We are at the halfway point for the week. Is it really Wednesday already?
Last weekend turned out to be a lot of fun for everyone. Us girls had fun on Friday night going out. Makenzie and Kylie stayed with my parents and of course had fun with Nana and Papa. I picked them up on Saturday morning and we went back to Danielle and Tommy's house. Allsion and Aubri (as Makenzie calls her) joined us and we had another girls only night. We watched our favorite Georgia Bulldogs win again, ate pizza, and had a few (maybe more) drinks. Kinda sounds like a bunch of guys! On Sunday me and the girls went to Shane's first birthday and then headed home to see Daddy (Rian). The girls had not seen him since Thursday evening. Rian and the guys seemed to have had a blast. The stories were told as I knew they would be and I have to admit I wish we had been able to go as well. They all survived and everyone was able to stay in the raft even though aparently the guide tried really hard to have at least one go in. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the water wasn't too terribly cold. Rian described the house and the view similar to Arliss' except with the mountains going on as far as the eye could see. The inside was wood similar to theirs as well as the outside "log cabin" look. They had a screened in porch with a fire place and hot tub, a pool table in the basement and 5 bedrooms! Sounds like they had it made! This week we have been cleaning and cleaning and cleaning! I have not done a good cleaning of the house in a long time. Of course we straighten up and wipe things down but I am talking about cleaning windows, window screens (Richard's job), polishing and cleaning the hardwoods, dusting everything, wiping down every picture frame, etc. Ron is coming in next week and we have company coming this weekend as well, besides that though the house just really needed it! We are getting some new (new to us / hand me down) furniture for Kylie's room that will complete everything and everything will now match! She is very excited as am I because now all the bedrooms have matching stuff which is a big deal for us since so much of our stuff in the past has been mis matched what nots that we happen to have or were given! My next project then is to paint her room and then the everything will be completed. We painted Makenzie's room before she was born but I just never got around to repainting Kylie's since she has gotten older. Time to get ready to go home and get some more cleaning done. Will post more after this weekend.
