Odds and ends...

Well, I made Jade a bag for school cause she needs one being a high school senior/college freshman... She wanted one that would go over her shoulder... she likes it, with the cool funky pocket full of new sharpies that I know she's going to use to draw all over the bag to make it her own...

We also went to our friend Michelle's house last weekend, Jeromy was building a pantry for her. Laura and Jason came over and Jason jumped right in to help Jeromy... thank you so much cause I was not looking forward to lifting sheet rock!!! Next Jeromy will be mudding/texturing it, adding 3 doors to the opening, and then eventually getting a new floor put in. Until it gets painted, we all had fun temporarily drawing / painting on the wall....

Julia painting...Also Jeromy has been working at the fair for the last few days with our church spreading the Word. Jade and Kent went with him one day but Jade's memory card got switched with her friends and until we switch them back those pictures are held captive!!

Today I wanted to tackle cleaning our room... there was alot to be done... I probably shouldn't post these pictures, but I have no shame, and you people need a laugh... here's the before... go ahead and laugh...

My vacuum was smelling hot, so I thought I'd take a look under the hood... and no wonder!!!I should be bald with how much hair I cut out of this thing...Well, about 4 hours later, after pledging shelves and all the wood, windexing all the pictures and mirrors, getting cobwebs out of the ceiling, getting rid of a ton of clothes I'll never wear, loads of laundry including the sheets, vacuuming.... it is finished.... (wipe tear from your eye mom lol!)So that's all for now. Time to to go have some dinner, and then we're all headed to Barnes N Noble and some coffee... mmmmm, we have such a good life, I need to remember that when I have to go to work. God gives us so much, I need to learn to not complain.... this is an ongoing process...

Take care!
