Unpacking in our new place

This is the first time we have had movers pack our stuff for us....and it didn't take very long to figure out the big difference compared to when we packed our own stuff. Movers use a LOT of paper!

Here is the pile of paper that came out of that one box...was there anything besides paper in there???

This was taken when we had unpacked a little over half of the boxes. Just in case anyone is wondering on the proper paper packing protocol: #1 when in doubt use 10 sheets at a time. #2 Wrap everything! (plastic items, coloring books, doesn't matter, just wrap it) #3 When you think the box is full, add 10 more sheets just to make sure. Thankfully, I found a recycling center here (even though it is only open for 1 hour today, and for 30 minutes on wednesday) and we filled up 22 black trash bags with all the paper! WOW!

Random pic--blasted stickers that are EVERYWHERE out here. They get tracked in on our shoes and then of course you never find them until you are barefoot. Lots of vaccuuming will be going on.
