Weekend Recap
The Filipino BBQ was a huge success. We will definitely being doing that, again.
Josh thoroughly vacuumed the entire house, which really helped. I'll be washing the carpets this week in the bedrooms, I'd be hoping to do it today but Tiger ran out of dogfood and needs me to run her to the mainland. Again. With no warning. *eye roll*
We picked up a nice shoe rack/entry bench at one of the garage sales in the neighborhood. Its almost exactly what I wanted and it looks great in the foyer. Just a simple IKEA-type white shoe organizer with a pad on top, I'd have preferred a taller one with more storage. There may be an add on so I'll check the website for that. I folded a thick wool blanket around the seating pad until I can find a indoor/outdoor fabric to cover it. Its now become Libby's favorite place to hang out. Making our little huntress happy is always a good idea. We'll be hanging some of the Navy propaganda framed prints in the foyer, which should make the room look inviting and colorful without mucking it up with too much stuff.
Josh bought the pieces necessary to hang the gate in front of Buhalla/Duckgard. I'm hoping he'll have time during the week to do so. For anyone wondering, I went on strike and refused to go in there until he fixed that damn gate as I'm tired of screwing up my knee climbing over it. So the boys, who were shouldering all the work feeding and caring for the critters, finally prioritized the gate. Buhawahahahahaaaa. They also screwed the wood "bars" across the front of the pens to keep the fencing from snagging and giving me somewhere to hold on when I have to step into the pens. I'm thrilled! We're going to hang another set of lights out there, those soft squishy holiday rope lights that work so well.
I'm still trying to organize the back porch for a comfortable Winter hang out. I'd love a chimnea, but its not in the budget right now though I'm combing Craigslist and Freecycle for one. We'll be moving one or both of the chairs and table sets from out front to the porch, because now that the rain is setting in no one wants to hang out in it!
I've started Halloween decorating, though as always I'm stymied by the lack of flat places for the decorations. I'm still looking for some cute lights for the porch roofing. Josh and Kevin have a brand new idea for a new yard menorah this year, so I'm already dreading that.
