We arrived home from our holiday on Thursday 1st January 2009 to a house full of empty cardboard boxes. We had the whole house to pack up and just under 2 weeks to do it. But once we got started it didn't seem to take that long at all. We had big piles of boxes in no time. Some things were easy to pack, others were a little more difficult and I uummmed and aaggghhh over them not really wanting to say good bye for a whole year.
Lani helped me pack her and Emily's room up and she did a really good job and seemed to handle it well. A few things came back out of the box for one last play before it got taped and she hugged and kissed every teddy before gentle placing them in the box. I did feel a little sad for her, but think how excited she will be to see them all again in 12months time!!
Here is Lani giving Ducky a cuddle...
And in the box he goes with all his friends....
And saying goodbye...
It has been such a busy 2 weeks packing up the house, sorting out what to take and what to pack and what to chuck! It has obviously made me an absent blogger, and I'm just starting to catch up now. It has been nice to finally slow down a bit this week but I have also been feeling extremely tired - I think it is all catching up with me now.
