more fun...

I got to babysit my grand baby, Avery, and was trusted to give her a bath! It was fun, and she was so good. She is such a good little girl. We get to see her fairly often. Boy, does it bring back the memories of being a mom with a baby. It's a lot of hard work!!

fun

Craft night at the Boyce's was fun. Ashley (Scott's Ashley) and Tiffany, (David Fackrell's wife) came over and made some fun wooden words.

Oh look, here are Ashley and Scott right now...so how do you like your wooden words, Ashley?

BRRRRR!

Baby its cold outside. We got about 4-5" of snow last night. Poor Oscar has been shoveling snow for 3 days. And did you know that some people just can't drive in the snow? I'm glad I grew up learning to drive in the snow. I have a lot of funny memories trying to get up our steep hill in Pullman and pulling in to our drive way and sliding into the junipers, or sliding all the way back down the hill. Now we live on a very flat street.

Guest room...come and stay!

I wanted to fiddle with painting plaid walls, and a color other than blue, since my whole house is blue...so I chose apple green. This is a guest room I did a while back. It was fun, but the taping and leveling of the plaid was difficult to do as one person. (I now know why I always wanted a twin....oh, I have one...((Oscar)) ...hahaha). But I digress. So, I held the blue tape in one hand and the level in the other hand and used my head and teeth to get it all to stay on the wall at the same time. I also had to use some of that math that I thought I would never use after High School. But you'll be proud of me; the curtains are twin sheets that were $3 each at Walmart!! Now THAT math I like! I could never buy that much fabric for $3. I'd like to tweek it a little, maybe add a shelf or something on the big wall, and I am trying VERY hard not to sneek something blue in there! Therapy anyone??
