More work today. Only two weeks to go and we're trying like mad to get our big projects done before Junior takes priority. Uncle Cliff called last night and offered to help us with our projects, for which we are truly grateful. He and Mark pulled out all of our food storage buckets (which are many thanks to several families dumping their wheat and beans on us before leaving the state) and sprayed for bugs. The freezer fix-it man came and told us our compressor needs replaced. The good news is--it's under warranty and we won't have to pay a cent for the new one. The bad news is--it'll be another week before they get the part. So, we threw away a lot of ice cream and meat and saved as many of my casseroles and frozen meals as we could. If we're lucky, RCWilley will reimburse us for the lost food, since an extended warranty was purchased with the freezer. Mark worked hard on vacuuming out the basement and tidying things up down there. And I folded laundry and pulled out baby necessities (like a carseat) and cleaned bathrooms and the toy room. The boys played happily for the most part and helped out occassionally with chores, like looking for bugs and tossing toys in various buckets. Mark went to the Stake Priesthood meeting. Our neighborhood crossing guard's children stopped by to play Nintendo with Hunter and Noah. And our neighbor Elizabeth (who asked if she could invite herself to dinner a week ago) came over with some pizza to share and watched "Calendar Girls" with us. Another busy Saturday--hopefully only two more to go till this baby gets here.
