Jun. 26, 2008 - NO funny stuff today...
Ya know I find it really hard to blog out here now. I may be searching for an easier site to blog on. It's a big pain to up load photos here and making your typeset funky to fit your mood could be easier as well. That's why the only stuff I've been posting is the goofy things I find elsewhere. So now for some real updates.
Today we are 'doing school'. We've had about a week off which is more than I planned to pause for. The kids had their yearly assessment tests at the beginning of May. They both did so well! They worked hard this year and it showed!
I plan to have them do studies all summer long, not every day just enough so they don't get too rusty!
Last week Renee and I had a garage sale on Friday then went to garage sales on Saturday. I picked up two scooters with little bicycle tires for two dollars each. The kids are loving them and it give us extra toys for their friends to play on when they're over here. Sunday we had Nicole's 10th birthday party. The weather was so beautiful, we stayed out on the back porch the whole time.
Scott picked up a fort from Craigslist a couple weeks ago and he's been re-assembling it every weekend since (between rounds of golf that is). He added a rock climbing wall, and we'll hopefully be getting the tire swing attached this weekend? I don't know if that's his plan or if he wants to get the siding on first. It's gonna be super cute!
I've been restoring a desk I picked up at a garage sale for $5. It had a broken roll top on it, my lap top wouln't have fit with that on there so I just took it off and puttied in the holes, I've painted it white and distressed it, added all new hardware and now I just need to finish off the back as it had a flimsy piece of board on there since it was meant to face a wall. My desk faces out so I need that part finished. Once I've cut and painted that piece then it'll be done. (the $5 desk has increased it's price several hundred percent!)
I'll try and post pics of the fort and the desk soon.
