Wordless Wednesday: Demolition Continues

North for the Summer

 

The time has finally come to move so our new house can be built. Our garage is full of our non-essentials, and the important stuff has been moved to B's. We moved most of Austin's furniture while he was with the FerFer's for the afternoon, so he was in for quite a surprise when he came home to an empty house. He ran in his room and said, "hey, where's my bed? turn on that light! hey, where's my light? What is going ON HERE?" We spent one more night in the farm house before packing up the last of our bedding (and Jeffery!) and making the 3-mile move to Aunt B's.  

 

We told Austin that there was a BIG surprise waiting for him at B's house. During the drive over, he said "hey mom, is my work bench at B's house??" Little did he know that EVERYTHING was now at B's house. We got a lot more "what is going on here" when we first came in the house. He spent the first 10 minutes going room to room, pointing at things and saying, "hey, here my work bench! hey, here my toy box! hey, here my Bob movies!" We tried to keep everything as normal as possible. His tower is in the kitchen and the laptops are still on the counter...

 

Toys are in the living room, and he's having NO problem making a mess in his "new" home...

Even the Bubble Guppies came with us!

 

And the Condoooooo...

 

And of course all his friends...

 

And toys....

 

The best part about living at B's is that when you open this door...

You can see Nana and Pa's!!

We're all adjusting well to our new surroundings. The first night here, Austin grabbed my face and said "I ready to go to home now!" I don't think he fully understands why we're here, but if one thing is true, it's that we have the most adaptable kid ever! Somehow I think moving away from this house is going to be a lot harder then our move from S. Prairie to N. Prairie! I mean how on earth am I going to keep him for running across the field this summer?!?!

1st Family Game Night

 

We had our 1st ever family game night during our last weekend on Prairie Rd. Nothing says family fun like a good old fashion game of Go Fish! The version Austin got for Christmas is so cute. It's great for learning numbers, colors and Sharing/Turn Taking - which we're still working on! Dad ended up the big winner, but Austin and I know we can take him next time!

Wordless Wednesday: No room in the Inn

Demolition Begins...

The demolition of our house has officially begun. (Yes, we're still living downstairs! Out of site out of mind -- which is why it was such a mess for the past nine years!) Austin has enjoyed helping Nana, Pa and Aunt B remove the old trim, doors and electric heaters. We're still not 100% sure what we're going to do with it all, but I'm sure we'll find it a loving home someday!
