Wine + Accomplishing the List = Relaxation Tomorrow (after the CycleX Women’s Ride Wednesday, of course)
Projects
While Andy and the kids are away, I do projects! First, I replaced the shelf in our combination Mud Room/Laundry Room with three, stackable shoe shelves. Overall, it was a $40 investment at Lowe’s that will work much better for us. No more shoes all over the floor!
Then, I painted chalkboards on the kids’ bedroom walls. This is John’s room. I think the kids are going to be so excited! I have to go out tomorrow and buy chalk and erasers. Andy will eventually add trim around the boards for a more “finished” look.
Finally, I took the shelf that was in our laundry room and put it in Laura’s room for more storage. She needed more shelf space for books and various American Girl accessories. I had to move some pictures around on the walls, but the overall addition of the shelf will really help!
On top of all that, I also cleaned the entire upstairs, including all three bathrooms. It was a busy night, but completely worth it. Now, it is time for some television and a glass of wine!
Camps!
While I dropped off these two at Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation for Cub Scout Camp, …
…Brandi dropped off Laura and her best friend, Annabelle, at Finbrooke Girl Scout Camp.
I hope they all have a great time at camp! As a side note, Happy Birthday Andy!
Packing
Laura is packed and ready for her first Girl Scout sleep away camp. I hope you have a great trip, Red!!!
Friends!
John’s friend, Brady, came to join us for Friday night at the pool. Fun times!
Guest Bedroom
One of Andy’s teammates from Big Tree Cycling recently moved and gave us her queen-size bed. This made it possible for us to put an actual bed in our guest bedroom. After some furniture shuffling, our Monopoly-themed guest bedroom is coming together!
Flat Repair Clinic
We did a flat repair clinic on our CycleX Women’s Ride tonight. Andy has shown me how to fix a flat, but I haven’t actually done it myself. I will be slow at the process, but I think I could actually do it by myself now. Yay for no more “flat fear!” (And, no, my tire wasn’t actually flat… We just used one of my bike tires.)
