Normal Monday

It seems like every child in the metroplex EXCEPT Parker started school today. Her school doesn't start until next Tuesday. That leaves us with a loooong week to fill. Today we just hung around the house, mainly because we were waiting on the shutters to be installed in the family room. They were a last minute add, and that has sort of pushed everything back, but they are are worth it. They look great! I bet we get a thank you note from the neighbors now since they can't see us running on the treadmill anymore.

Of all the pictures i took, this one turned out the best, so pardon the weird angle. There will eventually be 2 chairs and a table underneath these windows.

I"m not sure if I've done a picture of the finished built-ins yet. They are grand. They'll eventually have decorative stuff in the open part and on top. The middle doors close too, I just forgot.

I'm LOVING all of the storage. We're trying to put everything away in an organized manner and purge a lot of things we don't play with anymore.

Here's the inside. Ignore the yellow color cast.

Another close up, showing off her music drawer. This was last week prior to the carpet installation.

Enjoying her new space. I have no clue why she's wearing a Santa hat.
