Tonight was the first of three nights IN A ROW when we have nothing planned.

Obviously we need to be packing up for our move, but we are all still quite tired.  Tonight we just hung out as a family and played some games and went to bed early.  The only member of the family who had ANY energy at all was Sophie and she was running around the house like a maniac...darting everywhere.  It was fun to watch her for a little while.

The next two nights we need to be packing.  Of course both boys have it in their mind that if we pack for a good couple of hours we should be ready to go.  I estimated 100 hours and then both about fell out of their chairs.  They immediately talked about how that was going to ruin the rest of their entire summer.  I explained how sometimes when you want to do something like move you just have to suck it up to make the rest of your life better.  I said the other option was to stay in our current house.  They don't consider it an option. 

Hopefully I can get myself motivated to pack...let alone the two of them. 

Praises for good family time the remainder of this week.  Prayers for the motivation to get started packing and to keep the boys focused and on task.
