In the last post, you saw some of our weekend happenings over at the house, and here’s the rest!
We spent all weekend over there.
And I have to say…the boys did really good in the midst of our “construction zone”.
We found creative ways they could help, brought some stuff for them to do to
stay busy and when things started to go south, we let them lay
on a mattress downstairs and watch a show for quiet time each day.
I offered for them to possibly go elsewhere,
but they just wanted to be at the new house - with us!
They are excited!
Jaxen now knows how to pull up tack board, pull out staples and hammer nails.
Skills for life :)
I brought golf-tees with me Friday night and let them “hammer” them into a box.
And they played outside - sometimes, without a shirt on!
(Zane got his shirt really wet, and it was too cold for him to have a wet shirt on,
but he insisted on playing out there anyway - with no shirt).
Yes, that was probably bad parenting - and yes, he will probably get sick this week.
No judgement.
The kid has not had a back yard for over a year! Ha!
Our bedroom got a little love…
it got cleaned up, the place where the chair rail was got mudded, and the closet got painted!
It went from this…
to this!
The closet still needs to be put back together, the new wall needs to be sanded one more time,
the room needs paint, it needs floor laid and then it all needs to be cleaned!
Here is the “before pic”.
And some major work in our living room happened too…
New insulation is in, and sheet rock is almost all up, plus some tape and mud!
Oh, and I cleaned the main bathroom.
Our plan is to move on Saturday!!!
And no…we will not be done with all the work.
We hope to have our bedroom and the boys bedroom completely finished,
as well as all the sheet rock up in the living room.
We can store everything else in the basement while we finish up the living room.
We need to move Saturday though, so I can get our apartment completely cleaned
and officially moved out by the following Friday.
