Our next-door neighbors are a family of four, two working parents and two boys, one older than Jack and one younger. They seem like really nice folks, but with the mom working, they're really busy, and she's at work during the time I'm free. But she told me we're welcome to use their trampoline any time we want whether they're home or not, so we went over today and did, and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! But Lily was cranky and got tired of it, so we had to come home.
I didn't forget to feed her today, and I was astounded at the amount she ate! She ate cereal for breakfast, once with me and once with Tim. She ate beans for lunch, gnawed on carrots all afternoon, ate some of my tuna sandwich a few hours later, and ate pancakes I made for our "supper". (Intense sugar craving combined with my intense desire to lose weight, so I made our supper something that would satisfy my sugar craving. We'll see tomorrow morning if it worked to keep the pounds off...)
Sweet sick Lily. We've got the summer flu or something; fever, chills, body aches, stuffy head (runny nose, clogged nose, clogged ears, swollen and sore throat). It comes and goes, and for the most part we're never really all that sick, but Tim feels pretty crummy tonight, poor guy. I hope I don't feel that bad soon...
Just a wee bit later, in the bed :)
Speaking of the bed!
Queen bottom, twin top, storage under the stairs. I saw one online that was a lot like this and just loved it, but it was $3000! So Tim built one even better :D We still need to paint it, and finish sanding it. Sanding so much wood is a pain!
Goodnight! Jack is asking for his bedtime story (the story of how he's had fun and been good today) so he can go to sleep :)
Wow! Love the bed. Orlando saw that one in a store here and wanted it, too. I Think it's the stairs that people love. And it's multi-directional functionality. It's such a good use of space. Will you leave the bed frame natural, or paint that too, later?
ReplyDeleteAnd, sorry you miss TX... I know how you feel. College was like that for us. Presently, the Rio Grande flood waters are close enough to our home that the mosquitoes are swamp-size and number, so I'm even afraid to take my kids outside. Sad. There will be things you love about Cali, and things you don't. You made a good choice by keeping your family together.
We all have sulky days but it sounds like you were pretty productive. Cute bed. :)
ReplyDeleteVeda, we're going to paint it the same way we painted the shelves we did :D I think there's a pic of one of the shelves a couple of posts back. I'm glad yall are OK in the flood! Yay for living on high ground!
