Join me. In my bedroom.
Gawd knows there is room for you all now. Dave and I disassembled and or moved:
A trundle bed.
A crib.
A queen sized bed.
A full sized bed.
Three nightstands.
A cedar chest.
Five dressers.
Two rugs.
A wooden toybox.
A bookcase.
Various odds and ends.
A TV.
And a VCR.
The upstairs is completely empty and carpet ready. I vacuumed, photographed, and wrote permanent little love notes on the floors to all who sleep there. ;)
The other "To-Do's" for the day shall wait until tomorrow. Those are:
Going through all the toys for trash and garage sale items.
Going through all the books (five large boxes) and pulling most of them for the garage sale.
Priming the guest room. YAY.....finally!!!
Instead of doing the things listed above, we went to Home Depot (I really want to work there....*sigh*) and Meijer. We got the primer and dark green paint for the guest room, and a new light fixture. Also grabbed grass seed, some shelves for the kitchen, and shelves for Trent's room.
The plan is for the carpet to be done by tomorrrow night, and the stair runner to go in a Tuesday. I need to go look for new dressers tomorrow. I'm so glad to be rid of the old Wal-Mart Sauder brand pieces of crap!
Yesterday was a long day.....we got off to a late start and had to rearrange our picture appointment time. That put us at Dave's work shin-dig early, but it was fun. There were all sorts of cool things for the kids to do. The bouncy house, a bungee card race thing, a blown up super slide, a 25" climbing tower,face painting, etc. The lines were long so the kids didn't get to do everything before we had to leave but they had fun. Trent went all the way to the top of the climbing tower. Devin freaked a bit and wanted down. As soon as she was down she changed her mind and cried when she couldn't go back up. :( They both got their faces painted like tigers. They also got to see the Aero-Med helicopter land. We had a nice lunch and scooted off to the Sears appointment. Maiya did pretty well and her pictures will be ready for pick-up on the 20th. We drove like crazy after that and would have been on time to meet my sister, except for whatever happened on the freeway 5 miles from our destination. It took me 50 minutes to go those 5 miles. Gotta love the big city. I so do not miss that! Trent nearly had a stroke when he discovered he was going to have to pee in a pop bottle, because there is just no pulling over on the side of the road in the city. *Snicker* Dinner was good, and the drive home long...but today has been sooooo quiet! I talked to both kidlets a little while ago and they are of course both fine and wanting no part of coming home yet.
***Cute Bunny alert!!!***
The other day while waiting for traffic to clear, she is sitting next to me with her arm waving around in the air. Ha! Took me a minute, but I realized that she was doing the "Mr. Trucker Man, please honk your big horn" move. She's been watching her brother and sister (okay...and mom) do it on these long drives.
Today at Meijer when the cashier asked her if she was having fun shopping, she shook her head no.
Yesterday when I told her to go get Trent for breakfast, she went a grabbed him by the hand and said "Ca-mon."
Tonight while Dave talked to Trent on the phone she grabbed her play phone and started yakking away. Of course she didn't make a peep when she had the real phone to her ear with both Trent and then Devin on the other end.
Taking such good care of all the baby dolls around here.
...........such a sweet baby. She's moving out of the crib when the carpet is done. Surprise! I am waffling on this though, so we shall see. The plan is to put her in the bottom trundle bed....it's about 6" off the floor. She has always taken nap and bedtime very serious, there is no fussing and carrying on with her. She lays down. End of story for her. Never wanted to be rocked, held, messed with. Just wants to go to bed. I have one of the extra tall baby gates and I'll put that in the doorway until I can go back (duh!) to Meijer's and get the one that mounts to the wall with the swing open door.
Happy Friendship Day to all....it's darn near over. I wanted to get my scanner up and running today so I could post a picture of my friend of all friends...Shanny. I shall add it to tomorrow's list. :)
