Well hello, you caught me, helping put up some wallpaper in the bathroom. I know the title says no reno, but that's not actually talking about our house, that's talking about the project I helped with this weekend. At home, Monica's been working on fancy-ing up our bathroom, and it's almost complete now that the wallpaper is up.
Winry was having a hard time one day this past week so I took her for a quick run to the store just to spend some time together one on one, and of course get a treat! We looked at a few options, but in the end settled on Hostess. I think this is Winry's first time having a Twinkie (my choice) and a Snowball (her choice). We enjoyed them both.
The Packers kids are staying with us this week while they take a trip, so Monica's been trying to find fun things for the kids to go do. They went to Pinballz one day while I was at work. The Packer kids wanted to ride the go-karts, and while they were racing down the track, Grayson was at the horse track!
Everybody enjoyed some mini-bowling. It's a lot of fun.
And of course they spent some time in the arcade playing games, such as carousel!
The kids had a water balloon fight, and when I got home from work I went out to help them clean up all the pieces and someone closed the garage door and shut me outside. However, I was able to see that a cicada had... "hatched" from on our garage door. Monica said it had been there for like a week, so it was old news to her.
I don't really have a spot for this, but Monica was putting Grayson to bed and he had some energy. I mean, Grayson always has high energy, so maybe that's not so crazy, but I wanted to include Monica's video in here.
On Saturday I went to help a family in the ward who's house flooded back in July. They are still working on finishing ripping out drywall, molding, etc. that was damaged so they can start to rebuild. I stopped at Lowes to grab some masks for everyone that was going, and this little buddy came rolling up while I was there. I'm curious how well it works and determines stock, but I thought it was pretty cool.
And finally, the no reno demo. I spent my time there removing the bottom of the closet so we could cut out the drywall, removing the siding from all the doors, and ripping out the master bath. I'm not exactly sure everything else that happened, but I know a bunch of stone got hauled out from the fireplace, and other drywall was ripped out. I had a good time, but I was REALLY tired by the end and could barely hold my hammer still. We were able to get everything done that was on the docket for the day, so hopefully they can start getting earnestly into rebuilding now.
