Prepping For Stuff
Aug. 21st, 2016 11:32 pmTogether with Wonderful Husband, I finally got the floors cleaned this morning. The whole house, swept and vacuumed. It's been needing it for a while. Somehow sweeping is harder work than it seems - I always end up sweating by the time I get the whole house done. But with two of us doing the work, I wasn't dripping the way I usually do. And we've been churning through laundry and tidying and generally trying to get the house and ourselves ready to have a new baby in a couple weeks.
As part of that, this afternoon we went back to Babies 'R' Us, this time with Squiddle in tow. And tried him in the seat of just about every double stroller they had.
He's two. (Okay, almost three.) And pretty much on par size-wise with his agemates. And he was too big for all of the strollers except one! And that one was one of the double-wides. (Not the one I was considering, though, which no place within 50 miles has in stock for us to try out.) There's no point in us getting a stroller for two children if it's decidedly not going to fit one of them! So we are back to dithering.
But, in the "done" category, I have finished and posted my Block Lotto quilt squares for the month, and made up the first of the sample blocks for my quilt guild's September Block of the Month. It's a pumpkin design I charted out by myself, and good job I did a test block before cutting and sewing everything - there was one mistake in my measurements.
In any case, it's late and my bed has clean sheets calling my name. (And the backyard apparently has a pair of raccoons, not calling my name. This is part of why our cats come in at night....)
