A day in the life

It's Tuesday 5:38pm
Patrick left an hour ago for his second set of classes
Griffin (sick) is asleep on the couch
Trevor is is his room for a time-out (for something he did this morning)
Savannah is being a Drama Queen crying & whining in her room about all her problems
I just put dinner in the oven THIS actually, I'm hungry & tired.  Ready for this day to end.

Happy Tuesday to you!  How's your day going?

Harry Potter in Legos

Trevor & Griffin got several Harry Potter Lego sets for Christmas.  Today when Griffin was
feeling up to it, he and I worked on the last set, the Hogwarts Castle.  We finally finished it
tonight.  It turned out great!  I think this set is great, lots of great detail.  Griffin & I just moved
all of the pieces over to the display shelf Pat built last week.  I can actually say I have started
to find Legos fun & relaxing.  Trevor was not as 'into' this set for some reason.  He helped,
just not very much.  Too busy reading a bunch of Harry Potter books he got for Christmas.

Proudly showing off his hard work

Griffin's turn

He was bundled up in a sweatshirt & two jackets
because he was so cold!

Now Griffin's got a fever & feels sick!

Projects

We've been working on some projects at our house recently.







From refinishing a dresser & nightstand for Savannah, making shelves, cutting open geoids,

starting to clean up & strip a paino we bought, we've been busy! 



Menu Monday

I'm trying to be better about making & sticking to a menu.  Our lives are really busy. 
Having something already planned out should help the nights be less caotic.
