We tried to do all tasks today that we could.
The day started with breakfast waffles of course. And then the kids really wanted to get rid of the 3 boxes in the toy room that were left. One of them was labeled was very deceiving and didn't know that they were toys that MBMell was hiding from them (bring them out when they need new things). These penguins, that T had never seen before became a big deal all day. He was mad that they were set for the sensory bin...and we heard about it all day.
So we sorted books, so that we could put some in the reading nook in the den and then the others stay in the play room. B was a great help knowing what shelf they were on before the move, and placing them back where they belonged. DD hung up the tv in the den.
For lunch today we had egg salad sandwiches. The kids helped "boil" the eggs in the instapot. T cracked one egg by accident, Lola was pretty sure that the egg would survive and we only had 8 eggs for the 5 of us, so we had a little experiment. And Lola was right, it boiled and didn't explode during the process!
While the eggs cooked and cooled, Lola and MBMell built B's bed, and hung up the growth charts (as the kids are turning 4 in less than 20 days). I wanted MBMell to be able to measure the kids close to their birthday.
After that we made lunch as a team effort, the kids enjoyed peeling and smashing the eggs. They also added the green onion and mixed in the mayo. They spread it on their croissant, and were so excited to help out! It was really good.
This was our first meal at the table with Daddy!
Then it was nap time and Lola was back on the mop! Wanted to clean the workout room so that we could try and move the treadmill into that room before there were 2 less arms and 2 less muscles.
It was hanging day too. We hung 3 book shelves in the play room and starting planing where to put all the other hanging things.
Ice Cream break.
Once the kids woke up from nap, they played very well for 20 minutes until it was time to wake up daddy from their nap to get new shoes. Lola also did some mnding. DD was in a lot of pain starting at his feet, so we sent him to buy 2 new pairs of shoes. And please take the kids, so that we can get more things hung.
And away we went... oh we also made supper!
After supper the kids watched a cool sloth video that we watched the day before (to test out the tv). Some iPad so we could continue to work.
Kids used their new bathroom to brush teeth, hair and potty this evening. Once in bed we successfully moved the treadmill into the work out room. It was very heavy, and the kids woke up when we tried to move it... DD was not the quietest...plus it was very heavy and awkward, but MBMell was very happy to have it in her space!
MBMell and DD have a coworkers wedding tomorrow, so we had one last necessary task, find some dress clothes. And while you are looking mine as well hang them in the master closet. So away we went. In the process we found a box that was labeled Master, but it was really the spare closet. Very disappointed to find that box in the 11th hour. The contractors aren't quite done the master bath yet, but i got a few shots to show!
So at the end of day 9 we had ice cream.... we did very well, with approximately 25 boxes left with about 17 of those being craft room boxes, we MBMell knew she could tackle on School days on her own (doesn't need to function). Tasks We didn't get to complete, the gallery wall in the dining room and one other but I can't think of it right now.
There are 2 rooms that still need furniture, living room and master bedroom.
All in all I think we did an awesome job. We didn't sleep as much as we likely should have, and i have a lot of bruises to show how hard we worked. My desk hands are sure feeling all this physical work i did.
Time to get home to see AA.
Airport was early this morning (leaving at 4am), DD was nice to drive me to the airport. A juiceland drink to hopefully me fill my tummy for the ride and time to blog.
Till next time!
Lola.
