What Were We Thinking??????

Recently our oldest granddaughter turned 12 years old. When we asked her how she wanted to celebrate she informed us that she would like to have a "Friday the 13th" slumber party at our house. Of course we agreed.

After gathering everyone together, we took them to a mall where here Dad had planned a really fun scavenger hunt. It ended at a local Starbucks. From the looks on everyones face I would say they had a great time. Lots of giggling and "OMG's". Of course there were a couple of 8th grade boys that got a little attention too. Kind of funny. David was not happy about that!

Back row: David, Boo, Jenny and Noah

Seated: Linda, Mary Claire, Megan and Kate

The goofy one layin on their laps....SARA!

Of course what slumber party would be complete without tatoo's? Even I got in the act although you will never see it!

My bathroom will never be the same!

Oh well....a good time was had by all. Most importantly we got to spend a wonderful evening with a very special granddaughter. Wouldn't have skipped this for the world~

Out with old (dusty) and in with Nothing

Okay - so this is the kitchen with all the crappy cabinets taken out. There is nothing else left to destroy (maybe a new dishwasher). Our new cabinets are being installed as we post this blog. We are almost there. Be patient.

Look at my Grandsons!

Aren't they cute!?!?!?!?!

Love the windows....but where's my kitchen?

The new windows we had put in are awesome. Already can tell a huge difference in the house. Go Champion! But....in addition to the new windows we're getting a new kitchen. That's wonderful, but look what we're living with in the meantime. It will be worse tonight when Don takes out the remaining cabinet where the sink is! Good thing we have a microwave....hello frozen entrees!
