Andy took Laura to the “Pink Out” Mizzou Gymnastic meet tonight.  It was Mizzou versus Alabama.  Unfortunately, Mizzou lost the overall meet, but Andy and Laura had a great time!  M-I-Z!

John got his Pinewood Derby car at his Cub Scout Pack meeting tonight.  Time to get busy designing and making the Formula One car!

I am on my way to my weekly fitness goal.  I am determined to break 100,000 steps over the course of seven days.  My week began on Monday and I am 44,000 steps towards my goal.  I am going to need all seven days to do this, but I hope to be over 100,000 by Sunday evening!

Andy and Laura went to Smithton Middle School this evening for those kids that are interested in playing in Band and/or Orchestra next year.  Laura got to try out the different instrument families, settling on the clarinet as her first choice, the trumpet as her second choice, and the violin as her final.  The choice will be made based on what her middle school needs for next year.  I am hoping that she does get the clarinet!

After a long day of laundry and cleaning, this is my reward – a good book and a glass of wine by the fire.

All the projects on our “move-in list” are officially done!  Andy and I finished up the laundry room/mudroom today.

We took everything out of the room and Andy began by adding more sets of hooks on the wall with the window.  He moved up the two sets that were there and added two more sets.  Now, we each have a set of hooks for our jackets and coats.

Then, he lowered the coat bar and added a shelf on top.  I moved the washer and dryer over slightly, so that I could turn the organizational shelf that we have in there sideways.  I reorganized everything and, now, we have everything needed in there for the small room to function as both a laundry room and mudroom.

Thanks to my awesome husband for all your hard work and for making it so that I can actually reach the bar to hang my coats!

Andy finished the closet in his office today.  While the shelves were put in and filled last month…

….the doors had been off the track since we moved in.  It turns out that the hardware on the doors not only was installed incorrectly, but it also didn’t fit the track.  So, after a trip to Home Depot to get the correct hardware, Andy got it installed and the doors properly hung.

Check off another project from the list!  We have only the laundry room to go from our “move-in list” and, then, we can actually take a few moments to relax before we begin painting a few rooms!
