What a long weekend!

This has turned out to be a very long weekend for Ethan. Friday the contractors were here to get started on the ceilings. They told us that they were going to be working on them all weekend. They got to the house about 9:30 in the morn & didn't get finished until 7:30 that evening! They ran into a problem with the ceiling in the living room. There was a spot that was sagging from all the water damage that occured when a pipe leaked. On Sat. they got to the house around 10 & left about 1. There wasn't much that they could do since the bedroom ceiling didn't dry during the night. They did some work on the chimney since there was water damage to that & they got the living room ceiling sanded down & prepped for texturing. Today they sanded the bedroom ceiling & got the 1st coat of paint on it & they got the texturing finished in the living room & a coat of paint on that. They will be back Tues or Weds to finish the job. Poor Ethan has not been able to nap like he normally does. In a typical day he takes a 2-3 hr nap around 11:00 & a 1 hr nap around 5/6. Well Fri he got a total of 40 mins broken up into 3 naps, yesterday he went down around 1 when the guys were gone, then today he took a 10 min nap in his swing after he cried for 45 mins then we managed to get another half hour or so out of him around 3. Once the guys were gone for the day Matt aired out the upstairs & the living room & we were able to get Ethan down for a nap in his bed by 4. Of course he fussed for a half hour before finally falling asleep. It's 6:30 now & he's still sleeping. We are going to give him til 7 then wake him up for his dinner. My poor baby is just tuckered out from all the activity all weekend. While they work in the living room we take Ethan down to the basement so that he isn't around all the dust & fumes. Tomorrow will be a normal day. I don't plan on going anywhere I have things to do that I haven't been able to get done due to all the work being done. We'll be glad when it's all done. It's nice to look up at the ceiling & not see an ugly brown stain on the ceiling. It really detracted from all the work we did when we bought the house.
