Picture Day

So today is picture day at Manila Elementary. A few observations:

*It's the only day of the year I can guarantee that not one student comes to school with bed head. Believe me - I've seen some doozies.
*All of the girls have to go into the bathroom to apply lipgloss and do a hair fluff at the same time.
*The boys are mostly embarassed that their moms made them wear their hair all slick.
*I get a full-on 8x10 of my own face. This will be my 8th one. What on earth am I supposed to do with all of those?

It's also not nice when the picture lady says, "I can tell that you don't like to have your picture taken." That can't be a good sign, can it?

I'll let you know how mine turns out. :)

More Progress

Soon I will be all done with my scrapbook room and my front room. I have ordered at least six different fabrics and am currently sewing my guts out! Well, my mother-in-law is sewing her guts out...
Anyway, here are the two rooms that will soon be done.

I wish I had interesting things to blog about. I think there are about six of you who even look at this, so I'm not sure what to say...I can talk about: school, 10-year-old behaviors, Australian shepherds, my love of Clorox wipes, Brian, TurboKick, and scrapbooking. Sometimes I think that's just not interesting to you people. Any ideas?

Proud of me

For the past several weeks our garage has been out of commission because this giant piece of furniture was taking up the space. We finally completed the project of refinishing our tv cabinet from the front room. It was just plain wood with no finish (sorry, no before picture) and we painted it white and antiqued it. We like how it's turned out. There are still some things to do to complete the room, so we'll wait to send the completed picture for later. For now, just be proud of me.
