So as our stuff got moved to Salt Lake it left Matt and the kids in a little bit of a bind as we had moved out of our house and and all their stuff was in Salt Lake so what did we do? Well as usual my parents came to the rescue for my wonderful, big family! So as they rearranged their entire house to accomodate my family the kids and Matt moved in with what we considered reasonable amounts of stuff (still a lot) and not trying to overtake their entire house. But as much as we tried we officially took over every square inch of what they have. Matt and the girls stay in one room and have all their stuff in the closet and a dresser, Jacob sleeps in the other bedroom which we moved a crib in and more of their stuff is stored in that room. My parents room has been taken over by baby diapers and wipes, the bathroom has princess toothbrushes and toothpaste in every drawer. Baby soap and play dishes in the bath tub. The kitchen is flooded with sippy cups and snacks on all the counters and in the cupboards. There are handprints everywhere. The formal living room has been turned into the play room with 3 big totes of toys. The living room has kids movies on every shelf and the laundry area constantly has dirty kids clothes. Oh and not to mention their garage has been filled with our belongings that did not make the moving truck.
And yes I forgot to mention the 2 dogs and their stuff...
My poor parents have Muniz Family stuff everywhere!!!!! But do you think they would say anything or even blink an eye at it, nope. They have welcomed us in with open arms and are making the best of every minute. As you can see above I am not sure this was such a good idea though, because now when we leave it is going to be drastic, pulling 3 kids with a ton of energy out of their house is going to make it very lonely and quiet. As crazy as it seems I think they are all enjoying it and picking up the pieces - they all make a pretty good team!
So for the last 4 weeks it has all worked out for the best, now that is from my perspective remember I am not there most of the time.
this last week might have been pushing it too far though...we had 3 kids with the flu and sicker than I have seen in a long time with my kids and of course all that leads to is sick Nana and Papa. Papa has officially gotten it and we feel horrible, especially since Matt and I are both gone, and we figure it is just a matter of time before Nana gets it. So we might have gone to far - the fun and games might not be so fun anymore!
We can't say thank you enough for all the help and support they have given us they made this crazy time in our life seem so smooth and easy on us!
