Some of the highlights:
- The guys trying to move in our armoire without realizing it was packed full of boxes (we didn't do that -- they did!); one of the movers almost getting smashed flat in the process
- Zachary greeting his bicycle like it was a long lost friend
- The boys playing with the neighbor kids like they've known each other for years
- Finding out that the washing machine doesn't work very well
- Boxes stacked higher than my mom in the kitchen
- Unpacking every one of those boxes and organizing the kitchen
- Gavin acting extra sad and needy all day (not to mention the night before...)
- Nearly collapsing of heart failure when the piano didn't play correctly after delivery/assembly
- Breathing The Hugest Sigh of Relief Ever when Mr. Mover Guy fixed it
- Having yummy dinner delivered by our nearest Mormon neighbors
- Garry feeling defeated when he can't figure out an electrical problem downstairs
- Aunt Heidi painting all hours of the night
- All of us feeling ecstatic that the boys' bedroom, the family room, and the office are all completely painted (and look fabulous)
- Playing "Don't Eat Pete" for FHE until all the jelly beans were gone
- Making our bed and putting clothes in the dresser
- Watching "The Office" before bed like we have nothing better to do

So glad that much is behind you. Heidi said the downstairs looks awesome, especially the boy's room. I know you are all completely exhausted. Just remember, it will all seem worth it when the boxes are empty and out of sight. Get a great nights rest.
Good job! Sounds like you're handling all the craziness like a pro. I can't wait to see pictures of the newly-painted rooms!
I think watching "The Office" is the perfect way to end a day. Good choice.
I do not envy you having to unpack, since I've done that twice in the last year and a half. Yuck. But soon it'll be over.
Well, I think I'm keeping my days pretty busy for it being summer and all, but my Monday was nowhere near that productive, that's for sure! I'm kind of glad, and also kind of jealous. :)
