July Activities

Another month has gone by! I know, I know...I still don't have pictures up. I will continue to try.

We have been working on Bekah's room this week. Her's is the first to get a remodel in the house. We've scraped all the popcorn stuff off the ceiling and put up texture (and I must say that Tim did an excellent job) and are now working on the paint. We've chosen a light purple and then I'm going to paint some big flowers on one wall. Bekah wanted flowers everywhere so we compromised. My lovely neighbor took Paul and Bekah to the movies with her kids so I actually have a quiet house this afternoon.

Paul's birthday party is on Saturday. I can't believe he will be 8. We are having a few family and friends over to celebrate. We went with an easy theme...water and barbecue! Sprinklers and a slip and slide for the kids (and any other water stuff we can find at the house) and and easy barbecue lunch for everyone. Should be fun!

Then next weekend is Tim and my anniversary. Number 12! Don't know what we are going to do yet, except go out to eat. I bought a new dress so I need to go out somewhere decent so I can wear it!

Of course the remodel will continue through the end of the month and into the next. Paul's room is second (we figured to get the easy ones done first). Then maybe the hallway...I don't know. I never realized how much prep work there was. Tape, scrape, texture, sand, dust, prime, paint...good gracious! It should look really nice when it's all finished though.

Oh! The outside of the house finally was finished a couple weeks ago. I didn't like the paint at first but it's grown on me. The horizontal siding makes such a difference. It really looks like a different house. Again, I'll have to get pictures up so everyone can see.

Well, that's all the news for today.
