Closets

We organized our closets this weekend. Jayd put in hanging racks in our room where we had the attic steps. We are not going to use the attic anymore so what a perfect place for a closet. I have all my clothes in there so now Cameron and Jayd share a closet. We also redid the closet in the hallway upstairs so that is now a linen closet. Now I can see what I actually have! I didn't realize how many towels we have........LOL

Also had the company party Saturday night. Was a good time we bowled first then went to eat and had a game show Deal or No Deal.

Weekend Progress

We (Jayd) got the crown put up on the colonnades. It looks excellent. He also started putting the woodwork back up around the upstairs windows. We need to patch a little bit around the windows were the plaster fell off and repaint the woodwork. That will be a winter project at least now I have my blinds up again.

Sorry

Last B-day party was in 04' last time Katie and Sonny were down. We didnt have a party 05' or 06'. Sometime I will have to post all the old party pix on here.

That time of year again




We had the big birthday bash Saturday night. Lot of fun. Friends from Alaska were down. Havent seen them since 05' so that was nice. The only year there wasnt a party was 06' so it was nice to get back into it. As of tonight all the outside work will be done. Windows all patched in, installed and painted and patches all painted. Now we get to work on the inside. I am so excited to see what it is like to have trim around the windows downstairs. That hasnet been since we moved in, almost 5 years ago.
