#6 Part 4

"Love is love, Sara. Gender is merely spare parts."

#31

Today, I decided to check something off the list. I thought I'd go for the "Fun Room" since it's been mostly clean and I just needed to move stuff around. We still have WAY too much stuff in our house, but putting it up on shelves and getting it off the floor made it look a lot better. We also moved the furniture from in front of the big window to let in more light and open up the room.

It's been a while since I've updated this, so let's see where we are!!!

Finally finished reading "Inkdeath"! I loved it. It was a great ending to a wonderful series.

Finally got this awesome sewing machine! It's a Bernina with a lot of fancy stitches. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far!!! Here are some things I made this weekend.

We cleared out a space for a dining room table last summer, and finally found one that works! It's a little bit messy right now since we're trying to get stuff out of the house and into the shed.

We got a new car! Lars was obsessed with the Cube so we went to look at one and I didn't hate it. It's actually a pretty cool car.

I don't have a picture for the last one, but I did get a grown up job! Yay!

Finally posting this part! When we had our second child, we needed a third bedroom. We took the horribly messy landing, cleaned it out, got rid of a bunch of stuff and turned it into an adorable nursery! 

#34, #41, #68, #70

#34 We decided to redo the living room. We were tired of having everything stuck in the same place. I moved quite a bit around, cleaned the carpet, and even took a shelf off the wall to clear a corner. We need to paint, but we'll get there soon. Moving stuff opened it up and now there's more room for the little ones to play. 

#41 We also got some new curtains! They're plain, but I like them a lot. 

#68 My in-laws took the whole family on a cruise over spring break. We left from San Diego and stopped in Cabo and Ensenada. It was great to get to spend time with family in such a relaxing atmosphere. 

#70 While in Ensenada we went to a private beach for a bit. It was the first time some of the kids had ever been to a beach. Even though it was far too cold, everyone had a great time.

#9 and things to brag about :-)

Finished "Inkspell"! GREAT BOOK! I absolutely loved it! I'm looking forward to reading "Inkdeath", but it's not out in paperback yet and I don't want to spend the money on it. I needed something to read until I get to "Inkdeath" so I started "The Golden Compass". 

The other night I made this beautiful cup of tea. I had to take a picture because it turned out so pretty!

The other night I made a pot roast. It turned out lovely so I had to take a picture. It was pretty tasty, too!

This pattern is from the book "Get Your Crochet On" by Afya Ibomu.

#78 part 1 and What I Did Today

I decided to make a record of the things I get done during the day. I rarely feel accomplished at the end of the day, so hopefully this will help! First of all, I tried a new recipe. I made mini coffee cakes. They taste a lot better than they look!

I also got some general housework done. Cleaned up the living room and got the dishes done!

I got a new crochet book recently and needed to give it a shot. "Get Your Crochet On! Hip Hats and Cool Caps" by Afya Ibomu. Here is one of the hats I made. I really enjoy the patterns, but they don't quite work for me so I'm taking notes and will be making a few changes and trying again.

The last picture doesn't look very impressive, but it is. This door has not closed for quite some time. I finally got sick of it and fixed the latch! Yay!
