I can almost taste it...

Oh how I can't wait for THIS masterpiece BBQ to be finished!!!

Ryan is so handy...I just can't even comprehend how he sees this in his head, he does some research and then he just DOES it! He's been working so hard on getting our backyard done (and we've been saving, and saving to make it all happen). Now that the cement is poured, the BBQ is the next step and my mouth is already watering! YUMMMY!

I love that Ryan thinks about, and follows through with every little detail to make it JUST right!

So, stay tuned for pictures of the finished product soon!

Project Friday

Before: in the laundry room

After: in the laundry room (not PERFECT but, better!)

Before: under the snack bar

After: under the snack bar

Before: the worst one...in the kitchen


After: in the kitchen (I don't know WHY I can't get a clear picture of this!)
This one shows the biggest change.
I proceeded to scrub (and paint where needed) the rest of the baseboards in the house, and it's amazing what a difference it makes! I feel like my house is new again (at least the baseboards).



AND FOR NEXT WEEK!

I will go through the bins in Ezzy's closet and sort through all of it...
"Out with the old, in the new" (well, hand-me-downs)




Just an up-date...the kids LOVE their hide-out,
keep it tidy and can play to their hearts' content.

I love opening the door to the Hide Out and seeing things like THIS:

all better

This morning, while lying on the couch, weeping over the events of the morning (and letting my hormones and emotions get the best of me) this sweet little guy came over for some words of cheer:

"Mom, get happy!" he said, with a big smile, and head cocked to the left.

He wiped the tear away, then saw more..."uh oh, Mom, I'll get it." Then he went to the kitchen, got the dish towel and proceeded to wipe my eyes.

After tossing the towel over his shoulder, he got a smile out of me. "Mommy's happy again!" he shouted. Then he laid his head on my shoulder.

A Sunday Afternoon

I was testing my new camera for the first time. This is just for fun.
