Packing

I am taking a quick break from packing to update the blog! We have 45 days until we leave for the US. Even though it seems like plenty of time to pack, our days are busy with all of our school responsibilities so we are taking advantage of our mid-term break this weekend to pack like crazy! The students left Friday at lunchtime to go home (or to a friend's house if home is too far away). The seniors in my Advanced Cooking class all headed off to the coast for their big Senior Safari. The students earn money all through high school with various fundraising events and then this weekend they get to relax on the beach and enjoy their efforts!

Since the students don't return until Monday night we are using our weekend to pack up whatever we think we can live without for the next 6 weeks. Tomorrow (Sunday) we will take a break and head out to Naivasha for church and lunch with  my brother's family.

Here are a few pictures of what our house looks like in the midst of packing chaos!

Boxes, boxes everywhere!

Empty shelves...the goal!

All packed up and ready to store...just hope we don't have to dig back in there to find something!

The kids have been troopers about Mom and Dad packing. They have been helping us a lot - putting things into boxes, dusting, carrying the garbage out, etc. This afternoon, they took their own break from packing to build a fort outside under the picnic table.
