A Weekend of Sunshine

It started out looking like a great weekend for soccer... However, let me just tell you about the wind! It was so bad that at Lake Park we even had high wind sirens going off... Yes, high wind sirens do exist! It was a windy mess... Hunter played first and lost 2-1 then Brandon played right after him and won 5-2. It was FREEZING cold out there with all that wind and 3 hours outside watching soccer left us chilled to the bone.

On Thursday night both the kids were not feeling well and seemed to be fighting off something. It came and went with just a few incidents so Friday we took it easy. Brandon fought a fever all day so Friday night I started the floor of the shower. On Wednesday and Thursday I was able to get all the corners and seams taped and the thinset on them. By Friday night he was feeling better so he helped me lay the mortar bed down. We were covered in concrete and he helped me mix it up and then mash it down to the floor. He thought it was great to be allowed to get soooo dirty. I must have carried 500 pounds of concrete from the back patio to the bathroom and am paying for it now. But happily the floor is down and cured and we are ready to start tiling (once we can agree on the tile).

And better late than never...

Mar 20. He is the best babysitter EVER!
Mar 21. He is supportive of me.
Mar 22. He will help me with construction (which he hates) if I ask him real nice.
Mar 23. He has been patient with the mess.
Mar 24. I can break him. If he is mad or upset I can pull him out of it.
Mar 25. He stays calm when the kids are sick.
Mar 26. He helped me stir concrete when my arms got tired.
