Spring Break

We have lots going on this week. Josh's annual pre-Spring Break trip to the state basketball tournament gives me plenty of time to make a list of the Home Improvements that have been put off during football and basketball season. Here are the projects for the week:

1. Clean carpet - done today
2. Touch up paint - done today
3. Landscaping front yard - this project has been in the works for a year and we are finally getting to it, due to our tax refund. We ordered the plants yesterday and they will be here on Friday. In the meantime, Josh is preparing two pretty big beds in our front yard. He has rented a sodcutter and will be taking out the grass today. Tomorrow he will incorporate the organic matter to make the beds. Hopefully we can start putting the plants in on Friday when they get here. My mom is coming to help take care of Kellen and Bonnie on Saturday so we can finish up. I'll post pictures when it's all done.
4. Wash windows - ??
5. Shop for new flooring - done yesterday
6. massive amounts of laundry due to a family at church passing down LOTS of little boy clothes - done yesterday
7. Finish organizing master bedroom closet - I started this back in January and just need to do a little finishing up
8. Go through kids' clothes; Kellen - did yesterday; Bonnie not yet

Oh, and of course take care of the kids. Kellen is still not back to his normal self. I can tell he just feels bad. He's cranky. Hopefully he'll improve soon. Bonnie is still her sweet self.

I'm thankful for Josh who probably has felt like the hired help these past couple of days!

Erin, you are making me tired. You can see my list of things we have done this week on our blog, inspired by you. Chad's been under the weather so we haven't done much. Hope you get a chance to relax a little bit or go out when mom is in town!
