The floor is finally ready, so Auntie, Gichan, and Grandma have all been over here for the last couple of days, putting the finishing touches on the new bedroom for Rerun and Thumper.

Auntie put up the numbers on the “outfield wall,” and Gichan got the molding cut and nailed into place.

And today, the bunk bed was disassembled and moved into the room – and guess who is sleeping on the top bunk tonight?

Now, even though Thumper will eventually take over the bottom bunk, we are holding it open for Ane.  She has to have somewhere to sleep when she gets back from Maui, after all.  Thumper still has his toddler bed, so he has a place to sleep until we move more things around.

And with the bunk bed out of the room, along with the dresser, it’s time to start taking Ane’s old room apart and making it over for Tad…

Ane’s in Maui, Rerun’s at summer camp, and this week, Tad is at the art studio, taking an intro to watercolors day camp class from his teacher.

Watercolors has never been Tad’s preferred medium, but I was pleased to have him choose this camp and try something new.

I’m enjoying seeing him stretch himself a little!  This painting of leaves came home today, and he gave it to Grandma for her office at work.  We’ll see what else he comes home with this week…

Yes, we’ve received our first text messages from Ane, and she is enjoying being back on Maui again.

Next time, do you think I could go instead?

I’m sure she’ll be sending a lot of pictures this week!

It’s Monday and we have a lot of things to talk about and plan for.

First, donuts.  Then, escalator rides.  It’s a busy day ahead!

It’s the last week of camp, and as much as I’m going to enjoy sleeping in a little and not fighting rush hour traffic, I am going to miss this time with Thumper.
