Making Christmas Decorations with Andrew

Painting a Snowman

Ah Fridays. To most of the working work Friday means freedom from the grind. The start of the weekend and all that it promises, that small respite between work weeks. Time to be with family and to work on projects around the house. For me it means a 24 hour period of no sleep. The first 12 hours are spent caring for and entertaining Andrew, all the while knowing that I will have another 12 plus hours of work ahead. I’m really not a fan of people posting the obligatory, “Thank God it’s Friday” posts on Facebook. I’m more like, “Oh God, it’s Friday, again!”

I’m not exactly sure where this particular project came from but after Christmas I tend to head to Target to pick up all sorts of activities that the kids can do for Christmas and leading up to Christmas. The sales turn out great and I can usually get them some fun things. Then we run out of any time to do any of it.

The garage is a two car garage and I cleaned out the left side first then moved everything over to the clean side. Then I tore all the cabinets off the wall and moved those over to the left side as well. Continue reading Picking Paint and Cleaning the Garage
