Early morning Breakfast

Alan comes home from work about 10:30 or 11 every night.  So the kids had a couple of days off from school, and Sid wanted to wake up early and fix Alan breakfast, she put arrows all over the house and than right above our bed she wrote, "Sleep in on Thursday ok?"  So I woke her up at 6 on Thursday morning, and she fixed the family waffles and eggs.  I thought it was pretty cute, and very generous knowing she had the day off and still wanted to get up that early and fix breakfast for her dad!

Kitchen Re-do

Kitchen-it looks fab, I must say! Before the re-do it was just an ordinary kitchen in an old farm house (1890's)... The walls were a cream color with trim and in need of a paint job.  The doors were painted white with a matte finish, and were horribly dirty, (would not come clean)  I just thought eeewwhhh [all of those previous renter germs)...so by painting and staining, you will never see the dirt or grime again, and it adds pizazz to the kitchen.  (it is recommended that you use a glaze... But I love to use gel stain-glazes are much easier clean-up)
