Bean and Genghis moved downstairs.


I sure wanted to get out into the hills on Saturday, but instead pop and I did a job that needed to be done...we moved Bean and Genghis in downstairs. It's a much more comfortable room as far as staying warm or cool goes so they were all for it, but not here to help. That's not all bad. Too many opinions about how to get that dang bed out the door can be irritating. This job also included moving all of Supe's boxes up to Bean's old room...a very heavy task with all of his books. Why, I ask myself every time I move them, did I work so hard to instill a love of reading into my kids. Books are soooo heavy to move. Then we got Bean's old room set up so Paul can have a place to paint and leave things out until he has time to get back to them. It's also an extra sleeping place for company. It was a hard day's work, but we got it done by noon and then Paul went over to his mom's to watch BYU cream that other team and do home repairs for her. I was happy to have a catch up day to clean the house after being out of town so much. Bean had "the best date of his life" on Saturday afternoon (he worked all morning). A girl took him clothes shopping and he insisted she shop too so it was great because they just spent all afternoon trying things on and "checking each other out". She's one of his friend's sisters and volunteered to drive him and help him pick out some new, non grease stained clothes. What an angel! So, even though we didn't get to hike or camp, we had a great Saturday! (The room looks rather bland, but we didn't get any pictures hung. Bean will have to finish the decorating himself.)

  1. Yeah, I have been meaning to talk to you about the "love of books" idea. Moving them is so much fun! Haha. Oh well at least they are smart because of it:)

  2. Haha! I like Christie's comment--Moss has way too many books for how often they move. We finally got some of our books unpacked and organized this weekend too. Sounds like Bean is doing pretty well. I wish I had someone to take me shopping and someone else to watch my kids while I was gone. Sigh.
