Weekend Update

Yes it is Monday again and the weekend was filled with lots of interesting things to do. Well, it was filled with SNOW anyway. We had a major storm that started Friday and ended early Sunday morning. It was that heavy wet March snow that is a pain to deal with. Fortunately the snow blower came in handy again. I remember when we bought it at the "end of year" price that I said, "and it probably won't snow again this year." Man was I wrong!

I also took the time this weekend to trim out the door between Justin and Alex's room. I got a coat of paint on everything and hung the door. I also put the first coat of sheetrock mud on the wall. Now I just need to sand things and do a second coat before painting the wall. I am really happy with the progress so far even though I have been complaining about the project all along the way. I don't quite know why I think I need a project when all I do is complain throughout the project. I guess I feel like I need something creative to do, but I don't really like the different phases. For example I hate hanging, taping and mudding sheetrock. I don't do it very well, but in the end it comes out looking pretty good. Maybe the complaining is just part of the process, who knows.

On another note, Justin is making real progress on doing his business in the right place. Twice this weekend he used the toilet to pee-pee. Now I am sure only other parents know how huge this is, but it was a major thing in our house. I can only hope that the interest continues and it just becomes common place, time will tell. Alex is getting her 5th tooth and everyone is still battling the cold. Someone needs to walk through our house with a huge can of Lisol or something to kill whatever bugs are living there. It seems we have all been sick for the past couple months.

That was the weekend!
