Saturday: pictures

The cats were cute today.

I took Isaac's quilt picture and couldn't bear to move Horizon.

Isaac then decided he needed to take quilt pictures of me.

Isaac was helping me find some blue LEGO pieces and noticed there were lots of blue chairs.  We've been watching Phineas and Ferb, so he proceeded to make a blue-chair-inator.  If the item is a chair, it turns it blue.  If the item is blue, it turns it into a chair.

This afternoon we hit an amazing 65F!  There was still ice on the pond, so the boys crushed some of it.  Snack time was also outside.  Tonight it's supposed to cool back off though.

Friday: blood

 I tried giving blood again today and my iron was still too low. :(  I'll try again in a month and add an iron supplement in the meantime.

Wednesday: minifig me

I made a minifig of myself today, looking all professional and stuff.

Tuesday: grocery adventures

I didn't have many groceries to get this week, so I thought I'd do it after work instead of tomorrow morning.  I'll probably really appreciate it tomorrow, but doing it today was just a tad annoying...I didn't get my nap.

Frozen cubed potatoes are still not on the shelves.  Neither are orange cinnamon rolls, although those don't surprise me quite as much.

I also stopped wearing my mask again!  The CDC risk level for the county suddenly dropped from high to low, so I don't feel the need to wear it (for now.)  I've been expecting the level to drop, although I wasn't expecting it to drop so suddenly.  I think there was a backlog of positive tests that just dropped off the 7-day average which in turn dropped the 7-day average.  It was nice to not wear it to karate too.

Monday: this and that

 Tornado started waiting for Ben in the mid-morning.  It was just a tad early. :)

Other than that, it was a relatively normal day.  I got many things done in the while the kids were at school but as normal it would have been nicer if I could have gotten more done.

Weekend

 It's been a pretty normal weekend.  Joshua made the bag in his DoodleCrate and had a great time with it...even if we could have used a bit of practice before the final product.  Oh well.  He loved it.

Friday: O:CtH - pantry

Today I officially finished the pantry.

Here's what it looked like at the beginning.  The stuff on the floor was overflowing and the lower wire shelf was a mess.

Here is the cleaned up version.  The floor has especially been organized.  The applesauce packs were put into a container because I never know how to store them and they're so annoying to remove from the cardboard.  The few bags of food have been put in a container on the wire shelf.  Things have been resorted, at least for now, so that like things are back together.  I got rid of some food, but more so just put things back in the right places.  The opened snacks went in the snack shelf in the kitchen (and we're quickly eating them up).

This is also the place where the backpacks are stored on the weekend, so it really looks more like this:

Next up: quilting area.  This is another small area, but it has a futon that has been used as a storage location for several years.  If we're not going to use it to sit on, it seems like we should get rid of it and put up some shelves instead?  I'll need to think about it for a bit.
