Roses from our backyard

kids bathroom & Mr I's room

This is a small peak into the kids small bathroom. Rubber ducky theme, of course. It's not done, but on my list to finally knock out ASAP.


Curtains I finally got around to making to replace the 23+ year old mini-blinds that grossed me out.

Update on projects

Hall closet into a pantry & the pantry into baking storage. We got a fancy "Pantry" door to put up.

Wasted space under the stairs turned into a storage bin for toys & shoes. Just realized I loaded the wrong picture. There is a handle on it to pull it in & out.

The park has been moved to our backyard...

Mr Pilot & Mr Independent spent a few days building this before Mr Pilot left for school. As all the other projects going on, this one, too is not complete, but is use-able. Which, honestly, is more than I expected for the time frame. I found the slide, monkey bars, swings (minus baby swing) off of freecycle.com. All we had to do was buy wood. I could have taken the original wood but some of it was rotten. Best to just start over. To the right there is a deck & a sand box. On the other side there is a fireman pole. Also on that side will be a rock wall (pieces also off freecycle). The metal ladder is temporary until a wooden one is built. The bottom part is a "house" for Princess - all though Mr Independent has already stated that it will have a bathroom, fireplace, 2 Christmas trees, & his sleeping bag in there. The top part is his fort.

Downstairs floors

Are finally done! Mr Pilot finished them up shortly after Thanksgiving. We are still in the process of moving furniture around between the rooms figuring out where we like things best. Baseboards still need to be installed, too. When we figure all that out I will take a better picture.
