It's been a little Crazy

It has almost been a week since we moved into hour new place and it has been nuts.  I don't think we could have picked a worse week to move...here is how it went.
Thursday night Josh and I went to the final walk through which was lead by the oldest Peterson Son, we got a lot of childhood stories.  That night Wynter threw up all over our bed.  Friday morning Josh and I dropped off the kids and went to the closing on the house.  We signed about a million papers, met the rest of the Petersons' who are very nice people, and started moving boxes.  We got about three loads in before our friend Brandon got off work hitched up his trailer and was on his way to meet us to pick up the fridge some friends are giving us when he got pulled over.  His trailer wasn't registered.  So the friends with the fridge took Josh to pick up their box truck, (they own a book store) and they met the other friend who had parked the trailer on the road back at their house where they began to load it.  At the apartment our Friends the Garvins' came over and helped load the rest of the truck. We went to dinner with the helpers, then went to pick up our kids.  That night Josh and I slept on top of of blankets since I hadn't had a chance to do any laundry.  Saturday morning We had 7 men and 2 women show up to load the box trucks, while another friend took the kids for the morning. We were in the new house with in 3 hours. 
Mia had dance competition in the afternoon so we got some lunch and headed to dance.  We left before the awards since they weren't until 8:30pm.  McKinlee was up set because she wanted to go the the old place, so we took here there and she changed her mind.  McKinlee woke up in the middle of the night and threw up all over Mia and their bed.
Sunday: Josh went to church, I stayed home because McKinlee was sick and I had no idea where any of or clothes were.  I washed the sheets from both beds but I didn't have a dryer so I hung them up to dry.  Got the beds made, Josh came home and we tried to set up the Internet because we had some stuff that needed to be taken care of, 3 hours later we had to go back to the old place to hook up the Internet because it wouldn't work.  Two hours later still no luck on getting the wireless setup, we realized there was a problem with the thing they sent us.  So we went out to dinner.  We had dessert and sang Happy Birthday to Mckinlee, a nice man sitting by us came over and gave McKinlee 5 bucks for her birthday! Then he felt bad and gave Mia 2 and Wynter 1. McKinlee threw up in our bed that night.
Monday was McKinlee's birthday.  We took her out to celebrate, I forgot my camera so we had to get a disposable from Ritz, I will post on that after I get them developed. We ran some errands and the day was over.
Tuesday we  had to clean the old apartment so we could turn in the keys.  Josh ran errands and tried to get the dryer working, and Internet.  Several trips to Home Depot and still no dryer, or Internet the day ended and nothing else was done.  Wednesday Josh went back to work for half a day. Spent the rest of it working on the dryer but we finally got the Internet. 
Thursday we finally got a working dryer Hallelujah! Picked up a closet for the kitchen pantry, finally got the kids clothes put away.  So here it is a week later and I am still swimming in a sea of boxes, but hopefully we can tackle it this next week.
