Well, we are mostly in the new place. However our computer isn't up yet so I am using my mom's. Hopefully it will be up soon and I can post some pics. I am still working on getting boxes unpacked. I can't believe how long this is taking me. But, as least I can do it as I have time now. We can't find the screws, etc. for our desk. They were put in a box and not labeled. So we are madly trying to find them, but so far haven't had any luck.
I can't believe school started already. Jessica is in first grade this year and is going to school for a full day. And Mattie is going to a neighborhood preschool for two hours, three days a week. Monday I came home after dropping him off and thought I would get so much done. Instead I felt lonely, crazy huh? I know eventually I will live for those two hours. It was just so hard the first day.
Jessica is loving school and being able to ride the school bus every day. She talks about it all the time. And Matthew is loving meeting the kids in the neighborhood and making new friends.
I love our new house, and the other night at RS they had an auction. I won the bid for help redecorating a room in my house (trading spaces style). I am so excited about that. Boy could I use the help! By the way, had anyone ever read "Castaways of the Flying Dutchman" by Brian Jacques? It is the book this ward is doing for bookclub next month. Just wondering what to expect. On Amazon it was given 4 stars. Hope it is a good one.
That's about all for now. Glad you are all doing well, I check in now and then when I can. Hope to be up on my own computer soon.

Last Pack Meeting
Last night was my last pack meeting in this ward. It was an end of summer pool party and was lots of fun. I have been in the Cub Scout program pretty much since we moved into this ward 4 1/2 years ago. I have had every job except Cub Master. That means I have been a Wolf, Bear, Webelos Leader and the Cub Committee Chair. How about that? I got some nice thank you/we'll miss you gifts and thought it would be nice to blog about it.
Here is a plant that I will be able to plant at the new house and four $100,000 Grand candy bars (there is only 3 now, somebody absconded with one during pack meeting). They said "this is probably what your job is worth, and we don't know where we will find someone to take your place." Somehow I think they will manage.
I also got this cool neckerchief slide that the Webelos leader made for me, as well as this nice Cub Scout Leader Recognition certificate. She said, "I wanted this to be a surprise for you, but the form requires your signature. So I forged it, I hope you don't mind." I told her of course now, how nice of her. She said, "Well, a scout is... Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent." So I felt bad "lying." But I didn't want you to know we did this.
I think it was so nice of her, I knew this award was available, but I never think of the adult awards, just the kids awards. So even though I did all the things to earn it, I probably would have never filled out the paperwork. Thank you so much Susie.
Isn't that nice? It feel great to be appreciated. I will definitely miss the ward here.

These Funny Kids of Mine...I'm Gonna Love Em All The Time
This last week has been incredibly busy for us. Getting all the utilities changed over, Jessica registered for school in the new district, and boxing up all our junk, while trying to keep Jessica's patterning on schedule along with the rest of our daily lives. WOW! has it ever been crazy!
In the midst of the madness a couple funny things happened.
Jessica watched a video that talked about the Christmas holidays and decided she wanted to dress up for winter. She went around the house looking for gloves and a hat. She wore this all day and even played outside in it for awhile (In the 100 degree weather). Every time I tried to take them off she'd say "those are my gloves!"
She gets in these phases where she does things over and over. Now she is in a "circle time" stage. Lets play circle time, do you need to play circle time? Two days now we have been playing circle time. So crazy.
A couple of days ago Matthew came out to the front room looking like this (see picture below).
I asked what he was doing with those and explained to him that they were suspenders that hold up your pants, and he said "well, I just want to wear them like this so I can put my swords and lightsabers in here." I was cracking up, he is so funny.
We are moving on Saturday, and I really hope I can get everything boxed up, I have really been dragging my feet on this and just can't get organized. Do you ever fell so overwhelmed and don't even know where to start? That is kind of how I feel right now. Anyway, onward and upward.
