Day 40

Well, the last two days have been good ones! Yesterday, we girls took off to Home Depot ("Daddy's favowite orwange store") and then to Sherwin Williams.  After some yummy PB&J for lunch, I got to painting during naptime -- working on the huge toy chest that we found here.  I had to clean it first -- cleaned up what someone told me was cat vomit -- made me want to vomit right on top of it.  ugh.  Anyway, I finished that today and am ready to put it to work!

Last night, James came home for a yummy dinner, then we just relaxed for the evening. It was awfully nice. I got a little laundry done and he did some studying.  Today, he cleaned up the tool room and got his desk moved into the "office" (ha).  He also got the rest of the doors put back on and cleaned out the garage. The girls are spending the night with Granbee and Poppy, and we spent the evening with old friends (half of them family!), catching up.  Good times were had by all. 

Off to bed for us.  No little alarm clocks to wake us in the morning. Had better turn our alarms up. :-)

Day 38 -- PRODUCTIVE!!!

Well, I finally feel like I had another productive day around here. Not only was I showered, dressed, coffeed, and read before the girls got up, we did laundry, "office" work, phone calls, dishwasher shopping, grocery shopping, naps, park-playing, eating, eating, eating, and dusting. (Lots of it with Auntie Hay at our sides)  I also mounted the girls' new towel hooks, the bathroom towel ring, the whiteboard calendar, and the bathroom clock -- which I FINALLY found in the "attic."  I also put the hall cabinet doors back on and swept and mopped the kitchen/dining room.  Wait, there's more... This all occurred while B-I-L Jeff used the grinder on the back room, filling our house with the most pleasant of noises. But he did pause a couple of hours for naptime and stayed to eat dinner with us, AND he's done with the grinding. It looks great!  Thank you, Jeff!  We also got all of our boxes taken out to Uncle Curt's in preparation for their move next week.  YAY! 

I'm truly ready for bed tonight! 

Day 37 -- Yes, I skipped 36

I figure being at work on Day 36 absolves me of responsibility for blogging, right??

Day 37 was a day of not much -- sleeping, church.   Now James and Jeff are clearing out the back room to get ready for Jeff to do carpet. I feel like we've been "getting ready" in there for 2 weeks now.  ugh.  Any day now...

And I'm feeling a bit ready for bed. I know, I slept all day...

Day 35

A fun day of Target shopping, long naps, dinner and playtime at Granbee's and an LC for me!  So we're all home tonight unexpectedly. So fun!

Didn't do much around the house except dishwashing and laundry. :-)  I did give the incredibly stinky diaper pail a good scrub tonight. It's airing out on the porch.  Is 2-1/2 years too much to ask out of the poor thing?? 

Off to bed...

Day 34

Well, I slept while the fam attended church -- what a slacker. :-)  After heavenly naps for us all, we joined our church family for a smorgasbord of yummy Thanksgiving food.  What a treat to enjoy fellowship over our meal, and I was able to catch up with a good friend. And G ate all real food -- pasta salad, sweet potatoes, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls.  What a gal!  She's growing up so fast!  Charis, of course, enjoyed running in circles with her cousins/friends and making several trips to the dessert tables.  Ah, the life of a toddler.

James got the doors put back on this afternoon. SO NICE! 

Laundry and ironing tonight, then off to bed with a new Frasier DVD.  This is the life...
