We spent most of our weekend building a shed in the backyard. One of the drawbacks to this house is that it doesn't have the oversized garage that we had at the old place (and that we never fully appreciated until we moved!). So, we bought an 8x6 shed and this past weekend was construction time. We (well, mostly Chris!) built the base a couple of weekends ago, so this past weekend we pulled out the ten million shed pieces, organized them and built the mother of all sheds.
It was really pretty impressive, we started at about 11:00a.m. on Saturday, had the whole thing up (but not totally screwed together) by 3:00p.m. the same day. We were back at it on Sunday morning, and were finished the whole thing by noon. Not bad considering I'm 36 weeks preggers and we had the two boys with us the whole time!
Actually the boys were awesome - they are definitely true boys. Give them some tools (especially a power screwdriver!) and they can entertain themselves for hours!
Currently Chris and I are working frantically to finish the basement, and move Quinn into his 'big boy' room. Chris finished the painting last night, and the carpet should arrive on Monday so then the basement will be DONE!!!!!! The new bed will arrive on Friday, so either Friday or Saturday night will be the big move for Quinn into his big boy room. Fingers crossed that he makes the transition to the bed a little better than Aidan did.
In other news, I'm totally bummed out right now. I managed to go 36.5 weeks through this prenancy without getting sick, but now I have been hit with the mother of all colds. Quinn's been under the weather for a couple of days, and I think I've caught whatever he has. Runny nose, sore throat, congestion headaches and general feeling like crap. Grrr.....
