The tree removal guys came today to remove the large pine tree on the side of our house. We had fun watching the progress. Here’s how things looked as we checked on their progress. Before they started: During the process: At the end of the process as they were grinding the tree stump: Then I couldn’t resist this picture as munchkin was looking out on how much higher the water was today than yesterday.

Thankful Thursday: Separation
Posted in Family
This week has been an interesting week with so much going on. D left on Sunday for 2 weeks. He’ll be home for a few days, then gone again for another 2 weeks. Munchkin takes these things pretty hard, so there has been a lot of adjustment going on. We came to the new house to prepare it for move-in. So, we’ve been keeping busy. So, this week’s “theme” for my Thankful Thursday is being thankful during times of separation. 1. First and foremost, I am thankful that God watches over us each and every day. He never gives us…
Today, we just took the day off from working. We needed a break. We just relaxed this morning (and ran out to get more masking tape). We ate lunch and then planted the rest of the bulbs. Munchkin played for awhile outside while I did the dishes and put away a few groceries. After playtime, we worked on catching up on her schoolwork. We’re a little behind, but not too bad (all things considered). Tomorrow, we’ll work on her St. Patrick’s Day lapbook. Tomorrow, we have to stay at the house because we have someone coming to take down one…
Before and After Pictures Kitchen
Posted in Homemaking, and Thoughts
Obviously, we don’t have our stuff here yet, so these are just before and after pictures of painting. I can’t wait until we move all are things in, so I can get to decorating!! Eat in Kitchen (don’t you just love this view? It looks out over our backyard and the water). Kitchen area (the area above the microwave was lime green. I painted it to match the black cabinets). Laundry room. Here’s the view down the kitchen into the laundry room. The laundry room was plain contracter’s white before.
Tupperware storage containers work for me. You can see my current kitchen set-up with all my Tupperware containers here. As a military family, moving is part of our life. Which means, organization becomes a necessity as you never know what size space you might be living in. Also, before Tupperware, it meant getting rid of most everything in the pantry before moving. Then, when you arrived at your new duty station, you needed to repurchase all of your staples. What a waste. But moving companies will pack anything that is stored in Tupperware containers. That’s right. No more throwing/giving away…
