Family Rules

It is definitely not perfect, but we are very pleased with it and enjoy having our rules up. I am sure there will be rules added and a new version created with milder colors when we move. For now it does the job.

Spring Cleaning

This is the first year we have taken part in spring cleaning. I am purging the entire apartment. Well, I am making piles of goodwill, dump, and so on while Steve is going through the exercise of actually moving everything out. This is really hard work considering it hasn't been done this thoroughly in five years. It was probably not the smartest idea to start this project during the week, but it will be worth it when we are done. Sydney has been such a big helper too. I keep trying to throw ecerything out and she keeps falling in love with "new" objects. So we compromised and she is getting to keep this mat.



At least until her play mat gets here...
We are rewarding ourselves by creating a grownup room. The rest of our place is kid friendly and overtaken by toys. By next week Steve will have his podcasting studio and I will finally have my wii room!

Weekend off

After a very hectic March, I actually had a weekend off. I had great intentions of rest and cleaning. Instead, I ended up playing, watching Netflix, grocery shopping, cooking, and then working on our family rules. I sent out to the craft store for round cake pans. Since I am not artsy or crafty this should not have been an issue. This is what I came home with



I found the items on sale and figured I should give the project a shot. So far we have come up with this



(they are just laid out on the floor and are not attached to each other yet)

We will be going back this week for the frame that is on sale 50% off, and on top of that we have a 40% off coupon. This brings the 24"x36" frame down to a steal. Let's just hope when we go back for the frame I am not sucked into another project!

I  weekends

Steve made it home safe and sound today. In fact he and Sydney beat me home by about ten minutes. They laughed and played while I finished up dinner. I am so thankful to have him back.

Friday nights are always fun around here. We don't do much, but everyone is so happy and relaxed that we get a couple of days together...even if I still have to work.

Do you have any weekend plans?
