Last night we came home after a fun, fun, fun dinner and were ready to put Dylan to bed. The poor kid has been traumatized by the whole move. Too little to understand what is going on but big enough to realize every time he turns around something else is missing, i.e. furniture from the garage sale, brothers, trampoline is taken down, dog -she's just getting groomed but he has no sense of anything coming back after they leave! Anyway, he was having a night and we thought a bath may calm him down before bed since in was already after ten and he was still practically hysterical. We weave through the boxes to our bathroom and find that the movers have been VERY thorough with their packing. They packed the towels and the shower curtain while we were at dinner. They did, however, leave a half-used bar of soap and my razor for my morning shower. Luckily we had a towel in our duffel bag of dirty laundry we pulled out for Dyl and then Gary found another one in his fire bag in the basement and hung a sheet from the same bag up as our shower curtain this morning.
Other funny things seem to pop up left and right. Here's a list of a few of them:
No T.P. in the bathroom this morning but a box of Kleenex saved me.
Caught them packing the box of recyclables that was in the garage just in time before we hauled it two states away.
We didn't hear Dylan knock after his nap yesterday (they have the doorknob covers so they'll stay in their room to nap) so one of our movers let him out.
Packed our portable DVD player before we remembered to put it in the car.
Gary got ready to reload the I-Pod shuffle for me to use on the journey and then we remembered our night stand where we keep it was two layers deep in the moving truck.
Kept the dog food and kennel out and went to get the leash to take our dog to the groomer today and realized it too was packed.
Keep throwing away things on the floor because the garbage can in the pantry is gone.
I'm sure the list will keep on growing in the coming days. We are really grateful that Gary's job allows us to have these adventures and also handles the hassle of relocating a family of six. We will be driving off tomorrow morning and on to our next adventure. All of our belongings will be driving to Grand Junction, Colorado to load another family's life into the back of the truck and then be in Tusayan on Tuesday to unload us before moving on to Tucson to unload the other family. You wouldn't think there would be room in a truck that size for more than just six people but after watching them pack and load, it's amazing to see how much room is left. If I only knew where my camera was right now, I'd take some pictures but.........

Have a great journey. I will miss you terrible. But hopefully we might see you sometime in the future. Cross fingers. You are a wonderful friend.
We were already in WI when our movers packed us. There were things in our house that I never knew about, and all of it ended up here. Garbage included. I don't think they left a crumb on the floor! I'm not complaining though, we are closing on a house at the end of the month and I am NOT looking forward to packing ourself. I prefer being pampered! Good luck with your move, I hope your little Dylan handles it ok! Poor kid.
That is too funny! Good luck getting settled and keep us posted! We will miss you!!
