ok, are we done yet? are they all gone? my cheeks are killing me!
I think I know enough plans to post
Thursday (tomorrow) I plan to meet the moving company and get our stuff on the road! It can take up to three weeks for it to get there, so the sooner the better on getting it out.
We have plane tickets for flying out to CT on Saturday October 31st! Jamin has picked out a house "on base" which really means off base in this instance but base housing none the less.
We had hopingly planned to fly this weekend instead, but I am glad we have a little bit more time to get things done here and there before we get there, then hopefully getting there can be fun and relaxing, not super stressful.
In the meantime we have been enjoying more Fall. School, sun, rain, friends...
We had Canadian Thanksgiving at Romalie's place. Lots of food and Scrabble :)
we also went to find THE PARK that had teetertotters last time. No teetertotters now but an awesome tire swing. The awesomness was only slightly lessoned by the puking of Devin afterward :) Poor kid takes after his mother in matters of dizziness.
I was so glad to get to have a family holiday before we leave to the land of no family around. Last week we went and spent the night at the Barons. Geoff was in Africa for 3 weeks, so we had a lovely sleepover. There were many good picture moments and I didn't capture a single one.
Mel and I took the kids to a Children's Museum here last week. Good times.
Otherwise we are just doing normal things and trying to spend as much time visiting people and enjoying family and friends and opportunities here before we go.
It has been really wonderful to have Romalie and Melissa and Jono around, and to get to stay with Steve and Pat. I have had so much support and so many helpful and encouraging people around me. Thanks guys.
Oh, and today Devin did an awesome job on a school project so I thought I would share... He was supposed to cut out the shapes and paste them onto paper. He got super excited and decided to make a Tank. Here it is:
You can see he used the scrap paper as well. He did this all by himself. Notice the white bullet in the orange gun. Pretty slick. He has such a creative streak, and when he sees something in his mind, he is getting really good at drawing, pasting, or explaining it. I love it. Oh, right, the yellow triangle is the sun.
