Wow, Hello again!
It's been almost 2 weeks since I posted. I took a vacay the week my brother, his son and girlfriend visited. Here they are enjoying some backyard fun.
It was quite like a vacation. We didn't do any projects. Just hung out. HH had a few days off, too so it was really nice. Now I feel like we've got to get back on track.
I got DS's floor done- the last day of school! So, we were pretty much on schedule with moving him back in his room and getting the living room in order (finally!) It took a day to get everything moved.
Here are some pics of the living room today:
We really enjoyed having room to all sit around and hang out. Plus the kitchen got a bit of a change with the wardrobe becoming the pantry.
Here you can see how the wardrobe fits into the old door (really old window) space. The microwave and oven are working well on this side. I'm still looking to the other side though, to check the time!
I'm trying a new idea for chores this summer. So far, my idea is 2-3 chores/day with one being a weekly chore and one a daily one. Last summer the kids had to get 5 "stars" daily for nice things/chores they did and we'd go to somewhere fun for a reward. Actually, maybe I'll bring that back. It worked really well, the kids were helpful and we got a trip somewhere. It was just hard to keep it up during the school year. Maybe I'll save the 2 chores for the fall....
The kids are still sleeping. I'm gonna go get a cuppa coffee... :-)
