Packing began in earnest today, with us going through cupboards of toys, books, and bathroom toys to decide what to give away and what to box. Two hours and about 8 packed boxes later it feels like we’re getting the packing show moving. It is still a while until we move (mostly like at the end of August)….but it is also not that long, and packing up a house takes a bit longer while looking after two children. Today they just enjoyed all the toys coming out, and they pottered around with them while we worked through it. Grace kept asking why we’re giving the toys in the donations box away – she doesn’t seem to be entirely convinced that that is the best option.

There are still going to be a lot of packing sessions, and a lot of boxes.
