My last couple posts have been about free stuff that I've gotten and I really haven't blogged about anything real interesting. I'll try to do that now, but I'm not sure it will be anymore exciting then free items and coupons.. LOL. ( Though, depending on who you are - those kind of things may really excite you.)

On the Homeschooling front, we've had a week off and have really enjoyed it. Our co-op schedule this year has us 8 weeks on and 1 week off. I don't think we will always take the whole week off, but it was needed this time around. After learning EVERYTHING about the Periodic Table in Chemistry and discussing Principles that our Founding Fathers formed on country on in Political Science, our brains needed a vacation.


On the Home front - We started working on our dining room. I took on a painting adventure of glazing, something I've never done. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Here is a before picture. It's not usually that messy and we had already pulled the furniture away from the wall when I remembered to do a before picture ( don't you hate it when you forget to do that!)




I still need to hang the drapes that I got , so it's not completely finished yet. But I'll go ahead and share a pre-after picture.

Excuse the ladder.. that's not a new addition to the room.

That's about level of exciting things going on here... LOL. If I ever get a drapery rode and hang the drapes, I'll take a more applicable picture to share.

Hope you have more excitement in your weekend than I've had this week.
