Hi All!
Just wanted to give you a little update on what’s been going on here at Sava central! Today I finished giving the boys bathroom a mini makeover! I painted and put in new hardware, doorknob included (so no one could lock themselves in the bathroom…anymore) and I even painted the ceiling and installed a new light fixture! Let me tell you it has been a very rewarding experience! I have never done any home improvements and this was my first attempt…so I’m thrilled to say that while it is by no means a professional job…it’s my handiwork and I’m SO excited that I was able to accomplish it!
My next project is the other upstairs bathroom…it’s identical to the boys and needs some love really badly! Then I’m going to tackle the guest bathroom and bedroom downstairs! That should keep me busy until November or so! I think I will take a break over the holidays and then rev up for the New Year! I’m planning it out already…see what accomplishing things will do for me!
On another exciting note…the weather here is finally changing and definitely for the better! It’s gotten a lot cooler over the last week and yesterday it didn’t get above 74 the whole day! That was just wonderful! If this is a prelude to Fall out here…I’m going to love Fall! I will just have to vacation in CA during the month of August and come back in time for school and Fall! Ha!
The boys are over their cold and will be back in school Tuesday! And my sister, her husband and my adorable nephew will be coming to visit for a whole week on Wednesday! I couldn’t be more excited to see them and spend some time with family! I am also looking forward to touring around a little more and seeing some new things I haven’t seen yet!
That’s the latest and greatest with me! How are all of you doing? Let me know…I’m dying to hear what’s up! Love to all, Donna
Hey Donna,
Pleased to hear that the boys are over their cold. Did they send it over to me by any chance?
All’s well here apart from me going through tissues like there’s no tomorrow.
It actually rained here -yes! and there was a thunderstorm of all things! I actually think it’s rather pleasant for us to have some weather. I mean, it’s ok as long as it stops long enough for me to play tennis when I want. Not too demanding am I?
The rest of the family are good. The kids now go to After School Club for about an hour and half at most. They love it, as it is a chance to play more with their friends. Unfortunately the schools don’t release the pupils at the same time which meant that Lucas had half an hour that he would spend with me. As much as he loves his Mummy he would much rather hang out with his friends – I can’t imagine why!!! Am I already so Un-cool?
We are also attacking some rooms in the house. Our spare room is well over due for a makeover. We’ve bought some lovely big cupboards and painted the walls a vibrant orange – yes, we are planning to blind our guests when they come to stay. My theory is you can never have enough color in a house and currently we have the range of it all – yellow, blue, green, orange – it’s almost like an array of M’Ms. Well, I never was a fan of boring old magnolia color.
Anyway, I’m off to blow my nose some more. Lots of love to you all.
Hope the visit with your Sister and family is going great,
TTFN,
Love,
Liza.
