The move has started. The movers came today and got the ENTIRE house packed up. The kids and I left with the dog half way through the day to go to my moms, and Andy stayed back to help and supervise. He did say it was pretty sad seeing the house all packed up. Tomorrow they load, and the truck takes off on Friday morning. Fast, fast, fast. All this junk is coming on that big 'ol truck...
The boys had their first experience with the Ice Cream Man on Friday. (Yes, Ice Cream Man in February...I don't think we'll be seeing that in Minnesota) They thought it was super cool, and got ice cream with bubble gum on it!
This Saturday my dear friend and neighbor is getting married! We had a wild night out on the town for her bachelorette party. I used to pull these kind of nights ALL THE TIME (pre-kids) but now I just can't hang like the young kids! We had a ton of fun, and I can't wait for the big day.
The weather in the desert has been gorgeous lately. I find myself saying on a daily basis "go outside, enjoy this while you can" to the kids and the dog! And they have been. We have decided we will be bringing the swingset and all other "outside" toys since our new yard is fenced and big enough.
It wasn't an easy task. The housing market in Minneapolis is outrageous. Expensive, very expensive. It was a hard cold weekend. We visited just about every "suburb" in the cold weather! I even found time to sneak in a trip to Mall of America. Charlie's school will be about 3 blocks away and I just found out that Kindergarten there is only half day instead of full day-he'll be thrilled! Oh, and I came home with the nastiest cold ever-it was either Minnesota or the airplane that gave it to me...
