More work around the house

Well, we woke up early to an AMAZING thunder storm.  I love a good storm.  It was short lived, but awesome.  After the girls left for church with Grandma, we got right to work on the porch.  We worked until we were out of lumber, and it's looking good.  We're getting better at it, too.  Today didn't involve ANY "clean-up" cuts along the edges.  It's gonna be great.

Mom invited us over for chili, and with sawdust covering my home, I had to accept.  It was great chili, too.  Then back home for more work.  Kevin mowed the lawn, I painted Natalie's room.  I think two coats is enough, but we'll see what it looks like tomorrow.  The kids all have dark paneling, so the rooms are dark.  Very dark.  We've been here for almost 4 months, yet I've NEVER been able to take a pic down there.  Wooohoooo!  Today I did it!

More home improvement to come, but I'm pooped right now.  Pooped and watching the Chiefs game!

I am so happy to hear about what you are doing in the house, correction - your home. What about colors scheme?

Well...at least the Chiefs won.  I'd love for you to taste my chili, but I don't usually start making it until the leaves start to change color.  It's just a rule for me.  ;)
