ole schnikees: 2016

Monday night after the kids were in bed, Jodi came and helped me paint; we got our bedroom almost done and the bottom part of the bathroom done. we left just before midnight.

Tuesday Trevor got a cold & fever and wasn't feeling well so we didn't do much. Mom came down just before Trevor's bedtime, so Al and I went to the new house to paint some more.

Wednesday mom, T and I went to the new house after a stop at menards to clean. I cleaned the carpets with the carpet cleaner we rented while mom and T cleaned the kitchen. we went back to the townhouse for lunch then during naptime I came back to finish up painting and I did!!! (well at least the big portions of the upstairs that needed to be done before we moved in, I still have the kitchen and top part of the bathroom to paint as well as the bar, living room and bathroom downstairs). when I got back to the townhouse after painting, about 430ish, I laid down and got a horrible fever. mom had to leave to work the next morning so I very slowly put trevor to bed and went to bed myself. I didn't sleep well but my fever finally broke about 1 am. then I dealt with the after effects of that the next day as well as cold symptoms (sore throat, stuffy nose, nausea, loss of appetite, etc)

Luckily, we didn't have much to do on Thursday as I wasn't feeling great and T was still not back to normal yet either. so we went to the new house to clean up all the painting supplies and clean the wood floors so that everything could be moved in the next 2 days. Al worked 7a-3p so after nap and once he was home, we drove up to mom's house so we'd be there for moving our stuff at her house to ec.

Friday morning, jenny, matt & gwen, manda & her girls, and meg, dave, summer, skye and ty came over to help move. mom watched the kids while we loaded everything into meg and dave's trailer from downstairs. it only took us about 45 minutes! then we all headed to ec except jenny, matt and gwenie. we unloaded everything into the garage so the greeders could head back with their trailer right away, then mom took T to the townhouse to nap. manda and her girls stayed until 4ish and manda helped Al and I take everything downstairs and put in the proper rooms.

Saturday morning, shane, Jodi & luke came down, grandpa Peter came up, and matt came over to help load up our town house stuff into the uhaul we rented. we cleared out the town house really fast but didn't get everything in the uhaul but most of it. we drove to the new house and matt helped get everything out of the uhaul then he had to go, so shane, Al, mom and I moved most stuff into the house and in the correct rooms while peter and Jodi watched the boys. then we went back quickly for the remaining items which didn't take long. came back to the new house unloaded into the garage driveway and had lunch. then shane, Jodi and luke headed out. Al and I worked more on carrying things in to house from the garage while mom tried to put Trevor down for a nap in the pack n play since we couldn't find the screws for his crib. after she put him down, mom put my shelf liner in and helped start unpacking the kitchen. T didn't end up napping so I put a movie on for him until the portable dvd player died, then he came out and watched tv while we worked (charter came just before that and set up our internet and tv). I found T's crib screws while Al returned the uhaul, so we got his crib put together and then ran to menards to get shades for T's room, went to cancun for supper, grabbed the fridge/freezer stuff from the town house and went back. we kept working until bedtime and then we all clunked out!

sunday morning we finished carrying things in from the garage, unpacked T's whole room, and finished most of the kitchen. mom took trevor up to her house for nap about 1030 and I stayed until 1ish to get some things done and shower. Al mowed the lawn with the riding lawn mower for the first time. we got wood from our friends jenny and kyle's tree both on Wednesday and on Sunday. I had softball at 6 and it was our last summer league game. we lost the game but almost tied it against the first place team. then after our usual beers in the parking lot, me, tyler, kris, jeff, manda and johnny went to D spot for wings! it was lots of fun and delicious food; I needed that friend time!

Monday morning T and I headed out back to ec right after he woke up so we could take our sprinkler obstacle course over to Jodi's house to play (we walked over there!) T had lunch over there, we walked back and he was out for nap in half an hour!

not feeling good, so movie time in this new room while momma works on the new house
