Running Stitch

How was your labor day weekend? We labored here. Pushing ever forward on the plans to move from the Burrow, we spent the weekend improving her.

And going to the store. Alot.

Me and My shadow-Frank

Summer vacation is here and I’m am probably more excited than the boys are, mostly because they currently adore school. Can’t possibly understand why they don’t go on Sunday and Saturday and my youngest is convinced his preschool teacher is taking him on her vacation.

She is not.

Earlier in the year we decided this summer would be the summer of hiking and camping. And then…

Well plans changed and it became the summer of The Adventure. Or the summer of fixing up The Burrow and putting it on the market. We realized we have talked and talked and talked for years about what we want differently in a house and that we don’t see ourselves growing old here. And suddenly, one day in April we decided it was time to stop talking.

And start doing.

relegated to the chair while he cheered the neighbor on. Every time he drilled in a screw, my guy yelled “great job!!”

And boy, has it been hard. The Adventure entails several steps. Including The Purge, and The Moving of Stuff to Storage. The Purge is going well. The thought of storing some things has helped me to part with them. Analyzing what is replaceable and what is not has been almost freeing in a somewhat panicky way. Ahem.

The boys room was the easiest room to handle and the first to be purged and readied. The rest of the house including the guest bathroom are in various stages of getting ready (the guest bathroom lacks a toilet at this point..crucial some say).

The tiling though? Awesome.
