Never Hungry

Last Wednesday, I was planning to make one last trip to the old house to empty the fridge and freezer, now that we had our own at the house. At the last minute, I decided to race over before Courtney left for school, so I could finish the chore without Kai's "help". I had about 40 minutes. The old house is two miles away.

I forgot, however, that we didn't have trash bags at the old house. So I had to carry food out to the dumpster in small loads. I also didn't have quite enough boxes/bags to pack...I ended up stealing the ice-maker box to carry the last of it out to the car. But I made it! Here are a couple pictures of my car packed with food. The first is the boot, with one seat down (I have a carseat for Kai in the other seat, which has been a struggle this entire move, but I use it too often to take it out):



This is my passenger seat - my car thought my "passenger" was not wearing a seatbelt and beeped at me the entire drive home (You'll see it's very chaotic because I didn't have everything bags/boxes.):



I've tackled our pantry several times since moving. This is, hopefully, the final configuration:



But as I mentioned, the fridge we got was not the one we wanted. Today, they came to swap out the first fridge for a new one. I got a picture of the two guys carrying the "old" fridge out on a strap.



But before they came, I had to empty the fridge. We have a smaller fridge in the garage, so I planned to shift as much as possible into that fridge temporarily because there was a two hour window for the swap. Here is the garage fridge, slightly full:



This evening, Bryce helped me carry everything from the garage into the kitchen, so I could arrange our food for the fifth(?) time. I'm not sure if everything fits better in this fridge or if I'm unusually familiar with the bottles, jars, and food stuffs we keep in our fridge.

  1. You should have called this post Shell Game Part 3, because Part 1 was the day we rented the U-Haul the first time when we consolidated the three storage units to one, sorted out all the stuff we wanted to sell at the yard sale (including more large and heavy items), moved it to the garage in the old house and then unloaded it all there, nearly filling the three car garage.

    1. There's some truth to this. This entire move has involved a great deal of that.
