Time and Focus...

It is amazing what can be done with a little time and focus. Dave was lucky enough to have both Friday and Monday off - which made for a good chunk of family time. I had already scheduled the girls to be at their babysitters on Friday, so we had a day without them. What did we do??? We (mostly Dave) painted the dining room RED! And, not only did we start the project, but we finished it, moved the furniture back and hung wall coverings. That is the best part!! We often start projects and things get derailed and crazy, but this time it was finished!

We also spent the 4 days assembling the lawnmower, mowing the lawn, putting away the snow blower, taking the bikes in for a tune-up, and there was even time for entertaining and attending parties. The girls enjoyed a lot of time in the yard. They love their sandbox and water table. And, Buddy the Dog, loves to run like a mad man in the yard. He is managing to kill plants, dig holes and drive me somewhat crazy!!

Ooo, I bet the dining room looks great red! How fantastic to start and finish a project. I know what you mean, we have projects we started months and months ago that are just now starting to find an ending point. I can imagine you felt so successful!

Sounds like a great weekend, glad you all had such wonderful family time together!
