Barrett loves himself a door these days. Opening and closing, pounding on the glass, sliding them or even feeling the screens will keep him entertained for a very long time. Unfortunately, he wants someone sitting next to him when he does this so it's a good thing I can sit and watch him do nothing all day (as long as he's not whining!).
One week until the Carls/Brazel wedding in Chi-town! I'm very excited because it will be our first overnight sans baby. We have left him at night many times but he's never woken up and not had us there (well me there. Joe has done it a bunch of times.) He usually lets us get full nights of sleep but we always have to be "on" as soon as Barrett decides he's up for the day so it will be nice to do our own thing. He'll be spending the whole day with Grandma and Grandpa E on Saturday and most of the morning on Sunday. I'm definitely going to miss him but I'm not nervous or anything about leaving him. And I know the time will fly by.
This weekend has been kick butt in terms of getting our To-Do list done. I slept in a bit yesterday(7:30), but I pretty much was moving non-stop until 9pm. Joe and I tagged teamed the whole day to keep Bubs entertained so we were able to get some things done. We got all our normal cleaning done (bathrooms, laundry, dusting, vaccuuming) as well as a ton of other house projects. Joe was able to install the casing and trim around the sliding door in our kitchen (yes, that same door we installed in March). I swept the deck, hosed down the front porch, touched up paint, washed windows and glass doors. All that fun stuff you don't have much time for. I ended the night completely overhauling our garage. It was disgusting. We never got it done when we first moved in, and then B came and we had many other important things to accomplish. So yes, a year later, it's finally clean. Exhibit A:
Joe still needs to straighten is tool bench and we have to get rid of the leftover ugly tile the previous owners left us, but it's 100% better. A shower never felt so good after that was done.
I love having a clean, organized house! It just makes everything feel so much better!! I vacuum a few days a week and sweep and mop even more. We currently rent right now and our family room/entry hall is long overdue for new carpet. Loooking at it makes me cringe every.single.day. We mentioned it to the owner and he seemed to agree, so I am hoping it gets done soon before my OCD kicks in and I rip it out myself!
