Week 3

Not much happened this week. Sickness struck us down!

But I was able to get several loads of laundry and dishes done (always an accomplishment right?). I had several small things laying around that needed to be moved (like my shoes all up to the bedroom, a basket of knitting projects up to the craft room, etc.) that I moved to their new homes.

The big accomplishment of the weekend was getting the new mattress for Ethan and finishing up the bunk bed. When we bought it several months ago, one of the boards cracked. It was sound enough to keep using but we replaced the board from Ikea but never actually swapped them out. We also didn't finish putting the slats for the bottom bunk in because we didn't want the kids to jump on them and break them before we got the new mattress. A friend and coworker decided to get rid of a twin bed recently and was kind enough to let us have just the mattress. It's a newer, thicker one that Ethan currently had so we put that up on top for him and traded his down to the bottom for Rachel. Now, their bunk bed is finally complete and Rachel is spending her first night in her big girl bed!

This week I'm going to get caught up on laundry, keep my sink empty, even if that means dirty dishes are piled on the counter (Flylady "Sink Reflections" logic there!), and get a load dropped off at the thrift store.
