1. Our dryer officially died last Friday. After Jeff attempted to fix it for the fourth time in the past 18 months, a trip to Best Buy for a new one was on the agenda last weekend. I gave Jeff my 'must have's' in a dryer and I granted him the responsibility of picking out a new one. Because appliance shopping with two wild boys' is next to impossible! So, one of our major 'to do's' was to vent the dry a new/better way so, Jeff spent a good deal of time with his friend and our neighbor getting this accomplished. Much of this had to be done while the boys' were at school/daycare or in bed at night because we would have had two little head's shining their flashlights down the dryer vent hole being good helpers that they are! Our new dryer was delivered this afternoon....waaahhooo!!!
2. While Jeff had his friend helping with the dryer vent, they thought it was a good idea to quickly fix the leaky faucet in the bathtub. Well....I got home from work Thursday evening to chaos! After getting the boys' out of the house for dinner because they were too much help for everyone involved to handle, I came home to an unassembled bathtub faucet, a hole in my bathroom closet wall, and a rather damp basement ceiling. Needless to say, a visit from a plumber was on the agenda for Friday evening. All is fixed now! Jeff was just sick to his stomach about this one, but our house is going on 20 years old and luckily we fixed this leaky faucet before it became a more emergent fix and now we have an access panel to our bathtub plumbing from our closet. It really does feel good to have things fixed the correct way even if it costs you a bit more money than you had anticipated.
3. So, I thought it would be a good idea to keep the productivity train chugging along this afternoon! I chipped away the paint on our front porch, the trim around the garage door and basement sliding glass door. Well, if that wasn't enough, I convinced Jeff that borrowing our friends' pressure washer was a good idea! So, we got the house pressure washed this afternoon! Yay! Now, I just need to pretreat my porch and garage/sliding door trim and give it a new coat of white paint! Jeff and I took turns keeping an eye on the boys' while we worked on this project, but both of the boys' enjoyed running through the mist of the pressure wash inbetween playing in the sandbox and on their swing set!
I have officially decided that a Pressure Washer is my new favorite power tool! I am sitting here right now thinking of all of the things I could wash..ha! It was bath night and I thought for a nanosecond if pressure washing your children would warrant a phone call from DHS..ha!
To end this novel of a post, here is a picture that Jeff took last weekend of Ty going potty in the big boy urinal! Could little bum be any cuter?!? (Yes, this makes me crazy looking at his little hands on that urinal, but my first question when he brought Ty back to the table in the restaurant was if he washed his hands!!)
Does he have his pajama's on?
