Well we are staying at my parents house until we find a home. It's really nice, they have a kitchen downstairs so we are not in their way too much.
It was really hard to say goodbye to our home. I did not think it would be that tough, I was really excited, but to see it empty like that and to have so many friends come by at the last minute for our birthdays, it got very emotional for me. Maybe it was a little of the hormome thing happening but it was hard anyway. I took some pictures of before the move and after, more for my use than yours but here they are anyway. I think the thing that made it so hard was all the hard work we put into the home. We bought it almost 4 years ago after it had been vacant for a couple years and was selling as a HUD home. Great deal but needed A LOT of work. Every room in the house was changed by us. I hope the new couple loves it as much as we did. Okay Okay, enough about the old house...on to bigger and better things right?!
This was during packing week so all the plants are gone. But it still looked like our home!

Wow! That's even weird to look at now.
Well as for other things going on in our life...
The kids really look forward to St. Patricks Day because of the pot of gold the leprechauns leave behind for them! We did fun puzzle this year that ended out in an arrow pointing to where the treasure was hidden. They found it quick and all the gold coins have already been eaten!
Happy belated St. Patricks Day!
The first clue was hidden right on the T.V....had to make it obvious!
One was hiding under the swings!
They finally found it behind a tree! Yummy! Mommy ate way too much of it!
Oh and our ward had a killer Pinewood derby "anything goes" party before we left. I would post pictures but my computer is being dumb so I'll just tell you that Jon took the cake on all of the cars! His aerodynamic version of attaching a rubber band to the car and pulling it down the track...kicked everyone's butt! Oh and his car with a huge brick on top, didn't do too bad in the demolition derby either!
If any of you have any great ideas on how to keep my little guys from killing eachother this week...let me know! They are pretty good most of the time but I guess I usually arrange the activity for them to do. Yeah, take that away and they are at a loss in the world for what to do. You'd think toys had no meaning in the world, they want to help and sometime they can but, well you probably all know that you kind of get more done when they are preoccupied! Actually my friends have been amazing this past week and I appreciate them so much. So I think I'm on my own this week...Any ideas for fun things to do for them?? I will be waiting!
