Pictures Around the House

I haven't done a post with pictures for a long time, so I'm doing one today.  Here's what's been going on around our house:

 Here is what is at the foot of Daughter #3's bed.  Phineas and Ferb's eyes are awesome.

 You can see actual carpet in the little girls' bedroom.

 Daughter #1's rollerblade waiting to be fixed.  Attempt #3 will be made today.

 One of many owls.  This is my newest one.

 Sneak peek of a rug I'm making for a sister's birthday present.

 Seedlings.

 A dresser I bought at a thrift store and am fixing up.

 Pile of things to go to D. I.

 The too-cute ratties.

 The too-weird chickens.  And gross window and gross back patio.  All thanks to weird chickens.

 Our family room is starting to come together.  Still trying to figure out what to put on the walls.  The couch, ottoman and rug are new.  Everything else is thrifted.

 Latest set of used childrens' books.

 Our cheap but new couch for downstairs.  Love it!

 An old rolling cabinet I found at the thrift store.  Of course.

 It holds all our movies.  It's very handy.

 Just part of our food storage.  I think we've got condiments covered.

 All that's left of our nasty old couches.

 You can see carpet in the older girls' bedroom, too!!

 Laundry.  Always laundry.

 My craft room.  I need to spend some quality time in here.  Stat.

 Someone is studying for their learner's permit.  I don't want to talk about it.

 LEGO

 One of these things is not like the others.  OUCH!!

 Hey!  My bed is made.  And you can see carpet.

Dishes.  Always dishes.

It's Still Life...

around here.  Just the usual things going on:  dishes, laundry, vacuuming, homework, cooking, chickens getting into the garden, rats making a mess, kids making a mess, me not wanting to clean up the mess, more laundry, etc.

Right now I'm making bread, doing laundry and running the dishwasher.  I've already vacuumed half of the upstairs.  The kids are at school and Bryan is at work.  And I'm listening to music.

I need to put more of my items up in my Etsy store.  I have about 8 rugs to list.  And doilies and purses.  I've almost finished another afghan.

Tomorrow afternoon I get to officially help with my first radKIDS simulation.  I'm quite excited for that.

We got another set of bunkbeds.  This set went in the little girls' room.  It's a small room and they really need the extra space a bunkbed provides.  We got it used from the KSL classifieds.  Now we just need to organize the rest of the bedroom.

We also got a new couch for the family room downstairs.  We had had the two very gross, falling apart used couches for several years and it was time to move them to the garbage.  On Saturday we took them apart and are slowly disposing of them on garbage days.  We got a put-together sectional and ottoman and it is so much better.  Now to paint and finish the rest of the room.  I'll add that to my list...
