Getting Started!

Well Mom and Dad had another busy weekend. After surviving one of the craziest, busiest, and most draining weeks ever at work, Mom and Dad embarked on yet another adventure. On Saturday, we did lots of errands and even got a chance to meet up with my uncle, aunt, cousin, and cousin on the way. Mom's brother, my uncle, told Mom of a great place where Mom and Dad could get the closet organizers they planned to use for a cheap price, with the proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity. Mom and Dad jumped on that opportunity and were able to get almost all the pieces for over half of what they would paid at the big hardware stores. After being successful in getting their parts, they took some much needed rest and family time. Mom, Dad, my uncle, aunt, and cousin(s), all went out to eat at a great kid-friendly restaurant. My cousin had a ball-with his crayons and car that they gave him. He is crazy about cars and mostly trucks. After thanking the family for the tip on the spot for the materials, Mom and Dad were again on their way.

Sunday morning bright and early, (yes, Mom got up early), Mom and Dad got started on my closet. Living in an older home, the closets are not as large as needed so Mom and Dad have put closet organizers in the house closets to maximize space. Today, it was my closet. The first task was to clean out the closet. Wow, that was a chore. Dad has closet space everywhere. You read correctly, not Mom, Dad! After that feat was accomplished, Dad began measuring for the parts. Mom and Dad both worked on the project since there was no lifting involved. The final product turned out pretty nice. Mom was excited to put some things in there to see how it looks. She still has to wash everything before I get here but Dad won't let her do that, he said it is too early and she is being a bit overzealous. Our next project is to move everything out of the room so that painting can start taking place. We will see when we can get Dad motivated to do that!
