I feel really blessed with all I accomplished yesterday while at home with ds. Grandma took him to the chiropractor in the morning which allowed me to work on the dishes and toys then when he got back it was time for his nap so I got a couple more hours to finish putting away straggling holiday decorations and repack our holiday lights adding in the new ones we purchased this year. They're all ready to be put out in the shed this weekend. I got the file cabinet in the kitchen and am starting to plan out the kitchen desk. I really want to get the final design done this weekend and get the supplies/order the counter monday. We need to get that finished in order to get my organizer back over here so we can finish up the filing which had been moved to the garage for the holidays.
My friend Sarah and I are going to the Container Store on Saturday so I can pick up some more containers for storage of toys and stuff. Ack!! I definitely have spent alot of money on stuff after the holidays this year. I found some great toy deals for ds's birthday and even next xmas.
I'm off to work today and I'm confident that I will be able to focus on work and not what I need to do at home, which is what usually happens then when i'm at home i'm all concerned with what i need to accomplish at work...ARGHH what a cycle. I can usually do good at work when I know i'm in a good place at home and haven't left anything undone and the house isn't a complete disaster.
Anywhoo...hugs everyone!!!

Well it is more like awesome news!! The truck has sold!!!! We're soo blessed and thankful for God finding us the right buyer for the truck. We now have the $$ in the bank not in the driveway. We're happy to get moving forward on taking care of other needs and wants.
Thanks for believing with us!!!
My sister has been doing coupons lately and getting tons of stuff free which has been a big benefit to our family and friends. So she had a bunch of coupons for huggies products so we went shopping. Had to do a few transactions at a couple different stores but all of the items in this picture were free!!! Yippie...that really helps our budget & pocket book.
Not sure if this is surprising or not...I saw this on my friend Jane's Facebook profile.
What Kind of Drink Are You? | |
 | You are a Juice Box. Some say you're no fun, but you know better than to waste your time drinking. Not only does alcohol cut down on time better spent being productive, studies show it can have an adverse effect on your long-term health. You have plenty of friends, but you don't get invited to the coolest parties. Sometimes you might wish you weren't so different, but other times you consider yourself better than the rest. |

Well happy new year to all!!! I enjoyed my day off working on DS's play table. I got the holes filled, primed it and put one coat of semi-gloss on it. Still looks like it needs minimum of one more coat of paint...but i'm really thinking it will be 2 coats.
Jack still loves the table alot...he goes straight to it with his cars and little people. We got out his little people airport and he played with it for atleast an hour.
I'll take more pictures once I finish painting.

As you know we started a home organization process and have been purging lots of unnecessary STUFF. In that process we rearranged the living/dining room in our home. We've made more room for Jack's play area and consolidated the furniture to make a more cozy living room area.
I wanted to get a train table (you know the ones that are everywhere right now) but I wanted something more built in and something that would be more than just a train table. So I came up with a design to put a table all across the back wall in the dining room area. We had one design in mind going to home depot but while DH, my dad, and I were there shopping we changed the design and simplified it and we bought all the materials. Plywood, decorative molding and fence posts for table legs, etc.
Well we had thought we'd work on it on Saturday but the day went by too fast and we spend alot of time at Home Depot and then had a family dinner later that evening. So we said Sunday. We ended up playing games with some friends from fellowship after fellowship was over until about 5:15. Thankfully I was able to convince dh that we needed to start it tonight so we could finish up painting it on Tuesday when we both had the day off. We got all the construction done in less than 4 hours. The next step is to fill in all the nail and screw holes and then Paint Paint Paint!!
So here is the before picture:
and here is the after photo from tonight (we just finished at 10:15pm)
I don't think these pictures do it justice. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out!!! I can't wait to get it painted and put all his toys on there so he can play with his little people and his puzzles and legos there is room for storage under there too. Then he can invite some little friends over to really test it out!!!
I'll post more pictures once we get it painted.
