Arnold went back to work today. He left rather early and in turn got to work super early. We both keep forgetting how much/little time it will take to get places!
Q and I did some house work and some minor moving. We made some beds and kept cleaning and getting rooms ready. In the evening we went and picked up the scrapbooking stuff we had at Kristina’s house. I figured at least I could get the majority of things moved out of people’s houses it might work out better!
We came home and I got Q ready for bed (he was still sleeping in the basement with us) and Arnold kept working on things outside and in. I had a pile of stuff for the basement and other rooms and Arnold would help us move them around.

Week 11 Day 5 - Tuesday, July 28th - Moving Day
Tuesday:
We moved! How hard is that to explain! Let’s see:
Arnold brought Q over to Lori’s really really early in the morning (well around 7:30am or so). We did stop and get me something to eat from McDonalds before they left (and sure enough McDonald’s messed it up but whatever). The boys went over and unloaded Lori’s house and then Arnold went to Pastor Steve’s place and did the same there and came home. I unloaded and unpacked things from the kitchen kept the laundry going and did a bit more unpacking here.
When Arnold got home we emptied the trailer and then went to the next stop, the storage unit. Because we had taken some the day before, we were doing good and managed to fit it all in. We closed the storage unit account and headed off home. We stopped at Subway and I picked up some subs for us while Arnold went home and started to unpack. We made a quick stop for lunch and kept going. We went to the campground and put everything else in that we couldn’t fit in the car or didn’t want too (ie the BBQ). Then we filled the car and headed home. Unpacked it all and headed back to the UHAUL spot. We dropped it off and raced back to the trailer. We finished take down and took some photos. Then we brought the trailer home and dropped it off here. I think we picked up something to eat for supper and went to Lori’s and Q from his fun day. He had a BLAST! It was wonderful (thanks again Lori, it was wonderful to not have him running around all day).
Here are some photos of the campsite:

Week 11 Day 4 - Monday, July 27th - Packing and Moving
Q and I had a good night. He slept with me in my bed. The next morning we packed up/cleaned up/burned things. It was a good day. We spent as much of our day outside as we could and did make a run to Mcdonalds for Lunch since we had no fridge or food!
Q and I met Arnold at Warden and Lawrence and picked him up so we could go and get the trailer we and reserved. We went and filled up the trailer with some things from the storage unit and then we went out for supper and took our time going to the new house. Rob had asked we get there around 8pm but by the time we had supper and everything it was almost 7pm and we were ready to go so we took our time coming over. Once we were on our way Rob called and asked if we would be able to get there soon so we sped up a bit and got there shortly after 7:15pm.
We did our final walk through and unpacked the car and trailer and got ready for the night. We were tired and just wanted to sleep. Here are a few photos of Q enjoying the new house:
I finished unpacking by around 9pm or so but Arnold kept going as long as he could. He was incredible!

Week 9 Day 7 - Thursday, July 16th - A Wonderful Day!
Today was a WONDERFUL day!
It started with some wonderful time at the zoo with Auntie Lori and the boys. We took a different route and got to see some of the animals we don’t normally see. It was nice. I was telling Lori about the house and how we are just waiting to see if we got it. I got some super cute photos of the boys. Enjoy!
We found out about half way through our trip that we got the house! Rob called me and we chatted about the zoo and our pass for a few minutes and then he said if we still wanted the house, it was ours! I was so excited! We made an appointment to be there in the evening to do another walk through and get things figured out. YEAH!!! So happy!!!
After the zoo we went home and had a nap and I got the kids ready, and some laundry and grocery list, for Auntie Kristina’s house that night. We had plans to go over and make supper for them, as well as another batch of meals for Arnold. That was the easy part. We headed over once the kids got up from their naps (that they ended up starting LATE) and stopped at the grocery store and picked up a few things we needed. We made Sheppard’s pie and Chicken Pot Pie for Arnold to take with him. We made an extra batch of CPP for supper that night. It turned out really well.
Auntie Kristina and I cooked while Uncle Tim and Arnold took the oldest out to get something for their cell phones (boys and their toys!). I got the meals cooked and ready to go before we headed out. When Uncle Tim and Arnold got home we switched. I went to the van with Arnold and we went to the new house and Uncle Tim brought the 2 older kids upstairs. Auntie Kristina gave everyone a bath (Thank you thank you thank you).
Here are the photos Arnold got of the house during our last walk through (things have changed a bit since we did these).
We gave him the cheque and talked over a few more things. I’m so excited!!!
