This Week's Plans for those Crazy Rabbits!

We have cleared and closed our rented storage locker. The new garage is full. There will have to be lots of culling/sorting of papers etc later. We have also gotten carpets and other pieces of furniture that we would need for the new house -- using Craig's List. The other thing we have is a 12' trampoline and a wooden play structure to set up in the new back yard when it is ready. We already have some nice tables and a back patio awning. We got a patio swing to add to benches as well. We are also planning to fix our hot tub too. The new back yard and patio will be quite the social setting when we are done. The house will also be very comfortable for parties and other gatherings.

Sunday (Today!) -- We continue to move stuff to the new house. We are also hoping to finish clearing the weeds from the new back yard. Packing, moving, gardening. I have to continue to go through stuff we are not keeping and either sell or give away stuff using Craig's List etc.

Monday -- See Sunday for more of the above.

Tuesday -- Pack for Ancient Ways festival. uncledark heads up with the official shuttle to the site.

Wednesday -- Rowan's plane arrives at 4:30 PM!

Thursday (through Sunday) -- airshipjones, myself and Rowan head up to Harbin Hot Springs for the festival. redhatmary will stay at the old house.

Sunday - Rabbits return to the Warren.

Remember - June 18/19 is the official move all the furniture and stuff to the new warren. After that date we will be living in the new house and cleaning up the old house. June 18 is also our wedding anniversary.

June 25 - Rowan's Harry Potter birthday party.

Three days from now I will be snuggling my boy. I talked with him yesterday and he can't wait to come home. He actually stepped away from our ex and whispered into the phone that he really likes being here more than there. He said he still wishes he could live with us but he didn't want his "Iowa mommy" to hear him and get mad. I said I understood but not to worry, he will be home soon.

He is very happy about the camping trip, of course. We have taken him to Ancient Ways Festival every year since he was four (except for the year I missed because I was in Florida helping mom). He so loves it there. One of those interesting things that the three of us adults share is that despite our very different families, we all have wonderful happy memories of camping with our parents when we were kids. We are happy to pass that one to our son. Add to that how amazingly social Rowan is, and he is always ecstatic to go with us to the festival.

When we get back from the Festival, we pack up the rest of the house and move over to the new one the next weekend. Still looking for help packing that week and help moving the furniture on June 18 & 19.

This afternoon, mikz helped me clear the new back yard. There weeds almost as tall as me. I dug up the big weeds by the roots with a shovel. fuzzydragon had started cutting the grass with a weedwacker the other day, mikz finished that process. Next we have to rake/vacuum up the cut grass/weeds. After that, we need to rent a tiller and break the ground for planting. Two sides with be planted flower beds. One side with have our sheds and a play structure. The large center area will need sod. If you want to help till, plant etc., just let me know.

We have a lot of stuff we will be selling or giving away. For example, we will be selling our Kenmore washer and dryer, the window air conditioner, a couple vcrs, and the smaller of our two refrigerators. Lots of smaller stuff too. If you are interested, let me know.

While I was digging up weeds, I found myself thinking about how I could not have done this last year. I am so much healthier and I am hoping the progress continues. I enjoyed my first yoga and belly dance classes last week and am looking forward to more.
