Stages

Some weeks ago we had the first of many yard sales. This was after what felt like a successful interview but before I found out that I was offered the job. We had the kids go through their rooms and clean and make the decision of what toys they would put into two bins that we provided them that they would like us to ship on the container to NZ.

We sold what was in good condition and threw away a lot of junk. This was a "things are getting real" moment for the kids and it gave them the opportunity to feel all the feels and go through the stages between excitement and trepidation, of looking forward as well as missing what they are leaving behind. They love their rooms.

They all did a great job.
