Solar Systems, Continents, and OUT in 10 DAYS!!???!!




I should be packing. But thought I'd give a quick update. We're moving. We have to in fact. We've got to be gone in exactly 10 days. Not so bad right? Well it wouldn't be if we knew where we were moving too. But at least now we've got job PROSPECTS!! Awesome I know. Travis got an offer from that job he interviewed last week! So thank you for all your prayers, EVERYONE. I know a lot of friends and family members were praying for us so thank you, I really appreciate it. Since its been high stress and hectic, I try to squeeze in a little lesson before the craziness gets so crazy (aka me packing and pulling kids out and off of boxes). We recently learned about the solar system. Pretty interesting and learned a lot that I either never knew, or knew at one point and forgot (like Jupiter having a storm raging in the red spot on the planet for over 300 years!! Raise your hand if you already knew that. Well, I didn't know it). Then we learned about the continents today. That was fun. We sang songs, colored the map (that I traced of the computer screen, because we didn't have any ink. Yeah I'm that skilled), and talked about the climate on each continents. Then learned about the oceans and had long discussions/arguments about wither or not there are humans living on Antarctica. And I just realized that I misspelled Antarctica on their maps and misspelled, misspelled, auto spell checker just fixed it for me. Not my day/night. After some packing (you know you do it all day and still feel like you didn't put a dent in it!) we all went swimming. Travis's idea a super good one, we got out of the apartment the kids got to yell and scream and jump and splash and you get the picture. And I got to pretend I didn't have a huge gigantic mess of an apartment for a whole hour. Thanks Trav it was perfect! And now I just literally remembered what I was suppose to do. LAUNDRY! I have three whole baskets full of clean laundry that needs folding and I finally cleared enough room space to fold it and I vacuumed! So I could have a clean floor to make piles, and I did all these things to up and forget and do my blog. But not anymore, I will conquer that mountainous heap of clothing and I will fold it... ALL!

Wait! I'm confused. Does this mean you are moving to Houston? And what happened to the army thing? Good luck with getting everything ready for the move! If all else fails, stuff everything into trash bags and throw them in the moving truck!
