All of our household goods and unaccompanied baggage arrive this past week. Our girls are in HEAVEN! It was Christmas times 10! Every time they would open a box it was pure joy all over again. I am so happy to have everything back and we are mostly unpacked. The kitchen is a disaster though. I want to wash everything as it comes out of the box and our dishwasher is only so big (pretty small compared to US standards), so I want to do a load of dishes and start hand washing the rest. The same goes for all of our clothes and linens. They came out of the box with a weird smell, not horribly gross, but a tinge from the box. So I will be washing EVERYTHING, and that is going to take a few days. Hopefully we will be completely unpacked and everything hung on the walls by the time Steven goes back to work on Monday night.
The movers in England are another story! They were complete morons when it came to packing. Our bed is on a lift so that you can store things underneath. There is a bunch of screws and pieces of hardware that complete the bed. The bed had to be taken apart to get out of the house and into the crate, so they put random pieces in a lot of random boxes. Steven and I seriously searched for hours trying to find all the pieces. There was even a box with our bed linens and pillows in it and they put ONE piece in there when they all could have easily fit in there together, or they could of wrapped it all in the tissue paper like they did everything else, but no we had to go on a scavenger hunt. They even left on of the bolts to the girls beds at the old house and are lucky Steven found it there and I put it in a bag in my suitcase or one of the girls would not have a bed right now.
Milo is loving the couches. He has been sleeping there instead of our bed. We our LOVING our bed. We haven't slept on anything decent in 2 months so our backs have been killing us. Sleeping in our own bed for 2 nights has already helped, as I am already feeling the difference in my back.
We are just so happy to have everything and move on from this move! Now if only our car would get here, things would just be so peachy :) I'll post some pictures of the house once we are all unpacked, no more boxes and everything is up on the walls.
