The Week Off, or Is It?

With the unbelievably warm weather, and unpredictable as well, Dad took advantage and began putting my bedroom furniture together. For those of you who think we are just so ahead of the game, this was a gift from Grandma so it has just been waiting to be put together. It is all a big process but an exciting one at that. Dad completed the crib on Sunday and then we enjoyed a nice BBQ outside with a couple of friends.


Monday morning after breakfast, Mom and Dad got back to work. They made a stop at Home Depot for Dad to get a tool he needed to cut stuff down for the "theater room". After that, Dad got pulled away for an emergency meeting at the school. Mom decided that she would try to pick up where he had left off. She was pretty successful too, she finished my dresser and changing table. You know Mom, she has to keep busy. The dogs watched on and enjoyed the weather as well.


Mom and Dad have a much deserved week off this week, for Spring Break, so their hopes are to begin putting the house back together. With the basement project coming to an end and my room beginning, things are a mess around the house. It is driving Mom crazy because things are just cluttered, but as they say, "it is going to look worse, before it looks better". Well Mom understands the comment, but sure does not like the process. She completed the laundry room organization since it is complete and Dad is working to cut some things down to begin putting the "theater room" in the new room in the basement. This will allow us to yet again start another project; the family room downstairs. We had one when we first moved in but Dad had his heart set on a "theater room" so Mom compromised. Now, it has to be transformed again back to a family/play room. Small steps, I guess.

Everything looks so good. It's crazy how you can always find another "new" project around the house, isn't it? Especially with a baby on the way! I love Mom with her rings and earrings on while she's using the power tools! I know she always needs to be accessorized!

The furniture looks great. And look at you using that drill, I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Get as much done as you can now because kids have a funny way of sucking all your free time. Don't forget to do all the fun things you want to do as couple too!
