On any normal Sunday we have boring days. Appreciating all that we have been given and enjoying the family. Last Sunday, we tried something new and adventurous! Well, we didn’t really have a huge choice here, the floors had to be polyurethaned, and the basement was the only place we could hang out. So we made and adventure of it.
But the adventure took a turn no one could have expected when Best Buy put the dream camera on sale! WOOHOO! Well only woohoo when Mark said we could go and get one!
Me and my new toy! He, he, he!
Random pictures of P!
But the challenge of how to get out of the house was an interesting one. Can’t go up the stairs, have to go….out the window!!
There they go!
And up the ladder! See adventure!
And into the back yard!
They don’t seem to mind so much!
You are missing Mark climbing out our bedroom window and down into the basement! See adventure all around. I’m actually glad this adventure came to an end. It wasn’t as much fun as you might think! But I was willing to do it for the sake of the hardwood floors!
The littles (N & E) and I ran errands this morning because I didn’t want to have to do it tomorrow when all three kiddos are home! So we visited Home Depot (who didn’t have everything I needed, darn them), SuperTarget (who did have the things I needed), and Kohl’s (must get E’s birthday/Easter dress).
At Kohl’s they have Dr. Seuss plush toys. They are only $5 and the proceeds go to charity, so it is a win-win situation all around. N & E both get their cute little blue whales from “If I ran the Circus” and we pay and walk out to the car.
N & E discuss what to name their whales. E decides on Hortoney the Whale. Very nice Dr. Seuss name. N debates (completely normal for N). Then he says as we are pulling out of the parking lot, “I know what I’ll name him. I’ll name him George Washington!” Who knew the first President of the United States made such a big impression on N.
Later P comes home from school (early release day due to parent-teacher conferences). N says that he looked for P’s orca and couldn’t find him. I said that he is probably in P’s bed. P replies, “Yeah he is in my bed. He is probably under the blanket. He likes his…(whispers) privacy!”
It has been a whale of a day around here! Hope your day is whale-derfu!
N and E didn’t have school today. Parent-Teacher conferences. Alas they are all (P’s conference was Tuesday) doing excellent and excelling at everything they do! We are proud.
This is how we are forced to live since our house is still not completely put back together. Someday soon. I hope!
And since my new camera (I’ll get to posting about it soon, I promise) also does video, I have a little fashion show clip from this afternoon!
The plastic to try to avoid the dust going into the cabinets. Seems to have worked!
Floor after 2 coats of polyurethane.
Still the hallway.
Living room, 2 coats of polyurethane.
The part of the kitchen I could see with 2 coats of polyurethane!
Me after sanding! I was COVERED in dust. I then took the kids to Burger King, still covered in dust!
I’ll get the finished shots once we are really finished! We still have a few spots that need just a little more polyurethane. Hopefully we will be able to move the kitchen table back into the house on Friday evening! Crossing my fingers on that one. It is hard to have meals without a table!
