6 Days Till Departure – Wow!

Today was just one of those days that everything seemed to take forever, all sorts of errands to run but felt like we didn’t accomplish much… Donations and consignment stores, trying to get rid of items that are valuable enough to not throw out but no one we know wants… this is harder then you would think!  We would just keep things, but as Ryan says at this point, if it doesn’t make us money, it will cost us money (in storage). Returns and exchanges at sears etc… we did have a $50 gift certificate to spend on Kaitlyn which was fun, we were able to get a few essentials for her, a new hooded towel, bibs (with no Velcro, so she can’t pull it off) and one with sleeves :) a balaclava and a face gaiter (to keep her little head and face nice and toasty!) and some slippers :) Thanks Aunt Pat :)

We are slowly whittling away at the pile of stuff still at the house and it is now a very small but overwhelming pile, haha… Tomorrow we plan on getting the T.V. and bed, and taking the BBQ back (due to a propane leak), finish packing the storage unit and alas the move will be complete! At least in terms of being out of our house, we still have paperwork to sort through and our baggage to finish packing. 

Finally got home to see our baby girl this evening, man are we lucky to have her!!! She was so happy to see us, there is nothing else like your child’s love for you, she is becoming so creative and smart! Already teaching herself little games, and laughing at her own humour! hehe, so cute! She is also becoming better at climbing! Kirstin if you are reading, haha, this means she can reach top shelves ;o)  She spent another fun filled and obviously exhausting day with Nana and Grandad because she fell asleep at 7:30!

We are really hoping to finish everything tomorrow before going out to a BBQ at a friends place tomorrow night, the storage unit gets picked up Thurs morning, so we don’t have much choice! Thats all for now, I should get some rest!
