Our plans changed last night in regards to today, so instead of framing the end of the basement, Brady was itching for a way to be productive around here. Thanks to all of his efforts with Reid yesterday morning, there were things that he could do today that wouldn’t be loud while the kids napped! Nap time makes construction in the basement so tricky to get to, but we were so thankful when we put the days plans together and found some helpful jobs we could do during the afternoon.
With the tub downstairs, there is more room in the garage, making us closer and closer to getting the van parked inside! This is one of the bigger goals we have. We did add the big freezer to the freezer, but while that does take up a bit of space in there, it is now out of the furnace room!! That means we can finally fit some of our storage from the garage into the furnace room where it belongs!! As I write this, Brady is hauling all of the tubs of kids clothing into the basement to store them under the stairs. The reality is, they probably won’t live under the stairs for long. I’d like them on shelves, and they aren’t built yet. But I know they will live in the furnace room, so I don’t really care about having them in their exact location right this moment. And with the clothing tubs out of the garage, Brady should be able to reorganize our garage well enough that the bus will fit inside comfortably! I’m so happy thats coming 🙂
We spent a chunk of time this morning learning a new song for Sunday morning offertory. The reorganize will probably take a while this afternoon, and from there, we’ll pick up Dekker after school and run to the city for a quick grocery shop! I don’t know about you guys, but we ran out of milk and bananas in the same day, and that is pretty serious business around here. Hopefully we’ll take care of everything we need in just a short trip, and then I’m heading out for the evening to a meeting with a bunch of girls from town.
So its turned into a pretty busy day, but it feels good to know we’re getting a bunch of jobs done in place of the one big job we were expecting to do.
However, before anything else, lunch is next on the list! Work will commence once again once boys are in bed for naps 😴😴
