I have spent more time then normal away from home... dentist, eye doctor appointment, school activities and then the normal stuff. Before I knew it a week had gone by.
I didn't have the boys on Friday and Chuck took the day off. We snuck off for breakfast after Megan was off to school. It was nice to be able to talk. We called it our project meeting.
So many projects that we ended up starting a second page! Things we want to do and things we need to do. We have lived in our current home for almost 12 years and there are some things that we must attend to this year. Window boxes that Chuck built and installed when we first moved in need some maintenance and things like that. Thankfully as the list grew longer Chuck didn't get up and head for the hills!
He actually dove right in and started on a shelving unit for the laundry area.
Megan and I spent a little time talking about the garden.
I can hardly wait to get started. I think this planning session may have added another project or two to the list. lol I am going to try and add an area for some blueberry and blackberry bushes. I heard on the news today that beef prices are projected to rise 10% this summer. That means that I need to grow as much as possible to be able to buy meat!
Remember when I posted about my
addiction to making pom poms? I made a decorative stole for Megan.
After I made it I saw one in an ad in a parenting magazine. When I saw that I decided to
look them up. I was shocked at the $28.00 price tag! Super easy to make and I paid $2.77 for the yarn and used it for a couple a different projects.
She was so excited when it showed it to her. She said she is going wear it to church on Sunday.
We have been up and moving around here.
Dropping a few pounds and getting healthy is the name of the game! We walk the mall, but I am not sure it that is going to work for us. We left the dinner table and went to walk and all we heard from Megan as we walked past the food stands was how hungry she was. I think we might go broke if we walk there!
May your day be filled with joy and contentment!
