Making a House a Home - Part 3

Part 2 left off with our last night in Revere, and so part 3 begins with us waking up early the next morning - it's officially MOVING DAY! Charlie, David & Shaun drove to Jac's to pick up some breakfast (this place had the BEST French Toast!) before the boys and I head back to the new house. The movers are expected to show up to pack up the boxes around 9am and someone needed to be at the new house for our second furniture delivery.

This was the new dining room set and a couch and love seat for the lower level. While I was waiting around, our new next door neighbors stopped by to say hello and invite us over to their cookout. They have 3 boys as well, but their youngest is 9. As she was leaving the cable man arrived to install our phone, cable and internet! It was nice that we were able to get it scheduled the same day! The delivery guys arrived right on the earlier side and set everything up and then Omi arrived for some back up so that I could get some things organized before Charlie and the movers arrived.





After all the delivery was made and the cable was hooked up, we were still waiting to hear from Charlie and the movers. I called to get a status; it was about 2pm at this point. He was expecting to have already been on the road but they were still working. So without a crib and no pack n play, I had no place to put Evan down for a nap, so we all decided to take a drive over to the mall and check it out. It's small but nice. I was able to find a comforter for David's new bed at a store called The Bon Ton. I had never heard of it before but it's basically another department store like JC Penny or Macy's. We ran a couple more errands and headed back to the house.

The movers arrived at 5pm and wasted no time getting things started. It had already been such a long day and there was still so much to be done.


They told us that any boxes we unpacked they would take back! It was great because that meant we wouldn't have all those boxes and trash lying around but it meant that we weren't going to have the luxury to take our time finding places for everything.

Kitchen disaster!


Bedroom disaster!


Playroom disaster!


While Charlie and the movers unpacked, I took the boys over to the neighbors and they had a fire going. It was a nice distraction for the boys and kept them out of the way. They road their bikes around the driveway and once the movers had put Evan's crib together we were able to put them to bed. They were exhausted and went right to sleep with no issues.

David sleeps UNDER his pillow!

It was going to be another long day, this time back in Revere to take the boys to a Birthday Party while the Doc and MIL clean up the old place. To be continued...
