What I Have Been Up To......

It has been quite busy here. I am trying to finish up some projects that have taken way to long to start. Melissa at The Inspired Room is having a Procrastinator Party today so I decided to link up for the first time and join! Here is what I have been up to....



Before:

An awful laundry closet. We had to turn the dryer sideways to open the door!!! And this was across from the pantry *which is under construction =;)* so this area was impossible to manuever.









After: A spacious mudroom. I still need to craft a bench cushion and add more baskets but overall I am very happy!

We had the washer and dryer relocated in the house so I could repurpose this room as a mudroom. It took a weekend to construct and another weekend to caulk and paint overall not too long. With fve kids and tons of coats, etc..we needed the space!

Here is a sneak peek at what I am currently working on:

More to come!

More Seasonal Fun

The little girls and I went on their class trip today. The weather started out abit wet but soon the sun came out. We had a great time. The farm we visited is very charming. They have a little tour of the farm as well as some educational lessons for the kids. The girls learned about growing fruits and vegetables and then got to each pick their own apple and pumpkin. I got to see a friend and fellow blogger Clear Pink. I had a great time catching up with her. We wrapped up our trip with a visit to the farm store where we proceeded to stock up on candy corn, candy pumpkins and apple cider. We were also lucky enough to snap up some of the last apple cider doughnuts! Have a great weekend!

Number Five Turns Two

We celebrated Baby S's two year old birthday. I can't believe how fast my youngest is growing.

It seemed like yesterday she entered the world like this:



And this weekend:

First Day of School: Round Three

Enough said.

First Day of School: Round Two

The little girls started preschool today. Sweet K. is in the pre-K 4 and Scooter is in the 3's. Everything went well. Except that Scooter is adjusting and is alittle anxious today. Which means she spent the whole half hour we were in the food store (picking out treats for her class), screaming for God knows what reason. I don't like to be the parent to bring screaming children anywhere but I honestly did not see this coming. I have a list of things to do and I'm sorry if I "ruined" any other shoppers of their "quiet" grocery store trip, but I have to get these things done. C'est la vie!
