Well, we are getting somewhere now! I have odds and ends of painting to do, the trim will be on soon and Kevin plans to have the cupboards done tonight. Tomorrow I'm planning on getting flooring, a bit more paint and the tiles for the mudroom. My guess is in a couple of weeks I'll be moving back upstairs. Before we move back into the kitchen/ diningroom, I will have to clean and vacuum everywhere. We decided to leave the laundry room for now, it's not necessity to have it done. I can still do my wash.
I love the colours I picked out for the walls and look forward to washing dishes while watching the sunset out my patio door. We have a long way to go with the outdoor cleanup but that will be something to work at over the next few years. We did a lot over the last 10 years making changes, so maybe we'll work the next 10 making more.
My sister Karen and niece Kalli were here last week with the little boy they babysit. They hadn't been here since we started so it was quite a surprise for them. It was a quick visit because Owen had to be back for his afternoon nap. He was blowing bubbles with Katrina and he thought Josiah's trucks and tractors were pretty cool.
Well, I need to go help the guys load truck. Even though it's holiday Monday, the truck still has to take plants to Toronto. After that I need to go home and find lunch pails and thermoses, etc, for lunches tomorrow. I can't believe school is here already. I always have mixed feelings about this day. I love having them around but it will be easier to clean and get the organizing done in the house. It always scares me a little that we entrust our kids to total strangers for 8 hours every day. The teacher sees them more than we do! I am not willing to homeschool though so I must accept this decision we have made but attempt to get involved with the staff and be a teacher's "helper".
My goodness, I really need to go now. I wrote more than I meant to.
