We’ve all been busy as bees around here lately. (Except the bees, who are dead. We’ll try again in a year or two.) Here’s what we’ve been up to.

+ Moved all the furniture out of Anya’s room and the sun room and crammed everything into the kitchen and living room.
+ Sanded, stained, and polyed the floors in Anya’s room and the sun room and started putting up new new trim.
+ Painted the walls and trim in Anya’s room.

+ Found the rams a new home.
+ Planted a bunch of daffodil bulbs purchased last fall and ignored.
+ Moved the living room furniture into the sun room, now known as the living room.
+ Bought curtains for the new living room and flung them over the rods. Tonight we may actually hang them up!
+ Moved most of Anya’s stuff back into her room.
+ Got a quote to pull down the wall we want to pull down. Shrieked at the cost. Asked a friend to help us.
+ Picked out the materials / styles for the new kitchen cabinets and counter tops.

Also, last weekend I went to another scrapbook thing and got a lot done towards finishing Anya’s first year book. All the pictures are in, and I’ve finished up to month 8! Yay! I also discovered I really like ribbon. Go figure. I’m still working on the squares for my brother’s blanket. I finished the eighth one yesterday. Anya has informed me that after “Bubba’s Blankie” is done, we have to make one for her. I haven’t told my mom yet. Hi Mom!
