Packing... A Family Affair







Even with all the packing we are still having fun! One thing I have wanted to make sure is that we still spend time with the children even though we are super busy. I have been letting them help, and they have really helped! Karagen has written on the boxes, which helps her practice her writing skills, they have folded, wrapped, cut, taped and worked to fit things into boxes which helps them with problem solving and hand eye cordination. We have enjoyed our packing experience.

So farewell dear friends, we will be turning off the computer for the next few days and packing it away. I am not sure when we will be getting internet service in our new home, but you can be sure I will be back to blogging as soon as I can!

We are packing the truck Monday August 2, and then driving it to our new home on Tuesday August 3. We would appreciate your thoughts and prayers while we move and get settled!

  2. Looks like they enjoyed helping. I know my kids liked to help pack their belongings up when we last moved. They also downsized some of their stuff when they realized how much that really had!

  9. You SOOOO need to buy yourselves a packing tape dispenser/cutter! I bought one for move #4, those things are awesome! I use it all the time... and it makes it easier to find one thing (the dispenser) vs. two things (tape and the scissors)... I don't envy you, I hate moving... hope all goes well for you! :)

  10. Just bounced over from Allied Moms! Cute blog and pics.

    Moving 8 times in 8 years? Wow! I hope this is your last move for awhile. I know how the whole process can be so draining.
