let the renovations begin

Well, minor renos, painting! We started with our bedroom, the master, the play room, whatever you want to call it, it hasn't been painted for over 12 yrs. Sad, really sad. But we put the needs of our family first and focused on the kids rooms. They look lovely, now it is time to spice up, or spruce up the momma and papa's room!! I can't wait to see the results. We are trying to live in it while we paint, so that makes it fun! Two walls at a time!! We are also expecting a new bed to arrive anyday now, so that will make it even more funner!! Is funner even a word, well, it is today! I will post some pictures soon, I took before ones, and I will take after ones, and post them all together I think, in one post.

We had some overnight guests on the weekend, and enjoyed the visiting! I enjoy having people over, even if I stress a bit during the week with cleaning, and figuring out what to make for meals, I have fun! We had homemade stew and biscuits for supper on Saturday, and Sunday morning before church, I made for the first time (and not the last), quiche! It turned out really good, and everyone loved them (except of course my picky eaters)!

Well, spring came and went!! Seriously, on March 20th, it was officially spring, and what a beautiful few melting days we had....and then winter had to come back, and it hasn't left. Seriously, anytime Spring, winter has been harsh to us, and we need you!! Temperatures have been hovering around the -10 mark for the last few days. With wind and snow, and the meltings of last week, it's a mess out there, alot of ICE under all that fresh snow. It could be worse I guess, we could live in Nova Scotia....

We are looking forward to a little get-a-way soon! To celebrate some birthdays! We stayed at a hotel in Medicine Hat a few yrs back, and Breanna just loved the water slide, it is great for little kids! So we are going to go back and just have a break for a few days! It will be nice!

I hope to share some pictures soon!
