So Saturday was R's birthday party. Sunday was getting ready for the garage teardown. Monday was R's actual birthday. Today is my birthday and they tore down the garage. Got all that?
Actually the dumpster arrived at 6:45 a.m. and I had to move my car in my jammies. This was sort of a precurser to how my birthday would go... I had to work in R's co-op preschool today because of his birthday. We brought in glazed pumpkin muffins, but I digress. So we all got ready, the construction crew arrived at 7:30 and we were out the door at 8:15. I dropped Saff off at a friend's house (who didn't yet know her kids were sick) and went off with R to preschool. I worked there for a couple of hours and then went back to pick up Saff. My friend was kind enough to feed us. When we got home... this is what our back yard looked like...
But they had issues. The tree removal guys did not get all the stump and roots out. So our crew had to call in another stump removal service to "fix" it. So meanwhile, the dogs are locked in the house and barking at every man who walks from the backyard to the front. The kids need naps and I'm running low on energy. I finally get them to sleep (thank God for our sound machine) and this guy shows up with his stump grinder which wakes the kids up...
When N finally gets home, I'm a bit worn out. So, I went and picked up sushi all by my lonesome and I made him promise me a "raincheck" on my birthday activities. After I'm done here, I hope to pull out the sewing machine and get crafty!
