Today was the big move. We spent Tuesday hauling more delicate things and stuff we didn’t feel like packing. Today was when the professionals showed up to move the furniture, boxes of books and the massive set of boxes in the garage attic left from the last move. It was tiring but nothing went really wrong It turns out that we have a lot of stuff. But not enough, because Mom took me out shopping for book shelves (which, as we had thirty boxes of books, will be useful). A local furniture store has some very nice floor to ceiling ones that look built in which Mom plans to use to frame a set of pocket doors from the formal room to the sun room.
Charles and Corwin had a reaosnable time. They played in the basement for a while, scattering toys everywhere. Around noon Corwin went off to swim lessons. After he got back I tricked Erica in to taking him to see Finding Nemo. Worse, I saddled her with Jacob and Jacob’s little brother. I did keep Charles, though. The movie didn’t let out until 5, which was a bit of a problem because Erica has class at 5:30. As she dropped Corwin off she said that the movie was “the longest movie in the history of Western civilization”. Hopefully she’ll be back tomorrow, although I didn’t have time to mention that we didnt’ have plans for another movie.
