Vacation!

Its been an interesting week. Chris is off this week, and the plan was to get alot of things done. We went up to Vermont to visit Steph and her family on Sunday. Ended up heading back on Monday. Molly got sick... you know, the wonderful 24-hour bug. Gotta love it! I was lucky enough to not get it, thank goodness, but Matthew and Emilie ended up getting it too! So far, no one else. Knock on wood.

So this week, the plan was to finish priming the livingroom walls, and paint them. Sand down our 50 year old butcher block table, and re-stain it. And we did get that done! Well, the sanding part. It took forever! Hopefully we'll be staining it by the weekend. I absolutely love this table! Its been in our family since my Dad was a child, and its so sturdy! Its a long table, since my Dad was the oldest of 7, and has a long bench for one side. And because I'm the only one with a family big enough to use it, I got it! lol It was in really bad shape....the finish was coming off in some spots, and there's quite a few dings and dents in it, but as far as I'm concerned, it gives the table character! lol So, its been a big project but so worth it!

The walls we finished priming last night. We'll be painting them tonight......an oatmeal color. Not half as exciting as the mustard yellow that was on them, but the yellow was getting a little "old", and a little hard on the eyes!

2 weeks till school starts! Yay!! I'm very excited! I'm craving the solitude and schedule, but not looking forward to the 5:30 a.m. wake-up call! Also not looking forward to driving lots of kids to and from school in my big yellow school bus! LOL But I guess I have to give a little to get what I want! lol

Thats all for now..... I had written a post yesterday, but unfortunately Blogger wouldn't let me publish, so I'm back today to try again. Let's hope it works! I have a to-do list a mile long, so I better get started!

Hope everyone has a great end of the week!
