Random Things!

Here are a few things that have been happening over the last week:
Dylan's class studied the letter M last week and I was asked to be in charge of the Fun Friday snack. It was Mickey Mouse day at school so I made Minnie and Mickey Mouse cupcakes for his class. It really got me in the mood for our Disney World trip! Only 9 days left!!!
I have been a bit stressed lately with Rob being out of town and so much to do before he deploys and I move. One of my greatest stresses was this:
How many of you caught the word was? That's right!! WAS! I sold Rob's truck this week. It was my first ever vehicle that I sold and I feel like I did a really great job! Sure, I sold it for less than what Rob probably could have gotten out of it, but it feels really nice to cross it off my to do list. (For those of you who don't know/remember: Rob is still out of town doing more training. He will be back at the end of this week and then he has a few weeks of vacation time before he leaves.)
I have been trying to get packing done while Rob is out of town, but I am limited not only in strength, but also the lack of space in a Tahoe.
I have been moving a lot of things to the storage unit and our house is slowly clearing out.
The kids now have mattresses on the floor and only a few boxes of toys.
And our rooms are starting to look bare!

And last, but not least, here is Maggie playing on the computer. It amazes me what kids can do. Keep in mind that Maggie is 3 and is using a mouse! She is going to be way more computer savvy than I am!

Update

I feel like it has been forever since my last post! Things have been busy around here, but I have not taken many pictures. A couple weeks ago Rob's dad got married, but I didn't pull out my camera once (I will have to steal some pictures from Heidi). It was a beautiful weekend and we had a great time meeting Patti's family.
Rob is getting ready to go out of town for more training. He will be gone for a couple of weeks than he starts his block leave. I can't believe that he leaves for Iraq in about 5 weeks--time goes by way too fast!
I am slowly getting the house packed up and I hope that we can fit it all into the 10 x 20 storage unit that we have rented. Other than that I am taking care of kids and keeping busy with other odd and ends.
Dylan is still loving school and will miss it when we move. He doesn't realize that he only has a couple more weeks until he finishes here! I am giving him a few weeks off from school so we can spend some time together as a family before Rob leaves.
Maggie is oblivious to all that is going on and I am just a bit jealous of her! She is as silly as ever and is slowly potty training. I haven't really pushed the potty training because we are going to Disney World in a few weeks with Rob's family. I figure Disney World is not a very easy place to potty train!
Anyway, that is what is going on with us! I will try to remember to pull out my camera and get some pictures posted soon!
