Finished Bathroom & Bedroom with Trim

I think the trim really makes a difference in the finishing touch.

The Collapsing Dinner Table

Our kitchen table was needing a refinishing so I began to do so. It started in the house and then my hubby made me take it outside and we brought the old fold out camping table. It was there for about 3 weeks. During the time of using the camping table we were sitting at it eating dinner one night and Baylee bumped the lock and down it came. I know it is a mess, but for some crazy reason I couldn't help but laugh. I told my family there will come a day when they too will look back at this and laugh. We tried to get the kids to stand up quickly, but that didn't happen. Baylee was upset,and crying, and I felt bad about that, but the mess that was created made me laugh. Who knows maybe no one else will think this was very funny. It was a good motivator for getting the table done quickly. I forgot at first I made a table out of boxes and a round piece of wood. In the last picture you can see the green seat of the table.

Scout Day Camp in Boulder City

This was a ton of fun and only part of what was done. I really enjoyed seeing Brandon interact with the boys. We went on a 2-3 mile hike through the tunnels by the dam. He never complained on the way back from the hike to the Alan Bible visitors center. This was only a week following his surgery, so I really did not know what to expect. They did some great things that were a lot of fun. The last day we were there we were supposed to be at the pavilion in the park by the YMCA, and it rained and hailed on us like crazy. We ended up back at the church. They even had a swim party one night. We had a couple of very hot days at the Veterans Memorial Park and the theme was Cub Scout Castaways. The boys learned about building a shelter/tents out of sticks, ropes, and sheets. They made boats with what ever they thought might work that was available, and raced them in the pool of water. After all, when you're a castaway there is not always a whole lot available. They also made walking sticks, and a pocket type of thing for putting their stuff in that attached to the stick. They had a scavenger hunt. They also had dinner with their families and did skits the last night, and received on awards. I truly enjoyed spending this time with him. Even if we did have car problems that week. It was so satisfying to spend time with him, and not have to worry about what I needed to do at home. I really feel like I get to caught up in other things, and find it hard to spend the kind of time I would like to with him. So this was very refreshing, and enjoyable.

More Magnet Board's

This one is mine. If you look at the colors it makes it pretty obvious. I really like purple, green, and reds.

Magnet Boards

I learned how to make these really cool magnet boards in Homemaking. I liked them so much I made 2 for myself, one for my niece Linda, 1 for mom, and 1 for my sister Carol. My niece Aubrey wanted to learn how to do one and came over and she did her own it turned out beautifully. She has not sent me a picture of the totally finished product, but what she finished of it looked great. The family home evening one is incomplete in this, I can't seem to fine the one that is, and have had problems uploading pictures lately.
