roller coaster

the last 3 weeks have been nuts!

we replaced everyone's mattresses. we replace everyone's pillows, we replaced my broken mixer, we replace my outdated (but still functional) blender, we repaired my sewing machine and i got a sewing surface extender. i got fabric for michael's christmas blanket, we got everyone halloween costumes.

for almost 2 weeks, we ran constantly. we've been to idaho falls 5 or 6 times this month. it seems like we haven't been able to get anything done cause we are always doing something away from home. things seem to have finally slowed down a little bit, and we are now home most of the time.

we started working on the kitchen cabinets. it's going to be a long process, and out plans have changed a few times, but we are so excited to finish it. the boxes and sides of the doors are going to be blue, and the fronts and backs of  the doors are going to be the natural wood! it's amazing how much the natural wood matches the counter tops!

we finally had a full day to put towards school as well. now if i can only convince the kids to actually do the work, instead of "pretending!" as we're still in a learning process and figuring out how things work the best for us, i'm not entirely surprised we still have a few bad days here and there!
