{They Came and Went}

The boomers headed home on Sunday after a 4 week stay.  During my last month of pregnancy my husband decided to start a business which takes him away from the home 6 days a week for nearly 16 hours a day.  Well, he is home 2.3 days a week when I work but goes right back when I walk in the door.

A few months ago I started making lists of things that needed to get done around the house.  I was starting to get really stressed over the logistics of getting things done without another adult around.  So, my parents agreed to come help with the baby and stay a few extra weeks to get everything in order. 

Here is the list of things they did:

-Reorganized the kitchen cabinets

-Cleaned out the fridge and freezer

-Reorganized the garage

-Reorganized the laundry room

-Reorganized the kids rooms and closets

-Made a toddler bed

-Refinished a dresser

-Painted and patched a hole in a wall

-Decoupaged art

-Made a new bumper and bedding for the baby

-Made a car seat cover
-Made 8 "activity kits" to keep the kids busy while I feed the baby/lay around the house

-Filled the freezer with pre-made dinners and cookies

-Reorganized the pantry

-Yard work

-Helped plan out meals and shopping lists

-My Mom introduced me to Pinterest

-Cooking, cleaning, picking up and dropping off kids, watching kids, thrifting and keeping me company

I forgot to take "before" pictures but here are some after pictures.

I bet you wish they were coming to your house next.  We sure do love and miss them!
