Adventures in Moving. . . . . with the DaBells

#1 - Saying goodbye to friends. Although, judging from the way these two are hugging, this might not be the last time Connor and Mya see each other. . .
#2 - Cleaning sunscreen out of the back of our car. We have the aerosol type of sunscreen, and I had it stowed in the back. We went and got some boxes, and when we got home we could hear this weird hissing sound. Yeah- apparently the cap wasn't in the locked position. Oxi-clean and a spatula works wonders, FYI.
#3- Fun Boxes. To be expected when most of your boxes come from the hospital.
#4 - Having an obstacle course in your own living room.
#5 - Anyone who knows what a neat freak I am must know how much this mortifies me to have my room looking like this. We seriously move stuff off of the bed to go to sleep every night. I can't believe that I ever allowed myself to be that slovenly. This too shall pass. . .
#6- Finding ways for your kids to "help". Connor's task here was to put a napkin in between each plate for padding.
#7 - Taking pictures of things to sell on craigslist. Gently used Graco stroller, anyone?!?
#8 - Seeing how high you can stack boxes (and how many places you can stack boxes) in your living room.
#9 - Trying to come up with a somewhat decent snack when all you have is Peanut butter, eggs, and Tuna fish. (Thanks for demonstrating this in the background, honey!)
#10- Cooking spaghetti in a metal bowl for dinner. It actually worked pretty well. Jake had packed up my pots, so this is what we had. Makes for great stories :).

Good luck! Moving sure is a process. Makes me hope we stay put for awhile.
