Daddy Do-List

It seems that the list of things for Daddy to do in order to prepare for Poppy's arrival never gets shorter. It seems like it grows daily. I am really thankful that MP is such a worker bee.

  • MP decided a week ago that he wanted to build us cabinets for our newly screened in patio. He literally designed the cabinets he wanted, complete with a wine cooler, and began work on Monday. He's been working with his dad to literally build the custom cabinets and I can't wait for the storage space and counter top for entertaining.



  • We decided yesterday to buy a new washer and dryer. The ones we have are OK, but with the baby coming, it was time to get some energy efficient goods. We wanted a stackable set to save room in our laundry room so that we can move the cat's litter pan in there. So, yeah, the cats are spoiled like Poppyseed. But we got an amazing deal and they come tomorrow, never thought I'd be so excited for new appliances!



  • We also made our trip to IKEA yesterday that we've be planning. We got all the stuff to put organization into Poppy's closet. When we bought this house, the previous owners must have ripped out the shelving. MP started it last night (he really doesn't stop) and worked on it more today (after swimming a few miles in the Gulf today -Superdad!). In true IKEA form, all the little screws and hardware needed to complete the project were taken out of the box, and we had no idea. So once I can get down there this week to grab the hardware, MP will finish it up.
It's all coming along and yet there is so much more to do!!! Trust me, dad's list is far from over. MP, thank you for all the hard work you've been doing for Poppy and Me. We love you and are thankful for you. Mostly, we appreciate your work ethic! XO
