Better late than never....
Last Sunday night I realized that I didn't take any before church pics of the kids (before church is way too crazy to do something like that) so we stopped by the beach on the way home from church today. It's still chilly, but I got them to peel their coats off for a few pics, and Adam photo-chopped the runny nose in the pic below. I didn't take many of the girls, just tried to focus on the boys today. When the girls were little we were always taking such great pics of them in fields of flowers or at the beach, but life gets so crazy these days, I feel like I hardly have any frame worthy pics of the boys. And they're growing up WAY to fast, so I'm going to try harder.

Adam and I worked all day yesterday putting up crown molding in the yellow room/dining room. (I have to specify rooms by colors now that I switched them around to avoid confusion) It was pretty mind boggling for a little while till we got the hang of it. We had a huge mess when we got done--scraps and saw dust everywhere, and then the MESS the kids created while they babysat themselves all day. I think we cleaned up for a good 2 hours when we got done! It was worth it though, I was AMAZED at how good they turned out. Seriously, when we were milling the wood earlier on in the week, I completely had my doubts, it was a little scary, but by the time we got them sanded, painted, and up, it all came together and I love it!! One day we'll get done w/this old house. Probably the day before that for sale sign goes up. Oh, and I installed blinds in 3 windows ALL by myself on Saturday also. So proud of myself on that!! Only 16 more to go! So happy w/how they look though, HUGE improvement, not to mention the privacy is kinda nice!! Pics to follow . . .
