Sale Pending & Packing Progress

It is now time to kick it up a notch, as we have a couple who want to buy our house!

It will be a few weeks before we close, but it is time to get serious about tossing,

recycling, donating and packing the keepers to put into storage. The tricky part is, we

 will be living with Erin and Co. for a couple of months, so we will be packing most

 everything and putting it all in storage.

So, you may be thinking,

"Why are you blogging when you should be packing?"

Good question! You see, it has been a couple of weeks since I've packed

anything, and I have to get back into "packing" mode. So yesterday I began by filling a bag

 with trash and a couple of  bags of clothes to donate.

My heart wasn't really in it, because it was a much cooler

day and I wanted to savor time on the front porch.

Good excuse?!

So, Erin and the boys came over this morning to help me get a few boxes packed,

thinking 2 heads are better than 1,

and this is one of the results of that adventure:

We started with 2 empty boxes.....

that suddenly sprouted feet!

Oh, my, there are arms and legs

and even a smile!

Eli and Jack, my Packing Helpers!

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime and then

the boys and their mom were off to the pool.

I know I will have to get serious about packing soon,

but I'm glad we just had fun laughing and visiting.

It was cool enough this morning to sit on the front porch

and visit with Erin, sipping coffee that Sara got us on her way

to check out her new classroom.

More about that on another post.

And maybe a few pirate photos

of a 3-year old little girl.

Stay tuned!
