Today we are STAYING IN. The deck floor was painted yesterday, it rained last night, so the paint is still sticky. The deck furniture is in the kitchen! -as if we have room for extra stuff. Plus the linoleum has been torn up so we are walking on a hodgepodge of rugs. And the fridge is on the other side of the room. And there had been a drip under the sink leaving the wood soaked, so all the under-sink misc. is out and on the kitchen floor.
But life goes on. Thank God for a handy husband who works tirelessly to update the house on his days off . Don't stand still, you might be painted. The deck has been screened , floor painted, TV installed (on the deck? really? at least it's not in "my" kitchen!) Also, the new linoleum in the entryway is in place!
I've spent most of the day in the kitchen baking bread and making soup. The girls and I even made a little pesto and
"Peanutella"!
I preferred the pesto, but the girls thought it was neat to make our own peanut butter.
We changed the piggy's cage, changed the sheets on the girls' beds (a bi-monthly event. They hardly sleep in their own beds anyway!), and I'm proud of this:
I used an old curtain to make a sling for stuffed animals that were always on the floor. Now the toybox is just full, not overflowing.
It's 5 p.m. now we'll spend some time in the playroom reorganizing school stuff. Or not.
