Another Project

Well, I am pacing myself on the scrapbook. It is a lot more tedious than I remember and I just haven't been able to force myself to work on it much.

Yesterday I was very productive. I got up first thing and went to the grocery store and the produce stand. I also got busy around the house working on cleaning out the yellow bedroom that has all the pictures and junky things I didn't know what to do with. I fixed the bed with the linens and am working on reattaching the dust ruffle (it's one I had made so it doesn't have the standard piece that goes over the box spring). I need to also hang the curtains in there. So it's coming along nicely and will hopefully be put together in time for Hayden's party on Saturday. (We have lots of relatives coming in and friends also, so I want the house to be as put together as it can be.) I also worked on putting away clothes and washing and things like that. When Dave got home, I grilled 2 pork tenderloins and chicken. We also had mashed potatoes, peas, and fresh corn. Yummy! So we now have enough leftovers to feed an army! I am not cooking anything for the next 2 days so that we can get rid of everything in there!!!

When Hayden took a nap, I worked on this little painting of a monster (from his comforter). I was rather proud of it for how quickly I did it and with very limited paints. The background is actually bluer than it shows in the picture. I had been meaning to do it for some time, but then we moved so unexpectedly I put it on the back burner.


I also fixed Hayden's letters that I had spray painted to match his bed a while back. I got some black ribbon to hang them with and they turned out pretty cute. Maybe I can get a picture of the finished project soon.

Today I have been lazy. I think I wore myself out yesterday. I finished reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for the ??? time, and just basically sat on my butt. Now I need to go to the library tomorrow and get Half-Blood Prince, so I can keep reading here and there. Since Hayden's birthday is coming up this week I have been rather nostalgic and watching a lot of our old videos of him also. It's amazing how with each new age you forget the old one! I am so glad we have the videos to remind us!
