No picture post (boring, right?)

Our house is in a tizzy!  Packing, packing, more packing.  The kids are still in school till the 19th and they have had a busy month of fieldtrips and activities.

Griffin went to a fisher-cats baseball game, our local library and Great bay discovery center.  The twins trips have taken them to the Boston Aquarium the NH fish hatchery, a local hike and many in-class science experiments.  This last week of school will be no different.  They each have activity days planned at school, step up day (which won't really be fun for them since they see what class they will be in the next year only they will be in Cali), and a end of the year ceremony and picnic for the twins.  I am so grateful for all these activities to keep them busy and their minds off the upcoming move.  They all seem to be taking the move great, but I'm sure as the days count down they will be feeling a little more emotional about it.

Our family combined with Hunting family for a yard sale.  The kids all had things to sell.  Miles and Griff sold toys, Caleigh had made some flower headbands and pins, and Elliot colored on Rocks and sold them for .25 cents each.  She surprisingly made 5 dollars!  But, she spent it before the day was through.

Griffin was disappointed most of his toys didn't sell, and the ones that did he had to drop the price of.  Hes been saving for months for a Oliver Wood Wand (from Harry Potter) and he needed just a little bit more to get it.  He maned the table the whole day so when he fell short I paid him the difference.  I am impressed with that kids work ethic.

 And Miles lucked out that the Huntings are such big Star Wars fans, they bought his large Millenium Falcon off of him.  Making him the big earner for the day.  He immediately came home and ordered some lego guns off the computer that he's had his eye on for oh, a day!  Ha ha ha, he gets his money sense from me.

Now that the yard sale is over and the left over stuff is dropped off at goodwill the major packing has begun.  It surprises me how much stuff we have!  And the emotional roller coaster has begun.  Mike was releases from the Bishopric, and we have started to plan out our "last" days that we want to fit in.  Beach day, lighthouse day, shopping day, BBQ...

But when it's all said and done California here we come!
