Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
Tonight begins my tenure as Cub Scout Pack 2 Treasurer. I attended my first committee meeting at Shiloh and enjoyed a glass of wine (or two) while trying to wrap my head around everything. There is homework in my immediate future as I sort through everything. Up first is determining how much was spent last year on the Blue and Gold Banquet, so the organizers have a ballpark budget.
It was a full day for us. First, I took Laura to the dentist to have a couple of cavities filled. She was a champ and was done in less than thirty minutes. After about an hour at home and a quick lunch, we headed to Hollywood Theaters to see “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” We all enjoyed the movie! It was better than Andy and I expected and the kids thought it was amazing. They loved seeing all the new creatures in the movie. They are now obsessed with Porgs…
Finally, Laura had her first cheer practice of the year for Upward Cheerleading. Time to fluff some poms!
My kids sure can fake loving each other! Less than 30 seconds before I took this picture, Laura was yelling at John for trying to give her a kiss. She is only smiling because I told her this was the picture of the day for the blog. On the other hand, John was cracking up because she was so annoyed at him…
Happy New Year! I cannot believe that 2018 is here already. The past year went so quickly! This post is #2,546 and begins Year Eight of this blog. YEAR. EIGHT. That is completely amazing. I sometimes wonder what would happen if I just stopped, but then I cannot imagine stopping. So, here is to the coming year and all that will be recorded here. Cheers to 2018!
It was a quiet New Year’s Eve at the Kassel Castle. We enjoyed some Chicago-style Deep-dish Pizza for dinner and Haley, our neighbor, came over to play.
The kids rang in the New Year about 10:30 pm and then we watched some television. It was low key and relaxing. No, I did not make it to midnight, but that is okay! Happy New Year!
Andy’s office is painted and the furniture is back in place. We will hang the pictures, etc., in a couple of weeks after the paint has fully cured.
The time has finally come to begin painting the rooms in our house that have no color. First on the list is Andy’s office. He chose the color “Raven Wing,” which is a dark gray.
Just a small portion with the new color is a dramatic difference!
Tomorrow, we will take the tape off and put the furniture back in place. I am looking forward to getting all the pictures and decorations out of boxes and into the office after the paint fully cures. It will finally be Andy’s office again!
