Let there be walls!

This past weekend was a work weekend with the basement. We aren't home that many weekends so when we are it's always catching up with something. Plus with baby #2 on the way the deadline to finish the basement is a little more permanent. Tim almost finished hanging all the drywall. On Saturday he decided to re-wire the cable again (third times a charm) so that took a good chunk of the day. All that is left is 2 closets and a bottom row of the long wall in the main room. Honestly I did help a little bit when Abby took a nap, but then resorted to cleaning up all the dust and trash until I started sneezing and had to get out of the dust.



The foot of the stairs is now completed.


This is going to be the office. It looks a lot smaller with walls now, but the closets look huge, go figure!

We did get out of the house though on Saturday evening. We went to church (which Abby now sings during songs, very entertaining for all of those around her) and then headed to Mexico, MO for my previous manager's 25th Wedding Anniversary Party. It was a very nice gathering and the weather was perfect to be outside. Abby occupied her time going up and down the deck stairs and eating grapes and cheese. Everyone enjoyed seeing her and she of course enjoyed sharing her grapes with everyone.


We had to leave around 8:30 to get someone to bed so Teresa sent us with some cupcakes "to go" and Abby enjoyed them the next day quite a bit. They were actually pretty small but she managed to make a big mess either way.
Next weekend will be more of the same with finishing the drywall part and cleaning out the "crap" in the basement. Certain items have been marked that are either going to Goodwill or the dumpster. Either location is fine with me as long as it's gone. We'll see if Tim agrees with what I think is "crap".
