This is why I am having trouble finding time to pack

Did we mention that we’re moving to Seattle at the end of the month?  I’m more than a little worried that I might not be all packed up in time, but turning my focus from parenting to packing results in things like this:

12.9.10 Nicole's messI thought Nicole had fallen asleep when I hadn’t heard from her for awhile.  Apparently she rejected my nap idea in favor of her own idea which was to empty out all Isaac’s drawers and her clothing and books and then pour baby powder all over everything.  She was so happy and proud of her little disaster that she galloped down the hall happily yelling “big, big mess!”

    YES! I am so glad I am not alone in this!!! My kids have been making the biggest messes & it is because I am so stinking busy! Hope they calm down a bit for you & you can get alllll packed up!

  • Man alive, sometimes I just want to sell ’em!

    But now that you mention it, no, I don’t think you mentioned you were moving to Seattle. Good luck with the move!!
