Random thoughts

-K- so I know that I haven't posted in a while, but I am now so I will try to update you on what we are doing. We finally got the bathroom painted. Yeah! It is a green with blue under tones anyway. I love the way it turned out. The technically color is greenbriar, but I don't think you can tell what it would look like by the name.

Chip got a really bad sunburn. (Like the first in his life.) Ouch I feel sorry for him. It peeled and everything. Anyway that is starting to go away finally.


Cadance had a piano recital. She did great. (Way to go Cadance! I am so proud of you.) She played, "The Birch Canoe" a real classic. Ha ha. I think that Jason (my brother) may have played it for one of his recitals a zillion years ago.

We are getting new renters and they don't want the extra room so we are going to knock out the wall in the kitchen where there is still a stairway and we are going to have a family/play room. We are so excited for the extra room and hopefully it will help us to keep the living room and the kitchen cleaned up better. It also means that we will have another bathroom. Hmmm that means that we will have as many bathrooms as bedroom. Kind of goofy but oh well.

We got a new(used) refridgerator. Which means that we get to dump the old one. It wasn't working well and starting leaking water all over. It was never super great for keeping the food real cold, but it has been especially bad lately. When we moved it there was also a burn mark on the floor where it had gotten to hot. Yikes! You know that the fridge isn't going to work real well when someone else had pasted a thermometer on the inside so they could watch to make sure it was working, and the temperature is set on the coldest setting. Anyway, it was ancient. But the new one has water and ice in the door and everything and it is only 4 years old.

New Carpet!

Yea! Chip is done with another semester of school. (sigh of relief) We had a rough finals week with our landlord pulling new carpet in. We basically had to move out of the bedrooms and then move back in. The carpet looks great. We love it!! But it would have been better to do it another week. We also painted two of the bedrooms. I took down a crayon border in the girls room (that took forever) and we painted it white, and we painted Connor's room a brownish beige. Both look 100% better. It is amazing what a coat of paint and new carpet can do for a room. We are going to paint one of the bathrooms also but we haven't done it yet. (Hopefully later this week)
