How Stuff Gets Done

We’re trying to keep momentum going on the basement, so Brady has been spending time working down there most every weekday afternoon. We made a list of all we can do before the big things like drywall need to start.

Today, he’s been working on central vac stuff. The stretch of time after school and before supper tends to be our “witching hour” so he often takes the kids down with him. That way, they’re occupied and happy, time moves a little quicker, and I can be upstairs and get the blog up!

Except that a certain little Miss woke up early and isn’t feeling especially patient with my this afternoon. So this is how I’m getting stuff done today.

She’s playing with a bag of wipes. Or more realistically, she’s eating a bag of wipes. But hey, she’s happy that it makes sound and she’s getting some good tummy time in, so I’m not complaining! She is a little, but its holding her off for a bit anyway.

So I have the baby, and Brady has the others.

This is usually how stuff goes down around here. I’m so thrilled that our kids are capable of being in a bit of a work zone without getting into much mischief! They love to see the progress and “help” Brady with little jobs all around. Its true that the basement would probably be done faster if I just kept them upstairs with me, but they are enjoying it SO much, they’re learning from it, and its still progressing. So we’re happy 🙂

Wish us luck! If we buckle down, we could be done this next stuff pretty quick if we keep moving! Yet our time seems to fill SO fast. We have at least one commitment every day this week! Lots of them are great, and all of them are necessary, but man its full! I’d for sure like to have all these little things accomplished by the end of February, and its completely doable! We just need to keep disciplined.!
