Saying Goodbye to Her Childhood Home

- I'm gonna tell you some secrets
from the house that we're about to move from.
(orchestral music)
- Good morning everyone.
It is bright and early and these kids have basketball camp.
Are you excited?
- Uh huh. - Yeah!
- Yeah? Bailey's not wearing a dress today,
so that's something.
You can wear a dress and play basketball though.
You proved it yesterday.
The kids finished their basketball camp,
we're in Target now, getting lunch foods
because we don't know where any of our food is
at the new house.
We're looking for it,
but we wanna be able to feed them some food
so we're at Target buying food
and also some stationery supplies
'cause we don't know where any of that is either.
The coach told me that you did an excellent job today.
Did you have fun?
Yeah?
Were you playing hard?
Yeah?
Did you make a basket?
You did? Nice.
You did? Nice.
And Jacob, got an award today.
What award did you get?
- The dirtiest face.
- [Christopher] The dirtiest face!
And we can see why you received that award.
What else happened today? Anything else?
- I bonked my head today
and I got bonked with a basketball two times.
- [Christopher] You got bonked with a basketball two times.
- Yeah and it hurt really bad.
- Where? Where did it hit you on?
- Right here, right here and then right here.
- [Christopher] (laughs) Wow.
Jacob goes all in when it's Cynosport,
he is a hundred percent.
But you okay?
- Yeah.
- [Christopher] Cool.
Jacob is doing his drum lessons right now,
and Bailey and I are at the old house.
Here we are, back again, what do you think of that?
- Fun.
- We're gonna pick up odds and ends
and just kinda check the house.
There's a lot of stuff that still needs
to get set-up to be donated.
We have a donation pick up happening here tomorrow.
- I'm gonna tell you some secrets
from the house that we're about to move from.
So first of all, there are power outlets.
Each power outlet is different.
This power outlet is very oddly shaped, so is this one.

But the paint's chipped off a little more on the other one.
I'm also going to miss this wall, it's a very pretty,
I'm also going to miss this wall, it's a very pretty,
normal, basic, wood wall.
I'm gonna miss all the lights.
There are so many lights in the house.
I cannot count how many lights there are.
This is a black power outlet.
This is a black power outlet.
It's a really cool black one.
I have not seen black power outlets
like in my whole life before this.
There's a very oddly chipped power outlet.
There are these two lights.
There are lots of lights here.
The door is pretty cool, it's got a peek hole.
This room, is one of the best rooms.
It's got a hidden person.

This is pretty cool, this little frame around the toilet.
It's like a little person peeking out at you right there.
This light switch is very odd.
It's attached to a power outlet.
It's a very odd light switch, power outlet.
This one, has pink on it.

That's kinda strange, why would a light switch have pink?
That's kinda strange, why would a light switch have pink?
This, is our kitchen.
The lights are pretty cool.
I like the roof lights.
Those are nice.
I miss the shelves, one time they fell down,
now we put nothing in them,
they're just shelves sitting there.
I like this shelf right here,
holds a lot of stuff.
I really love this wallpaper,
it's really nice.
(laughs)
Over here, we have three light switches.
One's for the sky light, which is up there,
and the other two, are for the two fan lights.

These, these one's for the really pretty
fan light right there.
And this one's for the small light, right there.
And this one's for the small light, right there.
But we have another one of those lights at the new house.
I'm very happy about that.
So many lights, lights, lights every where.
So many lights, lights, lights everywhere.
Just light, and a light, and a light,
and a light, and a light, and a light,

This is a very pretty hand-painted wood design.

We have the window seat.
- [Christopher] This castle's coming with us.
- [Bailey] This castle definitely.
- [Christopher] I trusted the movers with a lot of things,
but one thing I did not trust them with,
is this castle.
So, I will be moving this castle.
I'll probably pick it up and walk it to the new house.
(laughs)
Just to be safe.
- [Bailey] That's gonna take us forever Daddy.
- That's true.
Think there's a book there that I can't see
unless you're really far away.
Ah-ha!
George Orwell, 1984.
Classic. Never read it, but it's a classic.
- [Bailey] I'm gonna miss this shelf right here.
It looks like the balloon actually
It looks like the balloon actually
stopped floating in the sky.
Ooh this is pretty.
I'm gonna miss this.
This floor, this is really pretty floor.
I'm gonna miss Daddy's office.
I think he's gonna miss it a little more than I do.
- Can't forget my top hat.
(laughs)
Guys, think I wanna donate all these hats.
- [Bailey] That's your hat collection.
- I know, but I never wear hats.
- [Bailey] Garage. (laughs)
And Owls, we're not getting rid of Owls.
You are so funny, why are you up there?
Can you tell me why?
You don't know?
Why are you up there?
How did you get up there?
He's really cute.
I miss this backyard.
I played many games in it,
at this hiding place right here,
this is a fun little secret.
It's a hiding place here.
It goes up to here,
this little stream we built.
That was fun.
I hid right here one time when I was playing hide and seek.

And Parker walked right past me
and looked me straight in the eyes.
This, is the best part, of pretty much my whole house
This, is the best part, of pretty much my whole house
that I'm really gonna miss.
This hideout.
This hideout.
So you walk through here, used to play a lot in here.
So you walk through here, used to play a lot in here.
Just pretend the sprinklers were microphones.
Walk under this huge pine tree.
I think it's a pine tree.
No, probably not a pine tree.
Smells kinda like a pine tree though.
It looks kinda like a pine tree.
And when we play our games we pretend these are berries,
but we never really eat them.
We pretend this is spinach.
We pretend this is weed.
Might actually be weed, but you never know.
Here is our little sitting place, where we like to sit.
Here is our little sitting place, where we like to sit.
If we're in a movie, definitely.
This is a cup I painted
and I worked really hard on it.
And I'm gonna bring you over here,
and out of the hideout this way.
And we step on this big plastic pool right here.
That's a funny pool.
I like the ceiling.
Here, it's kinda weird.
Bathroom. It's pretty cool.

I love these, they're so cool,

That wallpaper's really nice.
Love this floor, it's really nice too.
This light, miss that a lot, it's really pretty.
The bathroom, it's fun
'cause you can just stick your head in here

and then close the mirrors around you
and then there's a whole bunch of you.
This is Tulip, he's not getting donated
or sold or anything like that.
This is my bedroom wallpaper.
This is Jacob's room.
Bed's getting donated.
And here's the sky light.
And there's this, which I am not very proud of of Parker,
And there's this, which I am not very proud of of Parker,
when he was let's say two.

He kicked the walls with his shoes on,
and now the whole area is all muddy.

So that is something odd.

These are, it's hard to see, but it's these little things
that you can use to open the windows,
close them, it's really really really cool.
Bet mommy and daddy never noticed that.
Another mirror.
We've a lot of mirrors in this house.
That's all the secrets of our house.
I hope you enjoyed watching them,

- We're at the new house house now,
and we're gonna do something we've excited about
since day one when we were talking about this house.
It's a fire pit.
These are old cabinets that we took out
and we've got to tear them apart,
and probably burn them as well.
We're gonna burn some stuff.
- [Parker] Daddy!
- [Christopher] What?
- We're making a store with these.
- We're making a store with these.

Oh you guys have been playing store?

Please? - I won't destroy it, yet.
Are you guys excited?
- [Parker] Yeah.
- [Jacob] Yeah.
- Woah.
- You guys like our fancy patio furniture?
It's folding chairs and dresser drawers.
It's good stuff.
Fire pit's done, we're letting it kinda fizzle out.
And now it's time for the kids
to have their bedtime story and go to bed.
We are reading Treasure Island right now,
which is one of my personal favorite books
to read to the kids.
It's a little scary, there's some like death in it.
But the kids seem to really enjoy it.
And I really enjoy reading it,
I think it's a great book.
Super fun, lots of adventure,
and so that's what we're reading right now.
Ooh you found the thing that fits things.
How's all these organization going?
- Oh I didn't know I was being filmed.
- [Christopher] I'm sneaky.
- You're so sneaky.
I'm like very excited about this,
but like kind of disappointed.
I'm trying to figure it out.
- [Christopher] Like needs one.
- Oh, that's not gonna do.
Here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm very excited about this right now.
Okay watch this.
I'm gonna do that, and that way I can put the minis
that go in here, there's only, each one has two.
So it all fit with its lid.
We have three big kids whose lunches need packed, and bam.
Hi, let's talk about what we learned today.
We learned that our old house have power outlets.
We learned that the floor underneath
our old washing machine is really pretty.
And finally we learned
that we own really fancy patio furniture.
Thanks for watching everybody, we'll see you next time.
(laughs)
