hmmm, what's new?

It's back to school day for the kids. This is the longest vacation they've ever had. My little ones were getting kind of bored I think. The snow is mostly gone, and there's not much to do outside with cold & no snow.
I've got some catch-up work to do that I put aside while the kids were all home, so am anxious to get working on that again, and I have a photo calendar to make before Friday when we'll all be going to Gma Jane's for our Holiday get-together. Then I'm planning to have two little grandkids here for a bit, and am anxious for that.
We have a ton of home-improvement/repairs that we need to do, so the other day we went to Menards to look at things. Doors, floor coverings & paint samples. I came home with a pile of paint samples/ideas, and am SO anxious to do some re-painting! I've been telling myself that I had to wait till the "new year" to re-do the living room....well, it's here!! I've also been planning on re-doing (or maybe I should say DOING) our bedroom for several years, so those are first on the list! Oh...woops, guess I'd better finish up that trim in the bathroom downstairs so I can put that picture on here for you all too!
