The dumpster

We rented a dumpster this week.  I've been throwing away old clothes, trash, and cardboard boxes that we had piled up.  Shannon and I have tried to go through our stuff (that's been packed away in the garage) and throwing away anything and everything we don't need, use, or fit in.  Kyle doesn't like us to be in the garage, he starts crying and having a tantrum.  It's not part of "the routine" so when things don't go the way they are supposed to or if we aren't in the right place, he freaks out. 

This week is Spring Break, so Kyle has been home from school.  Next week [while Kyle is in school] we plan on throwing away about 98% of his toys that are scattered all around the floor and continue to go through our stuff we have in the garage.  We just want to downsize as much as possible so we have less to pack and move.  We decided to throw away all of his baby clothes and toddler clothes. 

Today, Shannon and I got through 3 boxes or so.  Shannon had to go watch Kyle so I did another 2 boxes while he was doing that. 

Overall, I am excited that we will soon (hopefully) have our own place.  I am also looking forward to start looking for jobs in a bigger city that we are moving to.
