The Good News: The trailer with most of our belongings is parked on the street near our new home.
The Bad News: People in our new ward aren't available to unload it until Saturday. Fortunately, our Relief Society president loaned us an inflatable mattress, and a fold-up table and chairs for our kitchen. Thanks, Sister Lund!!!
While we're waiting for our furniture and toys to be unloaded this weekend, we've spent the week reading library books and playing card games on the floor . . .
. . . playing outside with our sweet new neighbor Leila . . .
. . . and taking an urban hike to the grocery store . . .
. . . during which we passed a Fiat whose owner is obviously a BIG fan of Hello Kitty.
One of the things we picked up at the store was a package of magic erasers. Todd got tired of writing the alphabet on paper, so he used a green crayon to write it on the walls of our second and third floors. He got all the way through the capitol letters and made it to lowercase "h" before Joy caught him.
I had Todd "help" me clean the letters off our walls, and I was grateful that Anna and Daniel were willing to help, too. Ironically, when our Arkansas landlord checked the condition of our old home before we moved, he cheerfully observed that there was no crayon on the walls. I replied, "Yeah, for some reason my kids have never done that." I should have added the word "yet."
