Movers

Well our movers came last week on Wednesday and Thursday. It was a crazy week to say that least! On Wednesday from 10-4 they were here packing everything in boxes! It was crazy, I couldn't believe how many boxes ended up filling our house. Then on Wednesday around 9:30 the movers came with the BIG truck and started to load everything into it! Our house went from being completely filled to completely empty! The kids have been having alot of fun in the empty house, although for the most part we spend most of the time we are home in our master bedroom.

Chloe has had more of a difficult time with the move than we expected. On Thursday after the movers left we went to the Doctor's to play. I have known Joanne since I first moved here in 2005, our husbands deployed together a few times. During the first deployment together in 2005, Joanne's daughter Gabrielle was born, then when they deployed in 2006, Chloe was born, both Joanne and her 1 year old Gabrielle were in the delivery room when Chloe arrived :) Since then Chloe and Gabrielle have had fun playing together, and Gabrielle's younger sister Natalie has joined in on their fun now too!! They all wanted to dress up! They sure make beautiful princesses! :)

We will really miss them, I know that Chloe will miss all of her friends here in NC but this was the first time that I knew how much it was really affecting her. She broke down and threw a fit when we had to say goodbye, screaming, I will never see my friends again. It broke my heart! She doesn't do those kinds of things especially this extreme. I am so thankful that we were able to have that time to see them but it was so hard taking her home. Since then we have tried our best to point out all of the positive things about our move in order to lift her spirits. And make sure that we are saying "see you laters" not "goodbyes"

When we got home the kids played on the air mattress with daddy, because before it was even bedtime the mattress deflated! I'm not surprised seeing as we have had it for quite some time now. I bought it when I was pregnant with Chloe so its been used quite a bit. Liam and Chloe love to "attack" daddy! It was so funny watching them play together and have so much fun on a deflated air mattress

 All the moving and fun wore us out and of course since we now had a deflated bed, we slept on the floor! Def not fun! So the next day I went to Target and got us a new one :)
