Productive Saturday

We had a very productive day on Saturday. We woke up early, as always, and started off the day by taking a family bike ride. This is always our furry family member's favorite part of the day. I was also excited for the ride because it was my second with my "clipless" pedals and it went really well. (I disagree with the term for describing this type of bike pedal, but that's a post for another day.)

After our bike ride, I wrapped up my first art project for Little Man's room, which just needed a coat of varnish. Drew then went to get his hair cut while I cleaned out/organized the hall closet and tidied up our room. Our next project was shifting the furniture in the front room to make way for our bookcase. As I attempted to fit all of our books on the shelves, Drew started sorting through the storage in the garage.  After a brief lunch break, we worked a little more in the garage, and wrapped up the first session with a pretty significant pile started for our future garage sale. We feel like we've made significant progress today toward being ready for our Home Study visit!

It looks full, but trust me - it's much better now.


We got a bigger bookshelf, and we still had to box up books for the attic...

Sherlock was helping me check out the boxes of stuff gathered for the yard sale.

After some resting, we worked up a grocery list and menu plan for the week and headed over to HEB. Our final project for the day (as set forth by Drew) was to start on Sherlock's second hair cut of the summer. With only half of his hair shaved, he looks really funny right now, but he is well on his way to a "cool" new haircut.

It feels so good to be making progress and to feel as though we are actually in control of something during this process!
