Well, it is definitely true that we have been living in the cabin longer than expected. With that being said, it is also true that all our things are still packed up in Wisconsin in a two car garage. That includes all our seasonal decorations. It is kinda funny to think about everything we own fits into a two car garage. And really, when we get it back, it will be about one year that we have done without all of it! I suppose it is a good lesson in learning what you really need to live with and what is just all extra.
For example, the giant box of stuffed animals that the kids could not live without apparently was not true, because they have been living without them all. And the toys! No one really seems to believe me when I say that our kids do a really great job with a pile of dirt and a stick. It really is true! And I see it everyday. Now I suppose you could ask me if I would trade them just sitting and playing with toys verses the amount of mud and dirt I am challenged with while doing laundry and my answer would be that I would not.
I think about all the clothes I packed up for myself and the fact that I have lived so long without them makes me think I do not really need all of that. I do not even remember what is in all of those boxes!
Today, we spent a good hour making our own easter baskets. You know, a balloon and some paper machete! It is just really hard for me to buy more stuff that we already have packed up in WI. I mean how many easter baskets does one really need? The kids had a great time!
