Fall is in the air

We camped this weekend and were most grateful to have a furnace. It got down to 32 degrees Fahrenheit Saturday morning!

We attended the Minnesota Renaissance Festival on Saturday, where little Miss Pippa was the star of the day. People loved her. So did a fawn pug puppy named Dieter. LOL She was unimpressed.

We're back home now, and I have tackled "Mount Washmore" as FlyLady calls it. I hope to be done tomorrow evening. It is BAD.

And I thought I would update on my progress on the list (okay, and add a few things) from last week:

-copy recipes onto index cards and place in album
-paint back of scrap shelves with magnetic paint
-finish door jambs on main floor
-stain trim in basement
-hang suspended ceiling and install tiles in basement bath
-sort and organize photos
-sort and organize family history stuff
-sew bathrobes for kids
-sew table skirts for scrap room
-finish sweatshirt for Mom
-finish sweatshirt for Nancy
-choose photos, have them printed and laminated to create border for hallway
-mail envelope to Sally with Henry's paperwork
-print family group sheets for Aunt Ida to have them proofed and corrected
-write thank you notes for the Ohio trip
-make cards for Sally for her birthday
-add trim to baking cabinet
-sand / paint baking cabinet before obtaining solid surface top
-stain hot tub
-tear up hallway carpet
-remove tile from entry and bath
-stain arbor
-stain front door trim
-stain back door trim
-hang wood blind in family room
-paint hallway
-finish surf painting for kids' room
-finish bedroom curtains
-work on decorating idea book

Okay, it doesn't look like a lot, but remember I had to pack for camping and I babysat some friends' kids, and I DID manage to get enough evidence together to prove Rob is eligible for membership in a special group of a genealogical society in Ohio. Which isn't a big deal except it gives me access to more resources and if our kids or other descendants want to join later they will only have to document their link to us. So.

Yeah, I am off to do laundry and get my kids to finish their homework, then it's grading math papers and calling potential volunteers for the book fair. Have a good week, all!
