Remember the post we did on Color?

O.k.

Now is the time to check out what your color pick says about you. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the pictures that you sent along with your descriptions of why you chose a particular color. What surprised me was the number of people, out of this group, who chose a form of blue. Almost everyone.

Check out the "color" website and then let us know what you think about it. I was surprised at how most of it was pretty accurate for me. But I'd love to hear what you all think of it and if you think it was accurate with you or not. Just something fun to do.

Some Days...

I guess I need to start back a couple of days ago. I had everyone running around the house gathering trash for the truck that was coming soon. So as Kaitlyn leaned over the kitchen trash bag (you know the lawn size bags) I notice that there is a large pie slice piece missing out of the rim of the ceramic bathroom trash can that I had looked all over Hades for. So I quite angrily started in on who, how and why. Only to be told by anyone and everyone who has ever used that bathroom, that "I don't know" did it. I went absolutely ballistic. After calming myself down, I walked downstairs and completely stripped the bathroom of all the pretties. Now none of them have to concern themselves with worry about something being destroyed and not knowing WHO is responsible. Yes, I do feel better and my intention is to use the pretties in my own bathroom.

From this came a cleaning frenzy the likes that this house has never seen.


Olivia and Jolie's room was littered with garbage that they insisted they would perish without. So I gave them an ultimatum. You clean it or I'll clean it. 1 day later their room is spotless and they have a lot to be proud of with their hard work. They did a great job!

Kristina's room is your typical teen room. Just without the clutter. I'm so proud of her for getting this accomplished, without Mom having to froth at the mouth and threatened to do it myself. Hooray Kristina!

Yes, she likes fans, lanterns and dream catchers.

For what ever reason this group feels that our basement is theirs to trash and destroy with their crap. So in all this frenzy of elimination they also had the privilege of cleaning the poolroom and common areas. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did taking them. May I present my CLEAN basement.

Now we have the possibility of a Albuquerque low hitting us this evening and for the next few days. So if I were to tell the future...... and I were to look in my crystal ball.... I think I'd see a lot more cleaning for our home.

Just another day.......right?

Anticipation...
Satisfaction...
My boys faces just tell it all! They couldn't wait for Dad to blow out those candles.

Kristina out did herself again with this birthday cake for her daddy. The bottom held a Quiche dish size chocolate chip cookie. Above was a German Chocolate Cake with Vanilla AND Butter Coconut Icing. Only to be topped with shredded coconut, pecans and chunks of chocolate. A chocolate lovers dream.
We've been at cleaning all morning and most of yesterday. The common areas in the basement are clutter free and clean. Such an enjoyable experience to walk down there now. I'm concentrating my efforts on the little girls room. They are of the mind to set up their beds into bunks again. O.k. with me. I'm of the mind to de-clutter and organize their room. Throw out what I consider to be trash, (the whining you can only imagine), and give them the most for their space needs. The boys are loving listening to all the whining and are even attempting some of it themselves as teasing for the girls. The jokes on these guys! They're next!!! HAHAHAHA!


Here is the latest addition to my bag of "in progress" pieces. I absolutely love the colors in this piece and of course I can't seem to capture with the camera their beauty. Two shades of red, accented with a gorgeous blue and a unbelievably deep purple. I'm considering starting another piece in the next few days. All of these projects are beautiful, but very repetitious. I'm enjoying having the availability of different stitches in the different projects.
