The inlaws are coming!

Chris's parents are coming down for a visit this weekend to see our new house. I don't care how much of a neatnik you are, when your inlaws come for a visit you are BUSY getting things ready for their arrival.

This past week the UPS guy has delivered packages to our home Monday - Thursday with all sorts of things we have purchased online for the house.

Scrambling to get as much done as we could, here is what we managed to accomplish:

• weeded flowerbed and planted 6 mums & covered with mulch
• assembled bench and shelf for our entryway
• assembled and hung a train shelf in our bathroom
• swept up pine needles & miscellaneous debris from the driveway

And on top of this there was of course the standard laundry, cleaning, tidying, and grocery shopping to prepare for any houseguest.

All this being said you would think that I don't like to have people over. But in fact it's quite the opposite - I really enjoy playing hostess. And if nothing else it forces us to give the house a good cleaning!
