The carpet is in upstairs. I bought a couch off craig's list that Josh pretends to hate. Pending some kind of ottoman or end table thing, that room can be crossed off as done. (mind you, we're just talking about the master -- not the bath or closets).
Natalie LOVES her new school. She's played with the same girl for the last 3 days, so that's promising. Plus, she's ofically registered for Kindergarten next year.
The new lighting in the kitchen looks great. Now we need a back splash tiled in.
We bought the girls bedroom set today. Their new bedding came in a few days ago and the matching valance was an eBay find. With some trim paint their room will be crossed off as well. (Closet included this time!)
The hardwoods for the office are still about 2 weeks away. I think they're coming by rowboat from Thailand.
The guest room is painted, trim and all.
Still not sure what to do about a breakfast table.
I really want to clean light fixtures for my next "to do."
Made the Tree House the meeting place in case of fire and installed a smoke detector on the girls' of the house. Natalie said she'd be sure to wear her socks and shoes when she went outside, should it go off. Hard to replace on important lesson with another when you're five.
I can not express how much I love being able to drop the kids off at Grandma's house. Or have my dad show up over here with extra tools and a willing hand. Or meeting my brother for lunch. Or having my mom come over just to come over.
It is so good to be HOME!
