been a while

It was a quiet week.  James stopped by for supper one evening.  Aaron was here for a little while.  I saw my parents, and we spent Saturday afternoon with Jay's parents.

Sunday the guys were working at Kirsten's house, so I went to keep Heidi company.  Maria came too, and then Kari and Andrew showed up.  We ate and Kari and Andrew played Barbies with the kids.

It was nice and we got outside for the first time.  The new neighbors came over to introduce themselves, seem very nice.

It was the nicest kind of afternoon, lots of laughing.  We folded some laundry--it was pretty perfect.

Later that evening we attempted to switch out Julia's mattress.  She'd been sleeping on an air bed that was about twenty five years old and constantly leaking air, having to be pumped back up again.  This has been going on for a while, so we brought up this mattress.

Well.

It's a queen mattress on an old full sized bed.  Not gonna happen.  And this mattress is heavy as hell.  It took a struggle for Jay and Tim in the stairway. This house has petite 40s proportions, and oh my goodness.

She slept on the bed in Tim's old room instead last night.

Today I went upstairs to do some measuring so I could go buy her a different mattress, and this little girl was cute. 

And so are these guys.

Later that beast of a mattress was dragged out and is in the trailer for city-wide clean up day disposal.

And now the bed is all back together with a new mattress and life is good.

Happy Monday!

Love, Val

Oh, and when I got home from buying the mattress realized I had on two different shoes.  Okay, that's weird.
