It's as big as my house


Really - it is. Bigger in fact, if you factor in the ceiling height. It's not done yet (obviously), but we really will have a warm, dry place to store all of our stuff this winter. This is the first time ever, since I've owned a car, that I get to park inside for an extended period of time. I'm a touch excited. In 6 months we'll marvel at how we ever lived in our tiny house without a garage. Especially since we'll have a truck load of baby stuff to store too.
In other house news, the baby room is almost finished and furnished. More to come...

Stats

I love stat Holidays. When I’m home, they are so productive. Many probably think of them as a day off - a chance to sleep in and lounge around all day. I think of them as a day to do everything I wish I had the time to do if I didn’t work full time. I’ve started and finished many an at-home work project on a stat holiday.
This Labour Day Monday, I set aside most of my regular household cleaning, to wash outside windows, finish painting a dresser for Baby V, do a little bit of laundry, finish stenciling the kitchen and dining room and day dream of all of the other mini projects I want to finish before Baby V comes. The day ended with visiting with family and friends and a piece of "Happy Biithday" cake.
I still found time to put my feet up. Mostly so they wouldn’t swell to the size of watermelons by the end of the day.

P.S. Motorcycle Mama - you should see the list I have for us.
