NEW TWILIGHT TRAILER

Another room updated...

We have a mystery room in our house. I know it was supposed to be the dining room, but that makes no sense because there is a huge eating area attatched to the kitchen...and this room has carpet. SO, I decided to make it my reading/entry/patriotic room. Here's the before and after:


The light they had in this room was SO ugly. We actually had to replace every light in the entire house.

The "H" wall isn't finished. I have a bunch of H's still in Utah that will be on here. Oh, and the lovely cereal bowls with batting and miniature pumpkins are something Mar came up with last night to use as "Christmas Decorations".

Dear Mr. Obama

Marlys' 5th Birthday

Tuesday was Mar's birthday. I wanted it to be so fun, but we were all so sick (everyone but Mar, of course). We opened presents before she went to school, and then my and Ry went to the doctor. On the way home I stopped my Krispy Kreme and picked up some donuts and capri suns and took them to her class for her treat.

Last night we asked where she wanted to go for her birthday dinner and she said McDonalds! I was all for it because I had a fever and the thought of going through a drive-thru was way more appealing than the thought of going to some where to sit. We stopped by the grovery store and bought some medicine and a birthday cake before heading back home.

On Saturday we are having a party in Tennessee for her. Hopefully we'll all feel a lot better!
