PROJECTS

As I was walking on the trail to Matthew's baseball practice, I bumped into our friend Tom.  We always joke about how Tom and his family are our "winter" skiing friends and then joke about how we can be summer friends as well.  We chatted about what is going on now that the snow has melted for the season.  We both commented on the few projects we've each accomplished over the last couple of weeks. 

When you break it down, fall is super busy ... start of school and football season.  That slides right into the holidays.  Which then blends right into ski season.  Ski season pretty much lasts until the end of March.  If I counted correctly, that equals 7 months.  Jumping ahead, in June school is winding down.  Who has time for anything during the July and August summer months?  That leaves just April and May to get anything done!

So sister, you asked what is happening at my house.  Here is what is going on and I only have two months to complete it all!  Mudroom project is almost done {painted, just need to buy a light fixture}.  Need to buy and plant some trees as part of a landscaping plan {slated for next weekend}.  Would like to freshen up throw pillows on the first floor {just haven't found the right ones yet}.  Would really love to paint more of the house but that is a huge undertaking.  Makes more sense to hire someone?  Hmm.  And last but not least, I need to clean out and organize some piles.  My biggest nemesis. 

Speaking of projects, our fave outdoor flea market is next weekend!!!  Can you go???  You never know what redecorating items you might find.
