My Done List for the last week and a bit.

Since there is so much that I need to add to my To Do list, I thought I'd take a minute and celebrate some done things.  I am not good at doing this.  Instead, I continue to look at all that hasn't been done.  So here goes.
Done:
  • Changed "dining room" into piano room/sitting room.  Moved around Family room a bit. 
  • Painted Front Door and Trim - Blue door, white trim.
  • Found a great deal on a new door knob - reg. 120.00 on sale for 30.00!!
  • Painted back door into garage - same as front.
  • Painted back door onto deck - Fire engine red to match the red screen door (not quite done with this one.)
  • Finally bought pansies, ornamental cabbages, and other winter plants for Dale's office.
  • Had one throwing up boy in the middle of the night. (Very clean bathroom floor and walls and doors, etc. - you get the picture.)
  • Had one boy with a bad cold all week.
  • Thanksgiving program for two boys.
  • Great visit/errands/shopping time with a friend.
  • Walked/ran 7 miles one day; 4 miles another.
  • Lots of driving to school for drop-off and pick up.
  • Trimmed back all the about to die plants at Dale's office - very itchy.
  • Planted gobs and gobs of happy violas and pansies and other interesting stuff at the office.
  • One melt down. 
  • Went to Harry Potter with oldest boy - then to buy birthday presents for friends (and slipped in a little bit of Christmas shopping - shhhh!)
  • Finished planting at the office.
  • Started planting at home to add some happy little bursts of violas at my windows, doors and mailbox.
  • Delivered boys to birthday parties after wrapping presents for their friends. (I delivered one, Dale the other and the third got to stay home and ride the 4 wheeler with Daddy.)
  • Sat and stared for a bit.  Mini meltdown.
  • Favorite In-laws arrived to celebrate our youngest becoming a Christian and joining the church.
  • Church and both sets of Grandparents to set out an "Ebenezar" stone of remembrance for Will.
  • Very fun Home ministry group.
  • Finished planting pansies that will hopefully add cheeriness to cold and bleary days.
  • Wrote another blog.  :)
