Started Packing

Ben has been working on his mountain of books for a few days. He is putting them in an inventory type database (so that he knows what he has even when he is half a world away) and then boxing them up to store in his parents' attic. I figured I needed to start on some things in the house. I packed up 4 boxes of stuff for a garage sale (my sister-in-law is going to let us have a couple at her house) -- 2 boxes of the boys' toys and stuffed animals and 2 boxes of decorative stuff like vases, candles, knick-knacks, etc. I already feel a sense of accomplishment looking at those 4 boxes this morning. Ben looked at it and wondered what we needed with all that "stuff" in the first place...I told him to hold onto that thought when I start putting his stuff in boxes. :)
