Getting There

It's Tuesday night--the kids have been gone for 13 nights....and we've accomplished a lot in those almost two weeks. A few nights we haven't worked....but we've tried to get something done each night that we didn't have plans. Actually, now that I count, we've only worked 7 of those nights...so it's been pretty even. I've been busy sorting out things in Kristin's room...but overall, we've been busy! Bill said the kids are never allowed to go away when we are home...because he's had to work so much!

Kristin's room is now finished...except for the curtains that I will make for the closet door area. No doors, just pretty girl curtains! We've totally emptied her room, painted, cleaned her carpets, refinished her woodwork, gutted & revamped her closet, and put everything (well..not everything) back into her room in an orderly fashion! Bill had some great "organizational" ideas, and we have left no room for "stuffing" things under beds, in closets, and into corners. No hiding places left....I will put full pictures on the blog after she's had a chance to see it...we want her to be surprised.

Very nice....good job Bill!

We did tear Ryan's room apart tonight--his closet is empty, patched, and waiting for paint tomorrow morning....so his room is still a disaster--but nothing like it was before when Kristin's entire room was in his room!

The old "organizer" that was way to big & bulky--now in pieces

We hope to accomplish everything before the kids come home on Sunday. Hoping that Mom or someone will have pictures from the last few days. I hope they got some pictures from Cow Country PA! Stay tuned...as soon as I get some, I will post them!
