It was a busy weekend to lead up to my first day of the new job. Since we want to finish up the floors downstairs while Brandon is off the next month, our bedroom needed to be sanded, primed, painted and carpet removed. So that was the main event with a lot of other stuff filling in the gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you tell you are in the Midwest? You watch Friday Night Football next to a cornfield. We hadn’t planned on going but while we were eating supper, Morgan asked “is there a game tonight?” Which I knew meant her friends must be going, so we headed to our second game in two days. But it was worth it because both girls found friends to play with and had a great time. Natalie was not ready to leave when the game was over. \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another way to tell is there is an inflatable pig costume at the game for no other reason than it’s funny. We hope it makes an appearance at all the games. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
View from my new walking route. I will soon be walking in the dark, so I ordered a lighted vest last week. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Then it was time to get rid of the yellow. Yellow ceiling, yellow walls, and yellow carpeting…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had done a round of plaster repair but that was interrupted, so there were still spots that needed sanding and a couple that we had to put another layer on. While that was drying, we headed to the canal where Brandon and Morgan rode their bikes in pursuit of walnuts while Natalie and I threw some rocks in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finished up with priming and painting the ceiling Saturday and it needed time to dry before we could tape around the ceiling to add the paint to the walls. It worked out since we had family pictures then had to come through with the bribe and got ice cream after. Morgan would pose for hours for pictures while Natalie was done after one shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morgan had a practice for the Storm Sweeties performance for the upcoming football game after pictures and ice cream. Brandon and I got the room painted while she was gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
We explored the “West Place” Sunday night. It has a cool barn with a basement and some other interesting old buildings. The girls and I had explored there in the spring, but Brandon hadn’t checked it out yet. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Had to get a picture of the carpet before it went bye-bye. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We got the carpet up and are working on the tack strips and staples. We rounded out the long weekend with a trip to Menards to get fun stuff like a dehumidifier and water dispenser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The girls are getting driving lessons down the long drive way. They have a long way to go. LOL!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hope you all had a fun and productive weekend! I’m excited to start the job tomorrow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
