Mr. Mom day drei (4)

Doesn't this little girl deserve a home?


Today was their last full day in Latvia; they went to court and handled the last of the adoption paperwork for Nathan/Dins and he is now 100% a "Clinger"! Congrats on all the hard work :) Tuesday morning they catch a short flight back to Venice and will have to stay until Thursday when they can catch the next Delta flight home (via New York again).

Today was another busy day at the house; worked half a day this morning and then started right back working on things. Had to get Sadie up earlier than normal so her schedule was a little jacked up today but she did really good. I tried to rearrange our old furniture to see if it would fit perpendicular to its original position but it was way too cramped so I had to put it right back where it was :( I really hoped it would work out so Nicole would feel like she came home to a whole new room. I am making some headway on getting some of her pictures hung up on the wall, so that will help. Also, last night I ran out to get some replacement blinds and curtain rods so I could slap up some window treatments.

After school, I picked up Nathan and Caleb from Amanda's house and they hung out with my boys for a little bit this afternoon. I asked Chad if he could swing by WalMart and pick up a few more storage containers for me so if nothing else, things are staged away in tidy little containers. Finding everything might be a challenge though... About 4:00, TJ Padgett and I ran over to the Windy Mill subdivision and installed a brand new net on their tennis courts and are hoping to test it out tomorrow night! Chad picked up Isabelle and Brayden and we took the kids to dinner at Chick-Fil-A and then grabbed some icecream and hung out at my house for a while. I got all the kids bathed and in the bed by 9:00 (on time) and started working on filling the new containers. There is only ONE MORE left in the living room, and it is mainly decorations Nicole is going to have to decide what to do with.

Last night I cleaned the bathroom, tonight was dishes and laundry. I changed the sheets on the bed and was saddened to learn that Nicole's favorite sheets have a large tear in them :(... she will be heartbroken. I put the tear on my side and (ahem) put some tape on it to hold until I can find some replacement sheets.

Tomorrow will be another half day of work, followed by some work around the house and hopefully tennis in the evening after my parents pick up the kids...
