Packing progress has been sporadic with other things going on too (read: real life) , but on average going ok.
Today I spent some time restoring order in the boys' room, which has been neglected lately. I packed a box while I was in there, then later in the day did two in Brooklyn's room and one from the hall closet. Four for today! Biggedt day yet! Tomorrow is a storytime and garden day, so I don't expect as much.
Meanwhile, I am liking having Daniel in our room, and we may just keep it that way afyer we move, especially if he (ahem) still isnt sleeping through the night by tnen. (Get with tbe program, Daniel!)

The Great Move o' 2013 - Days 1 & 2
August 6, 2004 we moved into our current home as first-time home owners and parents of a 1 year old.
Nine years (almost to the day!) and 4 kids later, we will be moving out.
Oh the task this is shaping up to be!
With a 7 week countdown I thought I'd chronicle a little along the way. We are hoping to get as much done as we can a little at a time to save ourselves a lot ofwork heartache panic at the end. The goal for these first few weeks is 1-3 boxes daily, while maintaining order throughout the house and continuing on with life as normal, best we can.
Our tentative target date is August 12. Our 13 year anniversary.
So....Day 1 - Monday, June 24: I went by Greg's former place of employment to pick up moving boxes. His friend (and former boss) and I collapsed at least 12 boxes, stacking and poking them in the van. How ironic is it that upon leaving 11 years of band directing, our stuff is going to be packed in band instrument boxes? These, added to another huge lot we scored the night before from a fireworks stand setting up for the season, will be a great start to our packing.
Day 2 - Tuesday, June 25: Packed 3 boxes. My first goal is to pack up and clear a corner of our bedroom, possibly to move Daniel in with us. Before it is all said and done, the babies' room is probably going to end up as a staging/storage area for packed boxes.

Any moving tips?
