Will that make you come back to see it? Hint: It is adorable and it made Daddy's day!

I got a bit overwhelmed today with the whole moving business, suddenly realizing that I have ONE week left to get everything into ship-shape before people come to help. I wasn't exactly as prepared as I should've been last time (which led to far too much last minute stuff being thrown into trash bags!) and overwhelmed with all the j.u.n.k. we had.
I have grand visions of having the entire place lined with perfectly stacked boxes, a beautiful spread laid out for the hard workers and me sitting outside sipping lattes (not that I drink lattes...). Okay, maybe my visions aren't exactly realistic......I guess:)
Anyways, you know what I'm up to! Samuel is handling the move much better now and has jumped on board the "excited wagon" that the rest of us are in! I am so glad that this end of the transition will be good. The school transition will be another story but at least we don't have to deal with that yet!
And the part that Zakkai is the most excited about? Getting to stay in a hotel with Grandma next Friday night! The boys get to have a fun night/day with their Gma (and not under our feet!), who is helping us SO much by coming to help out with them. Plus if Z were around, he would be stopping the movers every 3.4 seconds to ask them questions about the truck, the boxes, their shoes, the lights, the new apt, etc:)

Next Thursday I have a federal investigator from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety something or other coming to talk to me. We had an "incident" the other day that I reported. In February I bought a lightweight sweatshirt at Target for E to wear. She's worn it a handful of times and I love(d) it because it is super-soft and keeps her not too hot/not too cold.
But. Little Miss puts-everything-into-her-mouth likes to chew on her clothes and especially zippers. Can you see where this is going? Thankfully not as bad as it could've been! The other day I took her out of her carseat and was holding her on my hip while I hung up my coat. She was holding onto her sweatshirt and I heard the sound of something metal hit the ground.
It was the zipper handle. Just completely detached. I was very upset when I thought about how easily that could've been in her mouth or even her hand! She so easily could've choked on it or swallowed it. So I reported it to Target that night, thinking that they would want to know so as to prevent a more serious incident from happening with another baby.
They sent me back an email saying they were "so sorry I was disappointed with my product" and that they knew "how frustrating it can be to have a product not work out." blah blah blah. So I reported it to the safety consumer people and they obviously are taking it seriously! They are coming to take pictures, take the sweatshirt and zipper part and are going to Target to buy more sweatshirts to send to get tested!
I'm just thankful E's guardian angel was watching over her and that she wasn't chewing on the zipper this time when it fell off.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the trash bag method during moving! :)
Gma can't wait to spend the night in the hotel with the boys, too!
Gma just might have a toy for each one!!
SO thankful E did not swallow/choke on the zipper. You did the right things by moving up the chain. Good for you!
That's awesome that the consumer saftey people are following up on the zipper issue! Way to be an assertive mama!
As you know I agree with Charity. Nothing wrong will trash bag method to move. Used that method to drive back from Florida. You can pack a lot of trash bags in car. Will be praying.
