Christina asked if we could entertain Aiden for the morning so she could run errands. I asked 'how handy is he ?'. We can't break our stride now, especially with a floor sander out for rent ($60/day).
And so dear Aiden spent the morning cleaning out the attic- which he has a personal interest in since this will be Lego land in the future.
He cleaned out old rolled up carpet , glass from old light fixtures, an old mini bottle of coppertone from a cruise to Nassau (we investigated the P&O Steamship label to see it was a cruise line that went between Miami and the Bahamas), and he found a cute straw bag which I promptly removed from the trash pile- I love it!
I brought burrito-night leftovers and whipped up some grub for us - it's all very campy preparing a meal there- no microwave or plates or utensils other than 3 plastic spoons left over from our 'before party'. I used one small pot and tin foil to deliciously fill 3 worker bellies. Move over Pioneer Woman, there's a new Sheriff in town!
Mike started the effort to remove the wood burning stove from one of the fireplaces- per State Farms insistence . I think we will use it in the A-frame if we can figure out how on earth to get it out of the house! It appears they built the house around it.
Today Mike has to work so I made a Home Depot and Sherwin Williams paint store run, now at the house to (hopefully) finish sanding. Mike is supposed to drop off the replacement sander since the one we had caught on fire yesterday. It obviously can't keep up with the Caponis, NEXT!
seriously this puts a whole new light on having kids. i previously just thought of them as an expensive accessory, but THIS reminds me of how productive you can be with *little helpers* running around! (i'm kidding about the expensive accessory thing. a little. i mean, they are expensive. and if they are so cute that they make you look good then...i digress). it kind of looks like aiden enjoyed it?
ReplyDeleteBhaaahaa! I 100% agree, thankfully we have 8 little slaves, I mean, helpful nieces and nephews. I think he enjoyed it, we'll see if he comes back.
ReplyDeleteYour floors are gorgeous! This house is going to be amazing. Go Team Caponi! Suzanne
