What We've Been Up To

Last week I lived at my sister's house for a few days while Jason was in Washington DC for a business trip. I love to stay out there when he goes away. With only one kid right now, it is still doable! :)

Kate and I spent over 8 hours last Tuesday sorting, organizing and rearranging her storage room. She hated it. I was in heaven! I forgot to take "before" pictures. But, just picture this area very crammed with plastic totes. Her storage room is also her exercise room and her card-making room. So, we made it look like this:Though Kate hated the process, she is LOVING the end result. Here is her new, much expanded crafting/card-making area.

The most fun part was utilizing this shelf Mark bought from Craigslist. It is such a fun shelf and perfect for Kate's crafty stuff.Our next favorite area is the new gift wrapping center. Mark hung a wire for us to use for ribbon (I can't wait to do this somewhere in my house, too).Moving on . . . .

This past Saturday was Jessie Wheeler's graduation party. Kate and I got to help decorate the day before and then serve food at her party. It was a ton of fun. I can't believe she is graduating. I started babysitting her when she was just a little girl!And here is a shot of the whole Wheeler fam. I could do an entire blog post on this family - how amazing they are, how indebited my life is to them and how much I love them . . . but not now!To end the weekend, my mom gave Abram his first official hair cut. I trimmed his hair a little over his ears a couple months ago, but he was needing the full hair cut this time. He hated every minute of it. Mom kept wanting to quit because she couldn't stand him crying, but I made her finish so we could get it over with!A little time on Grammy's lap and he was a happy camper with a cute new hair cut!
