I’m slowing digging out from under the post-sale mess
Friday night our parents of multiples club took over the local Bounce U. We’ve been twice before for birthday parties, so Thing One and Thing Two were very excited to go. It was 9 PM before we got home, showered two sweaty boys, and tossed them in bed.
Saturday we took my car in so the dealer could investigate the check engine light. $700 later, I have a new sensor and new brakes. I cleaned up my office, filed lots of papers, and started packing up sale supplies that don’t need to go to our multiples club sale.
DH took the boys out to build the kid’s project at Lowe’s and buy shinguards for soccer since practice starts Tuesday. They both wore the shinguards and socks for the rest of the day. Thing One wondered if the Easter Bunny would think his shinguards looked cool, so our Easter Bunny note included the fact that the EB had actually tried on the shinguards and hopped around in them.
Suprisingly, Thing One and Thing Two didn’t beg for or eat much of the candy that the EB left. I guess they were overloaded from two school parties and the huge gift bags that MIL sent. Our EB also left a Disney DVD each (Aristocats & 101 Dalmations) and some sidewalk chalk + accessories.
DH was upset that we didn’t go to church. We never go to church, but he’s upset we didn’t even manage to be Chriseasters this year. I find it odd that I’m the one who was at church every Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night + bible school and camp growing up and now have no interest in going. He did not attend regularly until high school and even then just went to church services and now he wants to go.
Instead, we spent yesterday cleaning and I started working on taxes. I’d like to file in the next week or so and then move on down my to-do list.
FIL reports all but two of our cabinets are built. He still has to build drawers and has not yet ordered hardware. We need to get cracking on our end of things – chosing tile, countertops, lighting and ordering the appliances we’ve already chosen. Our built-in microwave died about 5 minutes after DH changed the time to “spring forward” and now we have a teeny little one on loan from my parents sitting on 2×4′s in the space where the built-in one went. We’re talking very, very nicely to our dishwasher which has been recalled despite its advanced age. I really need it to hold out for another 8-12 weeks until the new one is installed.
