Not a super exciting weekend in the old Goedel Household but we did get a lot done. I was in day camp and swim team all week and by Friday, I was ready for a day of relaxation. Mom had other ideas though because it was Housecleaning Friday!! I totally got put to work vacuuming and dusting- which I have to admit, wasn't horrible. And the house looks better.
We met dad that afternoon to see Pirates of the Caribbean movie and we all really liked it so Friday wasn't a complete dud.
We woke up Saturday and mom headed out for her run and dad and I putzed around the house. When mom came back, she got a wild hair and decided it was a good day to paint the bathroom. It was just one small wall and didn't take long. It was all good until Dad asked if mom wanted to do the mirror as well. Well, of course she wanted to do the mirror as well! So they took down the old plate glass mirror which left several big glue spot areas that needed to fixed. Which led to repainting that wall. And then dad said we should replace the light too since we were in there already. Which led to a trip to the hardware store to pick one out. And by then, it was dark and time for a beer so we woke up Sunday morning to continue painting, patching and hanging. And you know what? The whole thing looks pretty nice. And considering mom's lack of painting expertise and the fact that she was working with navy blue paint, there aren't too many flubbies to report. Well there is one, but it is down behind the toilet so if anyone is looking there, they deserve to see it.
And while all that was going, dad started organizing the garage as well. Part of that involved me going through three huge tubs of old toys that we had stashed in the garage. I sat down and went through all three tubs and condensed it down to 1/2 of one tub. (Look out Uncle Adam and Aunt Erin- you have a load of dinosaurs coming your way!) Everyone was super impressed.
