Busy Weekend without Kids


Friday brought us another HOT day--Thursday was 98, Friday was 100 and we still managed to get some things done around the house. Bill brought home Taco Bell for supper since it was too hot to cook. We watched some TV until it cooled down a bit, and then we it Kristin's room. We cleaned out her closet, and pulled everything from her room (what a job that was) and put it in Ryan's room, all the while sorting out the "junk" that was in there. She is certainly a pack rat! We managed to get everything moved except her bed & vanity before we went to bed. We took some short breaks on the porch where it was cool, and caught the moon rising. Very Cool.
The mess in Ryan's room....

Saturday we woke at 7, and it was nice & cool in the house (OK...70)--but we knew by 11 it would be hot again, so we got started and moved the bed, vanity and dresser into Ryan's room. Needless to say, there is no where to walk in Ryan's room. Boy does he have a mess to clean out when he gets home!! Haha...just kidding Ryan. Your room is next!! Kids not being home to say "I want to keep that" is great! Don't fret kids...nothing important left!


Ryan's bed is under there somewhere

After a shower (it was 85 in the house, and almost 100 outside), we took a nice long nap after a hard morning of work. We woke around 4, and headed out to purchase the closet organizer parts. Instead of a kit, we "designed" one, and we'll see how it goes. We never knew the "stuff" you could put in a 5' x 2' closet!!! (Or behind your captains bed for that matter!)
The temp today topped out at 104 in Albany--102 in Sweet Home--good thing there was no humidity with that...phew!! You know we went somewhere air conditioned for supper!!!

We are hoping tomorrow to get her closet patched & painted and possibly put the organizer in. We'll see how the heat is, and how long our after church nap is!!

The kids are having a great time in Michigan--they have been to the Detroit Zoo, been to an arts & craft show/indian re-enactment, and tomorrow they are heading to the water park. They are having tons of fun.

Being at home has been better this weekend with Bill home. I can say that Friday I missed
my morning chats with Ryan and Kristin's snuggling when she wakes up. All those things I take for granted. I miss you guys!! Have fun, be safe, and know that we love you!!
