Moving Madness

I think that boxing up a house has to be one of the most miserable things! I am so particular about how I want it done (labels typed in the upper left hand corner, everything in uniform boxes, only 'like' things in each box, etc) and am realizing that I need to let a few of my OCD tendencies go. I am about to drive Russ crazy! Poor Cole has been a trooper through it all. This is a picture of him trying to play amid the madness. I couldn't help but laugh - he is still in his p.j.s, wearing a hard hat (he was in a danger zone!), and trying to play baseball. You can also see where Garrett had to spend some of his time so he didn't get lost amongst the boxes and packing. Our poor boys will love it when we finally get moved and unpacked so they can have some normalcy back. I don't know if they know exactly what is going on, but Cole can tell something is happening. He knows he's going to Iowa, but I wonder what that means to him. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks!!



We had to take a break from packing to have a little fun, so I took Cole to the fountains at the mall. He absolutely loves getting wet and running through the water. He is one of the only kids that will get totally soaked and laugh while doing it. He plays really hard for about twenty-five minutes and then is ready to go. We will miss the fountains! I hope we can find something similar when we move. Cole also had is pals, Ryker and Daxton, over for our final night of co-op. They have become such great friends - I also hope Cole will be able to find some new buddies to pal around with. We have made so many good friends it is going to be hard to leave.
