Wonderful neighbors

Today was all about building and cleaning. We bought Marcos a cheap dresser at Ikea, which you have to build yourself. So, that was my task for the day. Marcos set about doing the weekly cleaning. It was a lot of work and I smacked my thumb hard putting together the last drawer. But at least his clothes are out of boxes and the bedroom is 99.9% complete. I still have to run to Target to get a set of double drapery brackets so that we can put up the curtains on the single uncurtained window. Most of the rooms were thoroughly swept and mopped.

So, suffice to say, it's been a long and exhausting day. Imagine my surprise when I thought I had heard someone come to the front door. We don't have a working doorbell yet (it will be installed when the electrician comes to fix all kinds of things on Wednesday). I go over and see wet footsteps and a bag. A Starbucks bag.

Our neighbor from 3 doors down left us this:


And this:


Yep, we have good neighbors.
