As far as our house goes, we were in a lot of chaos in the last couple of days as we tried to get as much furniture out of the livingroom as possible. Our love seat ended up in the kitchen so that I couldn't get at my pots and pans or cutlery drawer. This was actually fine with me as I had a great excuse not to cook:) Andrew has finished two coats of mud but is now on a bit of a holiday so Reuben has arranged with him that he will come after school on Tuesday to finish the third coat. After that, we will be doing a lot of sanding and then priming!!! And then painting. So, for now, we've cleaned up a bit so that we can get upstairs more easily and my kitchen is more usable but by Tuesday it will all be chaotic again.
I'm also working on a pair of mittens for my niece, Hadassah...I finished one last night and should be able to do the other one tonight. After that, I plan to make a pair of fingerless mittens for myself...I just have to get to the yarn store.
And last but not least, the Broersma's are rolling into town tomorrow. Here's a picture preview from the last time we saw them.

That's what I need to do..."hire" some people to help with the work! We started painting our whole upstairs floor in July and are still not done! Yes, the one wall half done and the rest only one coat done. If we didn't have a wedding to attend or one of us or the children sick, we were too tired to start painting at 8pm and then have to put everything away and start up again the following evening! We're getting there! We'd like to be done before the end of February! 2 people doing the work is pretty tricky and the work can only be done after 8pm... I don't think I could handle major renovations!☺
Congratulations with the new job! Sounds exciting!
Can't you post some pictures of your chaos? I'd love to see the reason you can't cook!! :)
Lots of Love,
Jody
Hey does that mean you'll have to return the going away gift they gave you before you left for Spain...if you're kind of "coming back"?
it wasn't a going away gift, it was a "have a nice trip" gift.
