On to plan B, the basement. The only problem was that the basement was full of.... well, let's just say that I still had camping gear out from our last trip two months ago:) Thanks in no small part to a good friend from Church, we had room for a lot of stuff in our new storage area. The CFO took Friday off. The Triplets played in the basement while we moved stuff around and started the transformation from a huge junk room to a basement we could use. We worked on it from 9am - 11:30 am, had lunch, then I took a nap with the Triplets while the CFO continued work on the basement. I would have let her sleep with them but, well.... let's just say that me "working" on the basement without her "direction" would be counter productive to our goal:) She continued working on it through dinner. The in-laws came in town Friday night and they bathed the Triplets while I cleaned the house. After we put the Triplets to bed (very late) the CFO was thinking it wouldn't get done. With a little of my annoying positivity she was coerced into head back down for one last go at it. We finally finished up and got to bed around 2am.
I woke up Saturday at 6am to take a load of trash to the dump to finish the job. The in-laws watched the Triplets until the party so we could decorate. My Mom picked up the cupcake cake and the CFO picked up some balloons. By 10:30 am the transformation was complete and we had us a party!!!!
At every party there are two kinds of people -- those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.”
