We got the attic all hauled out in the house this week. Scott demo-ed the shelves in there, and started working on the electrical. So far, (no 911 calls), so good!
I got in there with measuring tape yesterday. Had to dust off all of the interior design crap-er-knowledge still floating around in my brain somewhere circa 1990 college course. It is a small space, but fairly straight forward from a design standpoint. On paper it turned out kind of classy. I have a feeling that once it is done, there will be some serious coveting going on, and maybe not just from the kids!
The design includes a loft/built in bed with a large storage drawer underneath, a play nook, built in bookshelf and a closet/storage space that reaches under the eaves. Scott is warming up to all of my built-ins, but I think in the long run it will add to the long term usability of the space.
Food: Susie and I made pizza dough and fresh sauce all from scratch yesterday. The kids, of course, had plain cheese pizza, but Scott and I made a pizza with onions and hot pickled peppers from our garden. My mouth is still burning! Today I made the green syrup for the icicle pickles. The kids deemed it tasty, but creepy. Funny, that was the same reaction I always got from it when I was a kid.... We picked (I am guessing) about 30-40 pounds of tomatoes last night. We finally decided to make a giant pot of sauce for canning. They should be ripe and ready for that tomorrow. Scott's mom is due in Tuesday, so I also have to make a massive grocery run at some point as we have run out of everything (except vegetables). Tax free week starts tomorrow, so the kids are itching to get school shopping done. (Not that that has anything to do with food, but there is a Ben and Jerry's store at the shopping center.....)
Mundane things to do this weekend: A dump run is getting over due. Not my favorite thing, but rather necessary especially since we hauled out the attic this week. (What possesses us to keep some things? HONESTLY)
I realized this morning that Dan has been wearing the same pair of pajamas since...Wednesday night. Maybe it is time for him to take a bath and put some real clothes on? (Oh well! He seems happy!!!!)
