We did have a great weekend, too. We were very busy. Zack has been making a list of things that needed to be done around the house and I had a stack of things, too. We actually started on New's Years Day. We decided to give MC and SB the boy's bunk beds and Taylor their queen size bed. So we did that which prompted a MAJOR cleaning job in the boys room. His room is awesome now. Lots of room, really cool things on the walls. I love it and he does, too. It is amazing how much easier it is to have just one person in a room. We haven't had that in 15 years.....well, almost 13, I guess.

We also, hung some things in MC and SB's room. We took a large frame that I got last year at Hobby Lobby for $5-6 and just hung it directly on the wall. Then, using straight pins, we hung MC's earrings and necklaces on the inside of the frame. It looks like art and is very organized. Plus, she can see everything she has, and is more likely to wear it. Love it!! The bunk beds really free up the space in their room, too.

We replaced light bulbs that are a real pain to replace, repaired doors, installed door knobs on closets and the upstairs bath that never got one! We touched up paint, and moved furniture around in Emma and Lily's room. I was so tired of that room looking like a yucky play room. We brought in some shelves we had out in the office and went through ALL our books to condense them down to 4 shelves (plus a few in Taylor's room and a few in MC and SB's) Their room is not finished....should be in there now.....but it is looking much improved.

I love when Zack and I work hard together. That is one of my favorite feelings ever. Should do things to keep this going. Work with him on my other goals, especially finances.
