Happy homemaker 2021-04-26

Good morning!

As usual busy week last week, telework, dd came home for supper on Friday and left Saturday afternoon ... her summer tires are on her car and an oil change was done.

Had gotten a few more boxes out of the attic and had found another full box of dd's school books so she went through it and it ALL went to recycling.  

A duck game and a box of small cars were sent to my son's place as well as a few pieces of baby-girl clothes, the rest will be donated.  A car roadway playmat was also sent to my son's.  

I took the children's books out of the attic and placed them in an armoire downstairs, they will be used soon.  

One day was 'paper declutter' so I went around each room and threw out or filed papers... still have those in my bedroom to do, hoping the will get done this week.

Xavier arrived Friday afternoon and went home Sunday after lunch.  Sunday afternoon my husband powerwashed patio, so I washed patio door and kitchen window (who overlook the patio), powerwashed the patio chairs and the outside of the gazebo.  I did a little more of the washing of the patio rails (can't do it all in one day or I will be hurting for a week!).  I also managed to vaccum all main floor on Sunday afternoon.

BIG NEWS - Baby girl (Anne-Élizabeth) should be coming out of the hospital today.
