Final Day...

It was finally here...our final day in the house, Sunday April 1st.  We spent all weekend packing the miscellaneous things we had out and cleaning and doing laundry.  We thought it was only going to take us 1/2 a day and it ended up taking both days...Yikes!  On Sunday, Chunk and Kara came down to show us the new finalized house plans...SO EXCITING!  Well I guess they came down to see the Celtic Women concert but who is counting.  So for the few hours they were there we put them to work on finishing up a few things - Thank you guys! 

Then it was time to say good-bye to the house.  Aubrey took a few pictures in her room and even gave it a kiss good-bye.  I took a picture of Coleton's room because he wouldn't stay put long enough in there to get a picture of him in it.  He was still trying to create mayhem in an empty house.

That night we slept in the camper in the driveway because we ran out of time to get it moved.  Eric and I were up until after 11:00 finishing up the last bit of laundry and cleaning.  On one of our may trips back and forth from the camper to the house, we hear a little laugh coming for the bottom bunk of the kids bedroom.  When we looked at the window looking back at us were two little eyes peaking out from between the mini blinds...Coleton was still awake and it was after 10:30.  He thought it was funny that he could watch us outside going back and forth.  So now Mom and Dad went to tuck him in and found that he had torn down the curtain in his bunk and destroyed the blinds...yet again earning his name "Little Monster". 

Finally with everyone settled into bed it was time to sleep.  Morning seem to come faster than usually and we were up and moving pretty early.  We were scheduled to close on the house at 9:00 in St. Louis Park and we still have boxes in the garage.  So at 6:30 in the morning I was getting funny looks from some of the neighbors as I ran boxes from my house over to our neighbors and daycare to put in their garage.  (Thanks for the temporary storage Belknap's!)  The plan was when we pick up the kids to get the last remaining things for sure this time.  Then we dropped the camper off at Gregg and Tammy's and we were off to the closing to sign.
