schools out but we can't seem to stay away.
tonight nathan was honored for his work
with the junior historian club.
he really put his time & talent into this group.
they met every friday after school.
they went on many 'field trips' cleaning up local
areas around round rock on the weekend.
they learned about texas history in detail.
he went to dallas to compete in the state wide competition.
its was a fun and educational club.
nice job nathan!
he's already joined for next year!

happy thursday.
whats going on here at 7am?
colin has finally saved enough money
to buy into his brothers xbox system.
after much discussion about depreciation last night
as a family, all the boys settled on a fair market price
for colin to pay.
we made colin sleep on it.
colin was up at 6:40am with a decision.
now he is just waiting for those sleeping brothers to get up
so he can complete the transaction.
exciting day ahead.
after chores are done - of course!

goodbye to our team of painters.
hello new looking house - inside & out!
for three days you overtook our house &
turned it into new.
i do not recommend having your entire house painted inside
while you are living there BUT
it was so worth it!
heres to that new paint smell, clean white walls
and a fence that i love to look at.
heres to repainting with eggshell finish instead of flat finish.
(why would anyone think that flat paint on walls is a good idea?)
heres to a new color in the master suite.
(very daring of me to mix it up a little!)
heres to cleaning in all those places i normally don't.
(amazing how much dust the top of a picture frame can hold!)
heres to a big project of the to-do list!
