Trying to Finish Well!

We had a sunshine filled Memorial Day Weekend. The kids and I enjoyed the warm weather and played outside most of the weekend. Shane got various tidy up projects done and did school work. Shane did take breaks occassionally to come outside to enjoy the sunshine also. Not a lot going on, the awards ceremony for Awana's is tomorrow night for Kelli & Daniel. Enjoy the pictures

As most of those who read this know I do not do sitting still very well. I know its some ingrained part of me that has to be going or doing something all the time or else I'm asleep. This has always been ongoing and I've learned to deal with the idealness by either quilting (which hasn't been done since Daniel was born), or reading books. I averaged at one time a book per day when pregnant. Know it's about a book every two days if I'm really into the book or I can make on last a week. So the reason for me sitting on my hands is we got the house listed and ready to sell this past weekend. Shane & I don't want to put any more money into it than we already have. SO I'm starting deep cleaning like cupboards, pulling weeds (yuck), you can only sweep you floor so often, and I'm currently caught up on laundry. Also I've packed as many boxes as I need to live on basics alone. My house has never been this clean. Not since we moved in. We get to start m...

I can mostly say that I'm done with projects that have "never been done", "haven't been done since before or after kids", "waiting for spring", are as done as there going to get. My Fred, Marie, & Shane were a great help getting these things done these past two weeks. I now have weekly cleaning catch up, to do. We had a pleasent time with Fred & Marie, hopefully didn't wear them to out. :-) It was great having an adult per child ratio while they were here. Lots of laughs, games, visiting was done. They pulled out of our driveway yesterday and are heading back to Alaska this week Daniel's 4th birthday is this week, still haven't decided what to do. Might be dinner out somewhere special this year since everything is transitional. Hope all the Moms had a wonderful Mothers Day. I did.

Well it's been and interesting two weeks. As many of you know my Grandma Dennis passed away this past week. She was a very special lady, who would watch me when I was sick and couldn't go to school, always have a hug and kiss for me, and like my parents a very stable consitant presence in my life. We are still working on getting the house ready to sell. I think like most people have said "you can always find a project to do". So I'm calling it good once I get the doors finished painting which Shane bless his heart did this weekend. His Mom & Dad were big help keeping Kelli & Daniel from under foot. I also need to reset some of the brick that we pulled up from having the septic pumped last week. I'm also a new owner of a 1999 Dodge Van . (Pictures to come) We have been considering replacing the Pacifica with something bigger for a while, and god kind of just dropped this into our laps. Shane was very considerate and did keep my requirements in mi...
