Hooray for family!
This week has been crazy busy to say the least.
On Sunday, Brian, Easton and I headed up to the house to do some work while Hadley attended a birthday party for her best friend Mahima. She was so excited to go. It was a Barbie theme and she had a great time!
Sunday night both Hadley and Easton were up through the night. Easton for a stuffy nose, and Hadley... well, I am not really sure. In any case I kept her home from school on Monday because she was up ALL night.
Tuesday it was back to crazy. I mean school. Hadley had a field trip to see a musical, then the kids started swimming lessons, and that night Brian's mom came to babysit so Brian and I could have a date night at the Leafs game. Which they won 3-2. :)
Wednesday Brian's uncle Jeff, aunt Teresa and cousin Josh came to help with the electrical at the house. Brian's mom watched Easton during the day while Hadley was at school and I ran around to 4 different Home Depot's to get a lot of the light fixtures we needed for the house. Each home depot only had a few, none of them could order from one store to have it shipped to a local store, nor could they confirm they would re-order if the shelves were emptied, and the fixtures we picked were in store lights only... you couldn't buy online. So... I did the run around. Special shout out to my mother in law here for allowing me to do this without kids. Thursday was more electrical work, staining and more trips to Home Depot. Friday I had a counter top measuring for the kitchen in the morning, groceries in the afternoon (much needed), and then in the evening we took the kids to the Blue Jays home opener. (Which they loved)! The both looked awesome in their new Jays baseball hats. Hadley got a pink one and Easton a blue one. They needed summer sun hats so this was a great opportunity to get them. There was popcorn, peanuts, and the like. It was quite special for them. Brian's aunt Cecilia and sister Julie also joined in the fun... as well as Julie's friend Catherine. We also briefly bumped into Brian's aunt Nora and uncle Ed!
Saturday Brian's dad stayed over after being at the Jays game to help with house stuff. He did some work on paint repairs and then he and I went to Lowes (mostly because I was tired of going to Home Depot) to get supplies to start work on the rock wall in the great room.
We tried to rent a van to transport these things back however that didn't work out so we loaded it all into the van and made due.
By end of day, the boards were up and ready for drywall.
I also got one more closet door frame stained.
Two more frames to go and the upstairs will have all the door frames stained. Hoping that is tomorrows success story. :)
It is 12:37am, and I just did the banking. Thank goodness for online banking.
Time for bed. Tomorrow is another busy day.
