet up"?
I'm with you on getting everything put away as soon as possible. Although being married to a farmer doesn't really come with a lot of relocation opportunities, I moved a lot in my 'youth'.
A mom on a mission. That house will be a home in no time!
Lucas is still in the bassinet in our room; I'm just not ready to move him yet! I remember the first night moving Kayla to the crib in her own room - she looked so so little in that big old crib (especially after being in the bassinet). I had a hart time falling asleep that night because I had to keep getting up to check on her and make sure she was ok in there all by herself :)
