Muffins, Men, and Moving

So, yesterday I made muffins. In the midst of moving and packing and taking care of my men, we had some bananas that were going brown and a few apples sliced in the fridge that no one was eating, so I made muffins. Apple Banana Oatmeal Muffins-they were yummy...I wonder if that's sort of my stress relief. I mean, I didn't need to make them, and quite honestly, I'll end up eating most of them. ha. But it was kinda nice to make them...I just wish the dishes cleaned themselves afterwards.

We are moving this week. I did not realize how hard this is to do with two mobile men under the age of 3...who get into everything, and unpack the toy box every time I put the toys away. It's amazing all the people up here who move so often-minimalism is the key! I have thrown so much stuff away, donated so much stuff, and we have a closet full of things to take to donate to the GC Camp Yardsale Fundraiser-and we still seem to have too much stuff!

But, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Our apartment is starting to look a little more empty, and our new house is starting to come to life. We've painted our bedroom and the boys' room, and my good friend Liz is painting an awesome mural on the boys' wall. Today, I'm going to take some more stuff over there. My downfall is that I want everything in and settled immediately! I hate the feeling of being unsettled. So, as soon as I get in there with the boxes, I go into a frenzy of finding a spot for it to fit. So, we will have everything moved in by Saturday afternoon, and our new place will be settled and decorated by Saturday evening. That's just the way it is. Ha.
