This week was so crazy around our house! We ended up having more projecys thatn expected going at once! We had to (not by coice) have Dan and a friend install two retaining walls in the backyards because over the years the water has rushed at the back of our house and caused leaking in the atrium. It was 12 hour day for the first wall. Teh second day they worked, they removed the siding where it had been leaking to discover all of the wood and drywall and insulation had molded and rotted out! Which left a childsized hole in the playroom downstairs! SO the third 12 hour work day began and they added the second wall and a new rock bed. IT will be great come spring when we can plant in it! (after mindy tells me what to do)
Also, after much bugging and beggin dan, construction began on EMmys room. That room was our office/firefighter stuff room. So then we had to disassemble the computer desk, throw it out, move an armoir into the atrium and put the computer down there.
In the meantime, Dan decided Emmys room would look great with picture moulding under the chairrail. So he began cutting and nailing and it now has picture moulding, and Dan was right, it will be super cute! So Thurs night we began priming the bottom half of her room. Cole was so excited to help! IT really helped him to understand that Emmy is coming and staying in this room we are making her. ALthough he has shown absolutely no signs of anxiety thus far.
The cutest thing he said while painting was, "mom, this is emmys room right?" I said, "yes it is." "mom, do some people name their kids emmy without captain in front?" Dan and I laughed and I said "yes." Then he says, "but not us mom. We named her captain princess emmy."
I will add updates of her room as it progresses!
