I painted an old two-seater school desk and some chairs. They are now proudly (or not so) displayed on the back wall of my living room. I painted them black so they would fit in a little bit with the decor. It actually doesn't look so bad. I am going to hang a bulletin board and some tin pails for crayons and such (IF I decide to be brave, because while cleaning, I found Faith's latest mural in my entryway in red marker. Not sure I want "tools" readily available to her). I also drained the swimming pool and have done 15 loads of laundry (that MAY be an exaggeration, but it WAS a lot). The grocery shopping is done, and I even painted my toenails! I let the girls play with play-dough on the patio, and they left all the lids off even after my frequent reminders not to do so. So, now our house has no more play-dough. I really should get them some more...
A preview for you...
I made the older girls Halloween costumes (tutu-kitty's) and bought Ellie's costume, and I ordered the two little ones pumpkin treat bags from Pottery Barn to match Gracie's. I even made little tags with their initials on them using embroidery floss and some felt. Did I mention I redeemed GymBucks and got some more great outfits for Ellie? Talk about productive!! And it is only Wednesday.
Tomorrow (I think) we are heading to Fort Worth. It is Colby's birthday today, and the celebration will be Friday night at Chuck-E-Cheese. Yay! He is 6. I think we may try to catch the state Fair while we are there. I could use something fried and sweet.
Pictures will be coming of both my closet (if I get it done) and the girls new "classroom".

Wow! I'm worn out just reading about it. I've worked and worked trying to organize our home office, and it's made my whole house a big mess. Hey, if you're still in the cleaning mode when you get here, just feel free to continue!! Just kidding--I'd rather you just relax and ignore my messiness so I won't feel guilty about doing the same.
Ellie's costume is adorable. I can't wait to see you all. Be careful on the road.
yes, yes you should! I didn't really like the first season, but I LOVED the second season..and now I'm on the third! :0)
Oh my gosh, Steph!! Do you know how to get to Abilene? If not, I can give you directions. You need to come do our house next!! I bet your house is spotless!! By the way, I love Ellie's costume. I wanna see the girls' costumes. Hey, you need to take pictures of your house, like all the rooms, and post them on here...please. I am curious to see your house. I be it is so organized and spotless. Have fun at the fair. The girls will love it. There are alot of good places to take pictures there, like Fall scenery.
