Battle of the Boxes

Random Thought: If my boys were older, I bet they'd be doing this with our moving boxes:

Doesn't it look like fun?! I wonder what you'd call this kind of game and what the rules would be?

Now For What I Really Wanted To Say: Today was a very busy day. In the morning, I called around to several stores in town to see if I could get some moving boxes from them. Ross Dress for Less had a delivery truck that had just arrived. They told me that if I just drove up to the back of the store and rang the doorbell that they'd give me boxes. I totally SCORED!!!

Can you guess how many large boxes I got to fit in my Honda Accord along with two kids in the backseat?! Don't scroll down yet...take a wild guess.
21 large boxes! Very impressed with my packing up of the car skills Thank You very much.

CLICK TO ENLARGE to see a close up of poor Tyler's little face. He was SO.NOT.HAPPY to help hold the boxes up with his feet like his big brother was.

Needless to say, the boys love to play in the boxes. Brian was such a great help in getting the boxes out of the car. He's such a Muscle Man.



And a BIG SHOUT OUT goes to my Visiting Teacher and new friend, Molly for watching my boys today so that Sam and I could do some serious packing. I'd say we're 50% packed for the big move!

That is so nice to have friends take your boys so you can pack. I had the hardest time packing when the boys were home because they would want to unpack my boxes or help pack them. It drove me crazy. Can't wait to see pictures of your home.
