Last night we were able to get the 22' truck completely full! By we, I mean my husband and his brother. I was merely a sorter of things! So we through in the crib mattress and some bedding and packed our RAV and we were ready to head out. Well, not without donuts first! We hit the road at 8:45am and immediately stopped for mints. Now we are really off... well with two little ones who are potty trained it's more like go, stop, go, stop... you get the picture!
We made it to Round Rock at 11:45am and seemed like it would be more convenient for lunch than taking a 22' truck through downtown Austin! Oh and while we are in Round Rock I HAD to stop at the outlets to get the boys shoes. Jude lost one shoe this week and he may have put it in a box somewhere but this happens to be his only pair of shoes at the moment. Back on the road! Then I HAD to to stop at Coffee Bean & Tea leaf in Austin. (It's a favorite from my CA college days!) J took a pretty good nap while Drew watched a movie and we thought we might make it the rest of the way, plus hubby's brother was already at the apartment with the moving truck! We made one more stop for a requested 'pee pee' break but the boys BOTH refused to go to the bathroom with me because there is no urinal in the women's!
We finally made it at 3:15pm, here to our new home for the next.... Oh 10 days! Yes you read that right! We are in brand apartment complex in a 2 bedroom apartment and waiting on a 3 bedroom apartment to be completed for move-in. So now the fun begins- unloading! Well, we thought this would be the best part but it turned out to be the most difficult. Caused by a combination of tired, excited, and confused little boys AND moving from 3600 sq ft to 950 sq ft. We have been shedding belongings and rented a storage unit trying to make ourselves fit into this space. After chasing the boys up and down the moving truck ramp and getting overly frustrated, I ended up trying to watch a movie with the boys while the moving continued. Then a quick fast food dinner brought back by daddy, we put the boys right to bed. The boys were wrestling too much since their mattresses are just on the floor and we has to separate them, so J is in our closet!
I convinced hubby and his brother to stop moving our stuff in for the night after dinner and to finish in the morning. They quickly obliged and left to pick up some beers. We are now trying to relax a bit and prepare for more tomorrow plus hopefully some grocery shopping!
