My almost 4 year old counts down the days to the weekend, too. When I drive her to daycare/school, she'll ask, "Daddy, what day is it?"--every day. Then from there she'll count how many days until Saturday. It's Wednesday morning, for example, "So it's three more days of school then it's stay home day? The weekend?" Yes. "Yippee!". She enjoys school, but like me, likes the weekends better.
This weekend was exhausting. Saturday morning I woke up early--couldn't sleep--and painted the back side of the garage in a couple of hours before everyone woke up. This was the side with the most siding damage. Then we went yardsaling at a big community sale--should have skipped it. Had lunch and while the fam napped, I stole away to HD and bought 50' of gutters and supplies. I spent the rest of the day hanging gutters on my garage/shop and tying into an existing gutter. That should address all the rain water that gets splashed back onto the structure causing the rotted siding. I slept really well Saturday night.
On Sunday we played hooky from church. I had to move my CL wood haul from the patio--we're having a party next weekend. The red oak boards went to the attic of the house and the poplar boards went into the shop. At noon we had to go to a kid's B-day party and didn't get back until 5pm. The kids splashed in the kiddie pool and I setup a large plastic storage box behind the garage to store excess crap.
I slipped away to HD again to buy some molding to finish the uppers in the kitchen. I still need to install the molding, paint them and the face frames as well as the soffits, and then hang the new doors. I want to do this by next Sunday for our party.
