We have been so blessed these past few years. Daddy Man has been going to school full time and while he has been in school, we have been living in the Campus Mobile Home Park. The place is getting set to close in 2011 (thankfully we should be out and in the real world this coming spring). In the mean time, people are slowly trickling out and the old trailers are being left empty. There has been a company moving them out and it has been quite an experience. Our front yard has been getting bigger and bigger. Daddy Man Pulled over the back porch of our neighbors so the boys could climb on it. A couple of days later the guy in charge of tearing down the trailers had his workers bring over a matching porch(how thoughtful was that?). Well Daddy Man and I got uber creative and made the Boys a fort. I know, the board in the middle doesn't look too steady, but it can hold daddy man, not to mention Monkey and I dueling with light sabers. We had so much fun building it and have so many more ideas to do, we just need a little more time. And how about all that reusing? How green are we? Now Daddy Man just need a job locally so we can take it with us. It now gets used more than the swing set ever does.

so here is a list of a few of the projects that are in the process of getting done

I am etching some monograms on some glass vases for the center pieces for my cute friends wedding. I have found a program for my cricut called Sure Cuts A Lot and I totally love it. It enables me to cut out basically any true type font I have on my computer(not to mention dingbats, and A Ton of different picts I find on the web). I have been having so much fun with this program!

Another project I've been working on is stuff for Monkey's birthday party. He is turning 4 in a couple of weeks and we are going to have a knight party. I am going to be making tunics for all the kids and we are going to make swords. I will be posting a pict when I get them done.

There is still the old couch I found. Right now it's sitting in the yard peeling. The main problen is that the way I want to change it doesn't match with my current decor. So if I bring that in, I will have to paint, and get a new rug, change out pictures, etc. And we plan on moving in the spring so I am not going to waste the money on a house that is just getting torn down in the summer.
