O.K. so the biggest change is that we have joined the rest of the world in giving up our precious Saturdays for SOCCER!!!! We have been anti-soccer for years but this kid finally wore us down.
Dave even got volunteered to be her assistant coach:-)
So- we haven't done anything around the house in a long time. And being on that "recession budget" has made it hard to do anything. Dave has been working 3 jobs on top of being a Dad of 5 and being in the bishopric. He used to be pretty handy to have around, now he is never around. But this last weekend I cornered him and got him to finish some long over due projects!
This is Abby's room that he started as a birthday present to me, this room was all lavender (not my favorite) and Abby wanted a change.
So he painted it pink! (better, but not quite)
Next he added an awesome wainscot! (Love IT!)
But the PINK just wasn't doing it for me!
So I painted it a light green (that looks yellow in this picture)

Oh yeah- Abby loves it too!
Next I (we) have always wanted a headboard for Bree's bed but couldn't find one in my less than $50 price range- So Dave made me one-in like an hour- for $35 -YEAH!!!
Bree's room is almost finished!
And the Lego table that keeps the Lego's from falling on to the floor in the playroom. FINALLY! He made that for FREE- Yes, I said free! We had the wood left over from finishing the basement, he just needed the time to pound it together!

Carter Loves it, but thinks we need MORE LEGOS.
The play room is now complete (for now) -ha ha just kidding honey!
Even though we missed a few things and are a little backed up with everything else, it's so worth it to get these projects DONE!
