WE ARE FINALLY USING THE UPSTAIRS OF OUR HOUSE. That's right. The bathroom is done and now that the carpet is in, we've moved all our bedroom furniture up. I even have curtains that are from this century. It feels so luxurious. And thanks to Pinterest, I will be making a "family wall" going up the stairwell. Justin and my dad still have to install the doors they made for the hall closet, but that's a minor detail compared to what we started with upstairs.

Pass the Ketchup
Ok, I am in serious need of catching everyone up on the past week of activities which of course flew by in a blink of an eye. I don't know where the time went, but it went so quickly I had no time to blog.
At any rate, we had a wonderful July 4th holiday surrounded by friends and family. Even though it was a week night we threw together a bbq. The local fireworks are viewable from our front lawn so most of our guests stayed late to enjoy them. This year we had plenty of activities planned: wiffle ball, washers, ladder ball, horseshoes, and of course the pool. I also tried out a new recipe for Raspberry Rhubarb Upside Down Cake which was out of this world.

We bought a...
We bought a pool! It was a bit spur of the moment. We were lazing about after breakfast on Saturday wondering what to do for the day when I suggested putting up a pool. Seeing as how he'd already done some homework on the topic, that's all it took and Justin transformed into a kid in a candy shop. We decided on an Intex pop-up pool. It's 14 feet in diameter, 48 inches in depth. For our first pool and a pop-up at that, it's really not too shabby. It was, however, a bit more of a process than initially anticipated.
