Last week we started reno'ing the kids room!! It had tacky carpet, stucko on the roof that was designed all crazy, and no closet. We have ripped the room APART! It now has a closet, new sheet rock on the roof, and new flooring to be put in. We are just in the process of mudding and sanding. Hopefully only a couple more days of that. It is much harder when both Jared and I are working, to do these renovations!! I have some really cool paint that we picked up on the weekend. And their new beds should be arriving next week. I promise to put up pics of the before and during and after on my blog when the room is finished!!
This past weekend we had the Amosah benefit to attend. I , as part of oilwives, helped serve the supper. It was so nice to see SO many people there, really it was just unbelievable!! Jared and I, came back for the auction and dance, where we got Alan Jackson/Brooks & Dunn tickets. The concert is next Friday, so I am going to try and put in some overtime so as to take the day off to go!! The dance was a riot, and we had fun dancing the night away.
In other exciting news, in a previous blog I stated that I had ordered something but didn't want to say what it was until I got it.. well it came !!! NINTENDO WII!! and it is OH so much fun. We've been busy playing DDR (dance dance revolution--such a great work out) and guitar hero.
This coming up weekend I am having my wax and whips party. Our house is one big ball of dust right now from the reno's so I have a lot of cleaning up to do before the party!!
My dad also comes back from overseas this weekend!! So I am hoping (if I get my house cleaned) that I can go down to get him and pick up some closet doors and bedding for the kiddos!!
The 18th weekend, is the concert in Saskatoon, so that will be an exhausting weekend (driving 6 hours)..to tell you the truth, I think this concert is going to be a lot of work to get to!!
The weekend after that we are off to Dauphin on the Friday. There is a big Fish Enhancement supper there (which is kind of like Oxbow's Lobsterfest). The kids are looking forward to it, they love the farm so much. And now that it's nice out they'll be out playing in mud I am sure!! Note to self: pack extra clothes for muddy incidents!!
My relay for life team is going to have a HUGE yard sale/kid games/baking sale to raise money for our team to donate to the Cancer society. A date has not yet been set, but I am working on that today and will hopefully have a day and time for everyone by tomorrow. Lots of stuff will be sold, and all proceeds are going to the cancer society, so it's a great time to stock up on some used items!!
Work is still going good! I have became pretty comfortable with most of everything I am doing. There is talk of a position here after, I am still kind of skeptical on it though. By the time I pay my sitter and drive to Carnduff and back every day I don't make much money. and I really miss my kiddo's. On the other hand, it's been a great job thus far, the people are great to work for and it's great work experience. I have some thinking to do anyways.
