jon gave us strict orders to stay out of the movers' way. this means, "find a way to fill your day outside of either house, please!" movers were due to arrive this morning at 8, so after our 20 pound 6am alarm clock woke us up, we quickly started packing the rest of the house- bathrooms, kitchen, lucy's room [which i had held off on until the last possible minute]. lucy and i were out of the house at 8, dropped charlie at my mom's [who a. is conveniently visiting my gramma this week- just kidding :) she's actually had that trip planned since before we'd even put our house on the market- and b. lives 5 miles from our new house, so it's been really nice to have her home as a median between our 2 houses over the past couple of weeks- this week especially]. lucy and i headed to our f a v o r i t e little local coffee shop for a cinnamon tea for me and a 'nana muffin for her first thing :)
and followed it with a trip to the mall play place- gotta love free kid entertainment!
here's why i love social media: i logged onto facebook this morning and saw that funky mama [aka the beautiful, talented, inspiring krista eyler who i met when i was 10 and sang at my wedding 12 years later:)] was giving an 11am concert at the lenexa community center! lucy had an absolute BALL! and it was a perfect distraction from the mess of the move :)
...as always, nothing compares to dora [or as lucy lovingly calls her "da-do"]
we had a pizza lunch, dropped off my carload at the new house, and lucy's now napping peacefully at meme's while i take a few minutes to sit here and rest the basketball that i'm carrying around.
tonight's our first night staying at the new house- fingers crossed that miss lu and charlie adjust well!
