We've been under construction for the last week. I should say that I'm glad that it only took a week, but there is still work to be done. Painting-who knows when I'll get to that, but probably not until after Thanksgiving. We had a door and a closet put on a room on the first floor so that it can now be used as a bedroom for our guests. Also because for the last three years, I have used this room as a place to stash crap, and I get tired of looking at it. I am so happy to have this room and I hope our guests will like it too. It comes just in time for Grammy's visit which begins Sunday.
Last week was actually unusually quiet-no birthday parties, nothing that kept us running all over the place. We had a GREAT soccer game with T Saturday. I was oh so dissapointed that Daddy was not there to see what an AWESOME job she did. She was in the game for the first time in a long time. Even the coach commented on how well she played. We hosted some guests Saturday evening for dinner. They were great, as were the delicious margaritas they brought for us to taste. Yes, I got the recipe and it is the best--knock your socks off!
This week has been busier. I will be glad to have next week 'off'' from school so there won't be so much running around. This week I started what is to be T's birthday present-a bedroom makeover. I painted the bottom half of the walls a bright pink. It looks great, but I think we need to do a little more in the way of decorative painting. Also to come is a new comforter, lamp, and some curtains. I'll post more as the work continues.
Yesterday, we went to Amy's house for a golf cart ride. J loves this! T, on the other hand, told me she didn't want to do it unless we were getting pizza. We did not. Amy's four year-old son also announced that he was (when asked, "How are you doing?"), "Not Good!". These four year-olds are very funny! They both hung in there during the ride, and a good time was had by all.
Today was a busy day for Thanksgiving parties at the schools. Both schools. Unfortunately, John's work called a last minute meeting so nobody attended J's party (last time all he did was cry anyway), but what a great 'feast' we had at T's school. I asked a friend from J's class to pick him up so T could have my undivided attention. They put on a great spread! The kids even made centerpieces for the tables. It was very nice. The downside....the event was over at noon and T wanted to come home with me. I lost 3 hours of peace and quiet. It was still wonderful to share in this event with her-I'm not sure how much she liked me being there since all she wanted to do was tell me how she wanted to go home with Skylar (her carpool buddy) before the event was even over.
I also took some pictures of the BEAUTIFUL red trees we have here in the neighborhood. It is amazing, since we've had no rain and are in such a severe drought, how beautiful these trees are. Take a look...
Must go do birthday invitations with T. Yes, it is that time already, too.
