Projects...

We have so many projects going on right now....

This weekend we are taking the kids to West Virginia. We plan to leave Jude & Elise there for a week. While they are there we are going to rearrange, paint and clean out the bedrooms. Right now Jude & Elise share a room, mainly because Elise likes to sing and talk at bedtime and when we moved to this house Avery was still a baby & it was very disruptive. Basically, Jude could handle it better. But now we are making the big change. Elise & Avery are going to be in a room together and Jude will get to be by himself. The problem is....the smaller room is pink. Jude doesn't like pink (well for a bedroom anyways). I am hoping to transition Avery into the big girl bed during all this as well... It will be the first time my kids actually have "themed" type rooms - you know, actually decorated for a kid.....

I am also going to shampoo the carpet.

Then we have the garden project....it takes a lot of time. I love gardening and I've become a little obsessed. I'll post new pics soon.

I am also going to have a garage sale. Gasp.... I've said I would never have another garage sale again after the last 3 that I have had! But I am going to try again. I am planning and sorting everyday. Hopefully it is a success. The kids want to have a lemonade stand. I told them that would be fun. It could be money for the Wii fund.... I think my sister is going to join in the garage sale fun & possibly some other friends. If anyone local is interested let me know. Oh....also we are looking to borrow some tables. I am going to need 8-10 of them. I will keep you posted on the details. It is going to be a good one. I am going to see a bunch of handmade stuff I've made but never got around to selling.

Speaking of selling... A friend asked me to make four slings and she even wants to pay me. How cool is that. I haven't even replied to her request but I will get around to that....

And lastly, I would like to paint my bathroom. I don't know if I will get to that but I am sick of the pink/blue theme (yikes).

If you are wondering how I get it all done - I have a simple (and quite obtainable) answer.... I barely watch T.V.

Good Luck Miller Family! At least the painting/rearranging will be a little easier with 2 fewer kiddos hanging aroung "helping". :)
By the way...google won't let me login, so I had to post as anonymous. This is Amy.

The shampooing the carpet is new to me. It should be an eventful week.

Your friend wants slings? Like slings that throw rocks? Cool. Can I get one too? And possibly some small stones i can fling around with it too?
I have a carpet shampoo thing if you want to borrow it (if you were planning on renting one) its like a vastly over sized vacuum.
When is the garage sale? Im totally coming to check stuff out! The kids should totally sell some snickerdoodles too...
