Under the house, playing grocery store + getting logistical things taken care of
- So the thing that I've been dreading--our house is on stilts and we needed to go under the house and cut out plants and put down shade cloth so plants don't grow under there--is done. Had to lay on your belly to get in but could sit up once under the house. My husband did the hardest parts and the kids helped lots, mostly by bringing us dozens of rocks. No scorpions or venomous centipedes like I had been afraid of...but lizards and roaches and a probably 80% decomposed dead cat. The cat skull was pretty cool to show to the kids but otherwise...ugh. This house has been empty for 2 years. For sure in need of some love. But I'm proud of us all that we worked together and got the worst task taken care of...
- Zo playing grocery store with me with her play food and cash register in "The Base," which is what the kids call the mostly empty raised storage area in the hall upstairs...
- We watched the latest Star Wars movie Sunday...I hadn't seen it...it was pretty great...
- Some kind and helpful words from a friend this morning...
- Getting all sorts of logistical things sorted out...medical stuff for school, doctors appointments, HI driver's licenses, fixing my printer broken during the move, etc...slowly but surely...
Happy Monday!
