The party's over

...the guests have gone home and now the work really begins.

Packing for the move to Boston.

Today Janet sorted books, baby clothes, picture frames and the craft closet.  I toted goodwill donations and trash  out... empty boxes in...in between laundry  load and Violet duty.

 We accomplished so much...why does it look like we didn't do a thing?!

 Tonight I tucked Violet in to bed...numerous times.  We read books, sang songs, snuggled...and gave a few gentle threats.  We started the process at 8:30 and Violet was finally snoozing peacefully at 11:00 pm...in the middle of her bedroom floor...with me right beside her...also snoozing.  All in all it was a smooth and tearless tuck-in...it just took a very long time to accomplish the deed...the price you pay when she has a good nap during the day.
