[quote=Anonymous]Pack one or two boxes with the following:  bed sheets for everyone's bed, sleep clothes, toiletries, paper towels, toilet paper, bath towels.  Make sure that goes in your car with you and you know where it is.

When you arrive at the house, make sure one of the first things that you do on move-in day is set up beds for everyone and make them.  This way whenever you are ready to collapse (and you will push yourself pretty hard the first day), then you have everything you need to shower and roll into bed.  The last thing you want to do at the end of that long first day is have to hunt for bedsheets, bath towels and have to make beds before you can collapse.

For young kids like yours, plan some activity for them to do while moving in.  Either pack a box of games/toys/books for them or plan some activities to keep them occupied or plan for someone who can come and take them off for a few hours.

Plan meals for the first day.  Get drinks, a cooler of ice, and look for delivery (something like Pizza or Chinese) near your new house.  Print out a menu and phone number so that you don't have to hunt for the info when you get hungry.

Ideally you should find a kennel or pet boarding location for the first day or two you are in the new house.  When you are coordinating with movers, the doors are propped open, many extra people are wandering through the house and a completely new location without even the familiar furniture is not the best experience for kittens.  They'll be able to acclimate much better if you wait until the move-in chaos is over to introduce them to your and their new home.[/quote]
