Scotts room

This room is not even close to being done. It may never be but thought I would post photos of it anyway. This is the room above the garage. Here it is looking from the open loft area into it. Then from one end of the room to the other.

More of Rays room

this is the reaction of the girls when they saw it for the first time and as they try out the hammock. Sheradia loves to read and write so we made lots of places for her to do that.

Sheradias room

Almost finished we let sheradia see her room that she would be sleeping in tonight. Her room was her birthday gift she has had to wait a long time for. The wicker my mom bought for her all the other is stuff we already had repainted white. and the Bedding and swing and a few other things were gifts from scott and I.

Moving day

Today is moving day. So here is Scott putting together a rather complicated BBQ. And eating pizza in the breakfast area and one of the stair posts scott put in last week.

Bathroom tile

I finished the kids bathroom tile finally! We used natural travertin stone with ceramic to make this pattern. And travertin up and around the shower unit. The first photo is the vanity area and then there will be a door into the toilet/shower part.

things on house

We have been so busy out at the house with lots of little things mostly. The kids rooms and moving boxes every time we go out there. Sheradias room is nearly finished and will post photos after she has seen her surprise. It took a while to install closet systems in all the bedrooms. Scott finished all the trim work. Simple and square I think it looks great ( this is actual my pantry door in the hallway). He also made posts for the stair railing from old barn wood. The one at the top even has an old nail still in it. They look rough but have so many coats of polly they are pretty smooth.

Table

We bought this cheep table set last year. It had grooves in the top that are hard to clean and Scott said he would refinish the top of it for me. So a year latter here he is stinking up the house with sealer.

Bday photos

They played pass the parcel and did a scavenger hunt.

Sheradias Birthday

I picked these 6 kids up from school for her Party. It went well and they had fun. The first photo is them having an after school snack. Then they jumped on the trampoline and then they made and decorated cookies. Sheradia doesn't really care for cake so much so she just wanted to make cookies. The kids thought it was fun!

WOW award

Each month one student from each class is selected for the WOW award and is presented in the months assembly. This month Zephy got it for being an outstanding student. Scott, I and my mom went to cheer her on. She also got to stay and help the principle draw names for other special prizes.

baby sit

We looked after our friends kids while they had a much needed date. Sheradia was thrilled by this and spent most of the night looking after their little boy while also keeping an eye on the two little girls. It made it easy on us and Sheradia just loved it! She wanted to go to their house the next day and babysit again. Zephy asked if they could also bring the new puppy for us to look after. These two were inseparable all night with long walks up on the hill and playing in the back yard and finally some quiet time.

Fire place tile

More tile Rachel and I layed this last week in the corner of the living room where the wood stove will sit. Culture stone (fake rock) will go on the screen behind and Scott put up the old barn wood mantle. Only two more rooms to tile! Yeah! I can't believe how long it takes. Thank goodness for Rach.
