This is my view at the corner on the days the children ride the bus home. It's beautiful and makes me happy. The kids greet the cows (that they've named) as they pass them in the morning and afternoon.
I had an hour and a half to myself in my house on Saturday. Aaron took the big kids to see Hotel Transylvania 2 and Sloane took a nap. I got some little things done in the basement storage room. This broom hook set was leftover from a kit I used in the laundry room and garage and this seems like a nice place for it.
I still haven't completely updated our 72 kits but I am making progress. I've added a ton of first aid supplies, flashlights, and hot hands, and last summer's flip flops. I found some hooks in the garage that I had in Corbin's closet in our old home, and repurposed them to hang the 72 hour kits in an unused corner and free up some shelf space for preschool supplies and food storage.
Yesterday, Aaron called everyone outside in a hurry. Hundreds and hundreds of ladybugs crawled all over our home and deck! They were everywhere! Must be s sign of good luck. ;)
Here's the progress I made in just under 2 hours of moving rocks on Saturday. It's not as hard as expected (I say, after only making a teeny dent in the pile!) and the result will be so worth it. No more front yard mudslide!! Hooray!
I got to be the camera holder/clicker for Katie's family pics last night and was blown away by the view at Lake Rayburn. We never go to this lake and it was just down the road from our old house. Well done, Bella Vista. Well done.
Caps for chemo is going strong at our house! Here's the latest finished hat. I started this one when Reese was 4 and Quincy was 2. I love that it will go somewhere purposeful.
Katie came by yesterday while Sloane was napping and we knocked out the rest of the front rock and stained the deck in less than 2 hours!
I took these pics this morning so nevermind that it's already covered in leaves. ;)
Oh speaking of painting, I painted my kitchen walls yesterday while soren was at playgroup. Aaron and I discussed that we both had just become used to the unfinished drywall look in that corner. It wasn't bothersome or offensive to have bare spackle, but now that it's painted it is really pretty and looks as though it's always been there. To me, that is the sign of a successful remodel. It is a nice thing to know that the sliding door project is officially finished. And look at that cute little redhead photobombing in the corner. I love him. I have a good view, today.
