School Starts and Painting

Boys started school last Monday. After dropping the boys off, Wendy returned home. Shortly thereafter, the Sheriff showed up. He was serving divorce court papers to the former owner of the house.

After school, Wendy took them for ice cream for their first day.

We have painted and continue to clean the house. On Wednesday, the Boy Scouts (Sweetheart is one of the leaders...) came an kilzed and washed blinds. Tuesday members of the Relief Society, the women's organization in our congregation, washed walls they were amazed by how many buckets of dirty water we went through. We have gone through 3 bottles of ammonia, 1 gallon bleach, and 2 gallons of vinegar so far.

The laundry room had a wallpaper banner of puppies in it. They were removed.

Underfoot is attending the local Elementary School; Hurricane is attending a charter school. The charter school is a little bit father away but has a better middle school than the public alternative. Because Hurricane is already in the charter school, Underfoot is on a sibling waiting list. He is second in line to get into the charter school. Hurricane is sad that Underfoot is not at his school. We hope that Underfoot will be able to switch to the charter school in the near future.

We got library cards this week. Wendy misses the Library Bus.

The Eckerts invited us to the CU/CSU game at Mile High Stadium (where the Broncos play.)

It was a lot of fun.

We took the train. CU killed CSU. The video is of Ralphy the Buffalo.

 

We have a lot more work to do before the tile goes in on Tuesday. We are looking forward to Wendy's mother coming to help us paint.

On Monday Sweetheart sliced his toe open before getting in the shower. He drove himself to the Insta-Care where he got three stitches. His toe is healing nicely. The pictures are below for those who are too queasy too look now.

Hurricane lost a tooth this morning during church. 

We are exhausted with more work tomorrow.

We are living in the master bedroom and kitchen. All four of us are in the master bedroom.

All of our clothes fit into the master bedroom closet, which is extremely large. The rest of the furniture and our belongings are in the garage, waiting for carpet and tile. 

You're welcome to come visit. Bring your paint brush. We have kilzed most of the house and painted the master bedroom and the formal living room. We still have some touch up painting and holes to patch in the formal living room.

After applying lots of kilz, we've pretty much knocked out the smells. Now we just need to finish painting and get everything ready for the flooring.

Hurricane says, "Nothing"

Underfoot says:
We started school last week. We got ice cream again after school. I went to cub scouts. I found a basketball at school. We played a card game called Dominion. I thought it was called Damnation. I mowed the lawn. It was hard. I listened to a book called "The best school year ever." It is by the same author who wrote "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever". We made cookies.


Be Well!
