Little Mama on the Prairie: It is Finished!

OK, so I've been complaining about my acres of deck that I have been working on for 3 strait weekends in a row and I'm proud to announce it is done. Staining done, check! Stairs next!

Yes, we have lived in our house without front steps for 16 months now. So what!

That's how we roll..... our "crib" is a fortress.

Which does come in handy for all of the solicitors that we have been getting......he he he. Anyways, no one can get in unless you hop 4 feet onto the porch or just happen to get lucky and find the garage door open. Even with the garage door open it doesn't mean you will get to come in to our home. Because when you knock on the door coming into the house from the garage it probably will not be heard, as it comes into the laundry room and.....well with three small children our washer and dryer are always running and I just can't hear you knock over the unbalanced washing machine banging against the wall. That is the truth!

Well, with the deck now done, I feel I can allow myself to move onto my other projects, such as painting a couple of dressers and working on my family room. Pictures to come of that.

I had a fun time capturing my joy this week. We worked on capturing our routines, and although I didn't photograph my every routine, such as what I look like first thing in the morning...sorry those pictures are already burned in my children's heads, they don't need to have that documented forever. I did shoot some time during our days that I think will be interesting to look back on some day....folding laundry, cooking dinner, and so on. Those are the things that I want to look back on and remember.
