I saw this today.
We were supposed to leave for our spring break trip this afternoon and 2 of my younger children decided to puke.
Really?
Oh yeah.
It's been a slow moving flu through the house but this was a completely different virus.
Vomit, dry heaving, lots of shouts clamoring for MOM and BOWLS!
I NEED a bowl!
So, we won't be leaving.
Phoenix will be waiting but I'm bummed.
Let's face it, my road trips alone with the kids
always need more preparing excitement.

Okay, so let's get on with what little progress we have made this past month!
 |
| Nailed it. |
 |
| If I think hard enough maybe I can will myself a job that is closer to my family and finish this house. |
 |
| Beautiful craftsman style trim. |
 |
| Door Frame built This detail in a door frame is called a "reveal". Sounds like a magic trick...I unveil the....REVEAL! oohs and ahs ensue. |
Oh look! A new mound of dirt?
We have to upgrade our septic tank.
Got it Boulder County!
That's rule # hundred something.
All taped off for painting.
We just use the generic decorator white gloss trim paint from
Home Depot. Call me anytime for paint tips. Really!
Every project needs a little motivation.
I ate a whole bag of jelly beans.
And maybe a Reese's peanut butter egg.
This is a rough time of year for me at Target,
or any store for that matter.
Dang you Reese's!
They really helped us last weekend.
I did play some catch with Chester while I took a break from the jelly beans work.
In the process, a spiders egg must have hatched, it was like Arachnophobia out in the far end of our yard.
So much nature.

| I just had to put this in. Seriously, does she not always have the perfect lines? |
Took the paper and tape down. This is the front room in the apartment.
Wall color is "Classic Grey" by Benjamin Moore.
How's that for obvious?
I am positive there are a million gray paints out there.
We are so close to squishing in this space to rip up our house.
 |
| Where does this bunny think he is? The Ritz? Over the weekend I noticed some stretched out bunnies in the yard. All the debris has given them some nice homes. Not for long wabbits. |
We spent Sunday afternoon with our neighbors.
Thank you for the cake!
And conversation.
And for all the little things you do for my family.
I dabbled in some chalkboard art last week for our young women in our church congregation.
Snow world turned into Mud World.

And Lucy played a guy in Guys and Dolls.
As for leaving for our trip, I will have to wait.
Where are you all going? I would really love to hear!
In the meantime, I spotted this tiny patch of purple flowers on the front grass today while I got the mail.
Come on spring!
I'm begging for mercy here.
