The productive weekend began on Friday evening, when I met my sister half way between Omaha and Des Moines to pick up my niece, Katelyn, for the weekend. She agreed to take care of the kids while Dave and I worked on getting things cleaned up in the yard and items taken to the storage unit.
On Saturday morning, we woke up bright and early to get the day started. Dave and I ran to Menards and the Habitat for Humanity Restore to pick up some things. We were bummed it was raining and looked like rain most of the day but we figured we had some odds and ends things to get finished anyway. Dave is on vacation this upcoming week, so he could finish up some of the things we couldn't complete due to the rain.
Katelyn took awesome care of the kids and little-C didn't seem to mind when we had to run to the store. She made sure to give us a hug, kiss, high five and knuckles before we left each time. It's her ritual when she says goodbye to anyone.
