Time for a Change Part 3
One more home update to share! We went from this… to this… It’s bright, it’s light, it’s green, and I love it! Than painted all the trim, I was in charge of the roller (and only spilled a little paint…) and the kids occupied themselves for a day and a half remarkably well. I can’t [...]
Pinewood Derby
This was Nathan’s first year to enter a car in the Pinewood Derby at church. He and Than started work on the car at the Father-Son sleepover in January. They finished the painting at home, enlisted my help with some vinyl stickers, and ended up with this fun version of Lightning McQueen. The day of [...]
Time for a Change Part 2
Following my post about the demolition of the stairs, we got to work on making them look new and nice. Here’s how they turned out… A bit of an improvement, don’t you think? (Check back on the old post for a before-after comparison if you’re not sure…!!) Now, stay tuned for another fun home update coming [...]
101 in 1001
Well, day 700 has come and gone in my 101 in 1001 project. I’ve finished about 63% of what I set out to do, so there is plenty of work still to go. I’ve finished over 80% of my friendship goals but less than 40% of my hobby goals. At least it is like that, [...]
On My Front Door
Thanks to tons of hot glue, several hours watching DVDs from the library, and the instructions HERE and HERE, I ended up with this… A new take on sheet music, that’s for sure.
Time for a Change
Word of warning: be careful when you leave Than home alone…! I was gone for a morning and came back to find that Than had begun the renovation of our basement stairs, a project we’ve been hoping to do for a while. He had the carpet ripped out and now we have no carpet in [...]
Mystery Revealed
Thanks to all you intrepid guessers! This mystery object… is actually the vegetable that usually looks like this… This man grew it and gave it to me. It weighed in at nearly 2 lbs., and I turned it into a yummy batch of this (although that isn’t my photo)… Click here for the recipe (but [...]
A Guessing Game
Can you guess what this is? Post a comment if you have a guess! I’ll give the answer (and tell you what I did with it) in a few days…
Gifts
We’ve had the opportunity to help both Nathan and Katya select gifts for family members this year. It is fun to see what they choose (and to wonder sometimes why they chose it…) Katya has enjoyed helping wrap her gifts too, and even tried to write the names on the packages. I think she did a surprisingly good [...]
