yes, people, that's snow. in late march. so not cool.
the dumpster's here. and what a sight it is... after a very much anticipated wait, we finally got our permit to close in our screened-in porch! we're knocking out the wall you see in the last picture and enclosing the rest. adding a storage bench that will double as a window seat along the back wall, some built-in bookcases, and a cozy rug.
i am someone who needs to wake up and come down to a clean kitchen and have enough time to unload the dishwasher before the day actually gets going. right now, our only play area for the boys is down in the basement. or dungeon, as i sometimes call it, especially on spring days when it's blizzarding outside. (thank you, kansas weather) so as soon as we come down, we have to have breakfast on the table. and after breakfast is finished, we must get to playing! which means, on days where it's just me, the dirty dishes pile up in the sink because the dishwasher hasn't been unloaded, i have no motivation to unload it, and then the whole day just unravels. all because i couldn't have a clean and empty sink. so i'm being a bit dramatic, but it's mostly true. i feel like having this room is going to solve all my problems. it's right off of the kitchen, where i'll be able to see the boys, there will be windows and daylight all around, and i just may be able to enjoy my own breakfast while they play! hallelujah!
the framing guy is already at work, the boys are enthralled, and bryan and i are so excited. now all i have to do is convince bryan that the big purple oar doesn't really belong in our dining room.
