What Daddy Did Yesterday

On Saturday morning we rented a pick-up truck to haul the junk in the storage space under the stairs to the dump. Husband held Bella as we filled out the paperwork so that she could see the very exciting pictures of trucks you could rent. During a quiet moment while the rental place employee was entering info into the computer, Bella chose to announce that, "Daddy pooped yesterday!"

Oh, I died. God, she is awesome.

Here is what else Daddy did yesterday - cleaned out under the stairs!

Before

After

We will keep this all very positive and will not mention that it was in fact Daddy who created the under-stairs disaster in the first place back in early 2007 when he insisted we save the fugly, cheap, 80's blinds that came with our place when we bought it. He was sure they would come in handy at a rental property some day! Nevermind that they were broken, missing slats, and now hopelessly tangled in a heap on the floor. Also nevermind that his young girlfriend (this was while we still lived in sin! SCANDAL!) begged him not to save them, because seriously?  No, we will not mention that piece of information at all. Yay Daddy! We finally got this task done! Only took four years! And you pooped yesterday! HUZZAH!

I am excited at the thought of having all this functional storage space open to me, but I need to act quickly as I have about one week left of being able to access the space. Take a look at this genius design - here is our access to this space:

As you can see, what we can store in our storage space is a little limited. We can't even get our suitcases in there, let alone plastic storage bins or 8-9-months pregnant people. Tis annoying.

Hmmm...now that I look at these pictures, I'm thinking rather than make it a storage space, it could be our guest room! Very cozy and a touch rustic.

PS - Actual Easter-ish post to come later, but for now it is the wee hours of the morning and still dark and thus nary a bunny has been spotted quite yet (WHY IS IT NOT AN EASTER CHICKEN??). Have a good one!
