Last few days

We were lucky to have Kate staying with us for the last week we lived in Maine to help us pack our house. We also tried to get out and have some fun during our last few days. We took the boys back to the park and beach one more time. We had a lot of leftover apples so we spent a lot of time making cookies and apple pie! The boys loved helping mom and grandma.

Mike and I got to go to the temple before we moved. That meant the boys got to spend the day with grandma. After the temple we went to Salem to see the Bewitched statue. The boys collected leaves and dried and glued them with grandma. They also made jack o lanterns and fish.

For a few weeks we had boxes everywhere! It was a little crazy trying to keep the boys from climbing all over the boxes but the boys still had fun helping to pack.

We had one last playdate with Emily. Daniel was excited to move but for the last few weeks he kept asking if his friend Michael was going to come with him to Vegas. He was a little sad that he wasn't but we had a fun last trip to the park.

We had some help from friends cleaning the house. It was great to have help but it was also nice to be able to say goodbye to some friends. Daniel was so excited to see the moving pods be delivered. When the truck came Daniel loved watching. Dan and Liam wanted to watch the men load the pods too so they got to sit outside and eat dinner while the pods were loaded.

It was a good last few days that were busy for sure! With the help of a few friends (a big thank you to Emily who took the boys for us so we could clean!) we finally went to bed ready to leave early Friday morning for Las Vegas!
