We’re helping with a gradual move over the next few days, and today was day one!! Day one tends to be a big day of a project because all the organization goes down that day!
I peptalked the kids over breakfast, about how Brady and I were available to them, but we were going to be busy, also. We talked about keeping attitudes good, giving the benefit of the doubt, using nice voices, etc. Laela was appointed Waverly’s special helper if she needed something that could be handled by a children. Everyone agreed to be on their best behavior!
And I’ve gotta say, they were!! Towards the end of the morning, coming up on lunch, they started to get a little snippy and fighty, but thats to be expected, being hungry and out in the wind for three-ish hours. A kid would be flustered or a little upset, and someone would suggest a game or invite them to the sandbox, etc. It wasn’t perfect but it was smoother than I thought it would be! Snacks don’t hurt either.
We had particular goals in mind for today, and everything we originally talked about fit in ONE van load!! Woop woop!
All of this to say, next RV series post, you guys need to be extra impressed, because we have smaller windows to work in this coming week, but our six week deadline for the camper hasn’t changed!
Eek! July promised to be bananas busy, and it does not disappoint! I am weirdly relishing in it, though! Not feeling stretched especially thin at all 🙂 Thank you, Lord, for endurance, and for positive attitudes from all involved!
Thanks so much you guys. What a great day. Sooooo very much accomplished. Two big van loads went to my new home. You both worked so hard. Hope you don’t hurt too much. And also, a tribute to my great grandkids who were and are AMAZING! Thank you for all working together to make this potentially difficult day great!
I love you all so much!
Mom, you played a HUGE role in being SO organized, and cool under pressure. Your endurance was strong, and yes, we got so much done!!
The kids really did a great job 🙂 Thank you for having them, trusting them, and loving them. We all love you back!!
