Probably not surprising but I was already feeling pretty maxed before the flood. Clearly this is going to be too much for me. I had zero plans of changing up the downstairs.
Eric is moving non stop. He's being great about my crazy. In order to move gift bags upstairs I needed to cull. I resisted counting. It was a wildly crazy amount of gift bags. I kept about 25%. Eric didn't question me. In the scheme of things to be done it was stupid but he just went and got them for me. I don't like the basement and I always avoid going. Here is where I confess that I buy bags and use wrapping paper rather than go down there to the scary basement and the crowded messy storage closet. Hard to imagine our family has received that many gifts.
When Eric finished the floor upstairs the kids books were boxed up and moved to our bedroom. I need room on the shelf for some of my books that are moving up so I finally did the kids books. Luk and Kai worked with me for two hours. They brought all of the books to me and since they could only manage a couple at a time I had lots of time to sort. Got a whole lot culled out. All the girly, princess ones, all the younger ones and everything that is about kids misbehaving and learning lessons. Not sure moral stories will teach the boys morals or just how to misbehave. Then after dinner the boys helped box up the ones going. We kept Jia away from the project because she wants to keep them all. Lili came up to help but ended up stuck on memory lane. I had to keep a couple for her ;)
