The last day of break

Yesterday was the last day of break for all three boys.  The two older ones are going back today so it will just be me and Cole today.

Boys had fun playing in the snow, as did Zoey

And after prompting from a friend of mine I finally made a couple of pillows for one of the window seats

Yesterday Austin started his first “job” which involved shoveling the snow out of the driveway of one of our neighbors that went to Florida for the next three months.  So far so good.  Now we just need him to do ours…..

I have the best neighbors, a blend of old and young.  My older neighbors were so nice about our remodeling project.  Even when there were a bajillion trucks and cars lining both sides of the streets making it hard for them to get into their driveways, they still had only nice things to say.  Yesterday my neighbor Kitty Jo called and offered to watch our dogs while we got to Florida- I just love her.  We had plans to take them down to the farm (except for Zoey who is staying with my good friend Aimee) but when Kitty Jo found out that they have to stay in the garage there she insisted on letting her take care of them.  She worries about our 15 year old, and quite honestly so was I so we are going to take her up on her offer.   Yay.  We are so lucky to have a neighbor like her.

Many of you have noticed that we have put the “design your own” bags back up.  For now we are only offering to pick one fabric (for the exterior) and we will pick the inside (usually a solid cord) but if there is something that you really want on the inside, shoot me an email and we can work it out.
