Today was a day off of school, and to make it even a bit more out of the ordinary, at home was just me and the boys!
It was oddly peaceful for being boy heavy. However, after a quick jaunt to the city, we invited grandma over to play/work/eat with us. She lovingly loaded ALL of our linens into our linen closets, which is a job I’ve had a hard time getting into since we got here. And yes, I did say closetsssss. We have two, which is kind of amazing. I use one for towels and one for sheets. And now they even have those things inside of them! Heyooo!
Meanwhile, I was pretty motivated after a friend came over yesterday evening and helped get some heavy things moved around and slung some boxes. So I got back into that today and got some of the main area looking better. Now that our storage room is a bit more organized, I feel better about putting some things in there, even if its just temporary, so I can make sense of what we all have and what we need to put in what room. Even just that is helpful! So the stack of boxes that has been living just off our dining room now is dispersed into places that make more sense. There is still a table that is holding jobs that still need doing. New light fixtures. Some kitchen pullouts. Some keypads. Some cameras. You get it. Otherwise, the upstairs makes more sense now, for sure.
After a day of working, two trips to the city, and times where I was down to only one kid, its felt like theres been enough variety that it hasn’t really felt too worky at all. Its been a pretty nice day! And while I feel restful, I also feel accomplished. And SO tired. Whew!
I bathed a baby after the younger kids went to bed and that may have officially done me in. I’m good for bed now!
Juuuust have to wait for Dekker to get home 😅
