Has just been one insanely busy crazy week!! Week of inventory at work is always a crazy time. Pushing extra hours at work, the added heat and just the stress to have everything done...then the stress of working your tail end off the day after catching up and doing paperwork.
This year inventory fell on a Wednesday so I had the day off (can't log items into the system when the system has to be down). Rare treat to be off in the middle of the week. Took full advantage of the day,tossed the to do list and had a great time. Lots of play time at the park, went for ice cream cones then lots of swimming in the pool in the afternoon/evening. Kaya was all smiles all day :)
Have been trying to stick to certain ideas on the food menu and we've been doing Friday Fun Food day. I'm off every weekend but one a month so Friday after work kicks off the fun weekend :) Last week it was yummy omelets (something we never do for supper) with whatever fixings we each wanted. This Friday Kaya picked homemade pancakes and smokey links for her and homemade biscuits with homemade deer sausage gravy for the gang. It's nice to change up the menu to something fun :)
Last night Steve decided to clean the garage and had a lot of it done by the time I got home. We ate supper then got back to work. I am pleasantly pleased at how much we got done and how much room we opened up :) We moved my garage fridge (I use it for extra milk, tea, etc and I use the freezer side to store flour while I freeze it etc) next to my deep freeze. I like how it looks and it should flow pretty well when doing garden veggies etc. I love having a spare fridge in the garage especially when having bday parties or get togethers because I have the extra room to store desserts etc.
We put our shelving we built into place. We now have a spot for the tools we use alot without having to go to the back of the garage. It also holds our cases of bulk drinking water on the bottom, the bedding for the tortoise and the ice cream maker so it's all within reach of the garage door. Have a few more tweaks to do then the garage will be done for winter.
One goal is to get the seed rack cleaned down, storage put where it should be on it and get it set to start a winter round of seedlings :) We will also be putting another set of racks we build into the garage as extra pantry shelving.
I also have to hit Kaya's toy totes. Sigh. HATE that job worse than anything. It's hard to sort and remember how little she was. But..we always keep special toys and we try to donate her other ones that were just regular old toys but in good shape to either Santa's helpers or the reservation.
After a sweaty job completed we hit the pool for a long evening swim. Kaya loved floating around and watching our two bat buddies swoop overhead looking for bugs. She simply loves bats and one of her fave stuff animals is a brown bat!! :)
