Abilene, Texas

Yesterday after driving all morning, the kids and I thought we would let dad rest since he drove all day and went to find a park. We found the coolest park not far from where we stopped so the bigger kids were able to ride their bikes while I pushed Elijah in the stroller. The kids had so much fun, except poor Elijah fell and bit his lip pretty hard. He was sad for a minute but was quickly distracted by the swings and was all smiles after that.

See ya later New Mexico

Well, our early 4 am start turned into a 6 am start, but we are finally on our way! First stop: Abilene, Texas!

Sooooo Tired

I've been working so hard today trying to get the trailer all ready to live in for a month and then getting my house ready to be able to leave it for a month. I carried laundry basket after laundry basket worth of stuff out to the camper today. I had a sweet friend who offered to watch my kids while I got stuff done today. She is so awesome! I love my kids, but it's no secret that it is easier to be productive when they aren't here. They are cute though and pretty excited about moving into the trailer. Kent and Rachel both asked if they could sleep in the trailer tonight. It's crazy that this is actually happening! I need to get to sleep now because we are waking up bright and early dto hit the road tomorrow!!

Organizing the Camper

So I'm not sure if I mentioned this in the last post, but our family is leaving for the first leg of our journey for our trip to FLORIDA on Friday. As of 2 days from now. I have so much to do and no where even near enough time to do it all.
Today I was working on organizing our camper. I feel like the only way we can live in such a small space with our family if 5 is if we are super super organized. If anyone knows me even remotely well, they could tell you that is something I have NEVER been good at. Anyway here are a couple of pictures of my attempt at organizing. The third picture is of the space under one of the table benches.
