packing and things

So this week my assignment is to pack so we can move across the state in time for the boys to start school on Monday. So far I am getting most of the packing done with little to no help form the boys, no big surprise there. Today after letting them both know I thought they were lazy little slugs and watching TV all day and picking at each other was no help and they should go out side and do something. With in minutes the oldest boy comes in the house in tears and sobbing. What the heck is going on, I am thinking. Well turns out that both his bikes are gone. Not his only bike but both ,yes two, are gone. (one of the bikes he just got a few months ago for his birthday) He had rode one of the bikes this morning and left them both in the side yard and tonight they are gone. We were home all day the kids are running in and out of the house and apparently some one wanted the bikes more than our oldest. Now to me that takes a lot of nerve to "jack" something in daylight out of your fenced yard. Ugh so any way I need to pack up all our stuff and hope the next people who move in here do not get their things "jacked" from the yard.
