This post was intended to be submitted on the 17th, but I was whisked away with family for a much cherished family getaway. We spend a few days in Pinawa, enjoying nature, games, and good food. This was a multi-celebration: our 8th anniversary, the new transition of jobs, Halmoni (Grandma) visiting from Vancouver, and of course celebrating the best Daddy in 'da house!
But Wednesday morning is different... Ahhh, smell the scents of drywall, lumber, and good ol' human sweat. Ok, maybe don't smell, but you get the point. We are in a crunch to complete the remainder of our basement project because word is out that we are anticipating the arrival of a new family member into our home by the end of this week! Talk about friendly chaos, playing fruit basket upset with our bedrooms, family members, and visiting Omoni (Mom Park). It's a team effort and unique memories are being created as drywall competes for space with Lego and diapers.
Today is laundry day, as in working on our laundry room, and as in making our clothes dirty so we have something to launder when I hook up our machines next week. Yay! We've had a wonderful relationship with our next door laundromat (and owner) for the past 2+ years, but it's time this mama gets set up proper for some serious laundry business as our family increases over the next years. We are also working on creating another bathroom downstairs, yay, no more 'gotta go' dances for the kids.
I'm no Micah Holmes and Harold is no Arthur Stewart, but doing renos become so much more doable when you crunch the numbers. It's slow going, but so worth it, and actually looking pretty awesome for rookies.
And it will be worth it!
Ok, now back to work :)
