After Julian and I went to the farmer's market this morning we came home to Bobby making breakfast. We went to Grandpa Jim's and checked on the birds, purchased a water hose, and came straight home for some yard work. Julian played in the sprinkler while I tackled a daunting task.
Weeks ago my dad delivered five breeder units from their house for me to renovate into bookshelves. I've since decided that while three would be for basement storage the two that are in the best shape are to be painted and will be used to store the boy's clothing in their bedroom. The dresser drawers never get closed when they're opened, often the clean clothes stay piled on top, and well soon--with a baby--we'll need easier access to maintaining our laundry. The problem was, aside from the bird wire fronts that would need to be removed, there was twenty years of bird damage and dust, old bird-seed and dirt gathered on the shelves. Before we can paint them we have to clean the snot out of all of them. I tackled the two head-on and am quite impressed with my progress (so was Bobby). And a rarity in our home--there are actually pictures of me from today (I'm usually the one behind the lense). I look like a boat, but am thankful for some capturing of the day from my hubby.
