Packing sucks

So ya, we got that house we apped for *yay* and are starting to pack to move. We have most of the upstairs and Saria's room ready to go, but I'm absolutely horrified at the thought of packing my bedroom because EVERYTHING in there smells like mildew, and some of our blankets that we had in the closet were nice and fuzzy green with the mold on them.. Seriously, the landlord is getting the 1200 we owe him and I doubt I'll wanna pay any more than that. Fixing the problem by telling us to wipe the windows (which obviously doesn't take the moisture out of the air in the bedroom because that room is always colder and wetter because there's a HOLE in the closet the size of my middle child. Anyway, before I go off into a tangent about how this place sucks, I'm happy to report that we are moving somewhere cheaper and prettier and has the same (round about) sized yard. So, FEBREEZE I hope you're a miracle worker because everything in this place stinks :D We'll probably actually vacate the first week or two of March, but we're getting ready so that we can ASAP when we get our tax return back.


On another note, Ben and Desiree had their bday party together the other day (Hila and Christina have a ton of pictures there so you can check those out because atm I'm extra lazy and don't feel like uploading a bunch of pictures hehe. But I do have ONE. We made Ben a cake on his actual birthday just to help his day be extra special, and I personally think it turned out great. Brad drew it with a toothpick onto the icing, and I iced it in with the same toothpick because I didn't have a decorator tip small enough and I was out of ziploc bags and the freaking cling wrap just burst hehe. He had a good day-choose where to eat for lunch, we had Popeyes, and whenever a choice between kids was to be made that day he got to pick first. I think that treating each kid a little more special on their birthday is a good idea and will do this with Saria and Sam too :D
