AE day 3

WHOHOOOOOOO!!! MORE PHOTOS BUT IT WAS A MUCH MORE EXCITING DAY ;)
Posted by Picasa
Sunday=day 3= fire day. 10-2 we spent @ the old property watching our volunteer fire dept burn our house, garage & shed down to nothing. they were so good to us, helped Tim light it, ushered me around showing me good angles for photo ops, even reopened the front door so I could get a good shot of the inside fire, the neices (Lyla playing in the water running down the road & Katelyn just soaking it all in-so serious), & then some after dark shots.
I can't wait to do today's tomorrow!!!

WHEWWWWW

WHAT A WHIRLWIND WEEKEND!!!

moving-cleaning-shopping-drinking-recovering-photoging the house burn-recovering ;)-visiting MIL-uploading photos.

I will share some photos of the burn (probably all of them on a slideshow) when Kodak is done getting them all.

NO SCHOOL today & the kids are dropping like flies ;) Nat is spending the day w/her aunt, Andie & Blake are home w/Andie fighting the flue :( & Brock is hanging out w/a Gma. we will definately be walking by the old house/burn site for the kids to see it IRL instead of just photos I printed for them. hoping to do some halloween/fall decorating & some laundry today too.

HUMP DAY=YOGA!!

for teh next 10 weeks anyway ROCK ON!!!!!!! WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!

so last night was a bust as far as plans but ROCKED as far as productivity goes!!
we tore apart & drug out the furnace, ductwork & water heater (still 1/2 full of water!) from the old house basement, I moved the gutter pile to the ductwork pile for the scrap yard to pick up (Corey) & started moving a pile of firewood away from the house to save for next summer, on the way home confirmed the CM rep for the SP, came home, showered & read myself to sleep. (almost done) oh yeah & I did wash some dishes.

MIL's dr appt was late so visiting tonight instead. (b4 yoga)

cabinet is sufficiently pink :) now to get it inside.

today I have the same phonecalls to make that I procrastinated yesterday.

tomorrow night will be more scavenging @ the old house I think-2 ceiling fans, plant hook outside, park bench, wishing well, plant cabinet, movie cabinet....ugh...

HAPPY MONDAY...

WELL... ITS A GOOD START TO A GREAT WEEK!! I am an infant short this morning w/the other coming after lunch, & 2 kids short all day while a toddler is coming later this morning also. WHOHOOOOO hoping for some spray paint time in the back yard so I can get my metal cabinet in my scrap room & finish the move!!

weekend in whole:
pretty balanced... Friday night ended up GREAT!! Tim brought home LJS for supper (that we ate all weekend!) & I took a bath for 3.5 hours & read my book!

Saturday we were up earlier than I wanted but I had to get my stuff done so got my eyebrows waxed, then walked around collecting- only got one donation ( a $30 jar of one minute manicure) & hung 3 more fliers & have a list of places to call today. then home to change & hit the old house, helped Tim finish popping the tiles off the kitchen +back porch floors, found the shelf I wanted WASN'T attached so vowed to get it, & called it quits for the day. Grocery shopped, did ods & ends @walmart & home to chill, he watched some TV & I read. then we did 5 geo-caches & came home for leftovers for supper. later Katie, TOmmy & Nat showed up for a while to hang out.

Sunday again up earlier than I had wanted but woke to pancakes+bacon+ clean dishes in teh drainrack! whohooooo GO TIm! so we ate, then emptied the truck bed (fence to the scrap yard, wood @ old house) then backed it up the old front door & FILLED IT again.. linoleum, tile, boxes, then moved into the garage & started flinging from there. SO its loaded & Tarped for next weekend's landfil run. walked home for some scrap moving time :D he built up the scavenged shelf to match the height of the crate I had & we built my desk-its a bit higher than I had planned but NOT arguing LOL its DONE! THEN he fixed the existing shelves on teh wall to quit falling, hung a new one & helped move my roll top into there. lots of swapping around of stuffs, took back the 13" tv & gave him the 19 for the garage b/c I didn't have room for it, moved the weight stuff into the old scrap room, etc. I finally quit working on it last night @bedtime. still more to do of course.

pics later when the sun comes up.
