Making (Cat) Friends, An Interview, and Day Date

The kids and I walked to our local park and saw not one but two cats on the playground. Oh my word was Sadie excited. She played with those cats for a good 30 minutes and Mordecai had a blast petting them as well.

The one cat looked pregnant to me and I mentioned it to Sadie. A few minutes later, Sadie asked to FaceTime Jimmy and she burst out saying “Dad! You won’t believe this! There’s two cats at the park and one is pregnant!” haha. She wanted to take that cat home so badly! I have a feeling we will be frequenting this particular park often now 😜

Weekending

How was your weekend? We had our weekly Friday night Bible study (check out the kielbasa butter bean recipe here 🙂) and Saturday was a busy day! Jimmy took Sadie to work with him in the morning and made some progress on the floors in the homeschool room. The room used to have carpet, but we ripped it up and are doing polished concrete floors (with a rug or play mat on top because… kids 👧👦).

Carpet to polished concrete flooring before and after

Before we started, the carpet was beat, stained, and just done. Once we ripped the carpeting up, we spent a ton of time getting the carpet glue off the ground. Jimmy and I had a “date night” last week where we spent a few hours laying down paint thinner and scraping the floor. Saturday was all abound grinding and smoothing the concrete. I think our next step is to polish and seal it. Then we can move on to fun things like painting and putting together furniture! (more…)
