Nain to the rescue

Collin's mom made the trip to Cheyenne this morning to watch Dylan...while Collin and I attacked the workshop.....it is just to hard to get a project like cleaning out the workshop done and trying to keep Dylan safe thru it all..............we are so lucky to have Penny so close....and Dylan absolutely loves his Nain.....we have been watching the most disgusting show ever called hoarders.........about families that never throw anything away and have piles and piles of garbage and junk.......the show has scared us straight....and we did really well getting rid of things that we haven't used in 5 years or so but have been sitting around waiting for us....for that just in case moment......in fact I think it really hit home for Collin when he talked about renting storage in another fireman's garage for his motorcycle.....I asked why would we pay someone to keep something of value at their home....when we could throw away junk...literally maybe $30.00 on a good day at a garage sale to store this junk that we don't use.....1 month of rent is the same value of everything that we got rid of..........so the workshop is looking good....the garage now can fit 2 cars and a motorcycle and 2 lawn mowers and a couple of bikes...and our back playroom is also pretty tidy.....we came from a small house with lots of storage and a over sized 2 car garage to a big home with less storage and only a carport.......so lots of stuff got stuffed in the workshop and the back playroom....until the garage could be built....the garage is up and we love it....and now it has allowed us to get the workshop back in order and the back playroom back to a room instead of just storage......

It has been a slow weekend.....and I am loving it....it feels good though to get some stuff accomplished we still need to touch up our kitchen cabinets...we got them sanded down but need to get new paint......Collin headed to Eaton tonight to play a little poker....so Dylan and I are enjoying a evening of playing and watching a little tv.......tomorrow I will say good bye to all my Christmas decorations for another year....and the back to work on Monday.......
