Seven Years

Seven years ago today, I wrote my very first post. Seven years later, I have written over 2. 055 more. Thank you all for reading along, and for your support and friendship for the last seven years.

I can’t believe just how quickly seven years has passed… Here’s to the next seven.

With love,

This Week

This week has been miserably hot, and we have been stuck at home hiding out from the heat-wave.

Sunday:

The kitty took over my sewing table, and took an extra long nap in the curtains.

I baked some homemade bread and a dutch apple pie too.

Monday:

Monday was a crazy long day. James had to work till 8:00 p.m., and the boys didn’t want to go to class, because it was so hot.

Tuesday:

James had the day off, so we got out before the weather was too warm, and we took the kids back to school shopping.

Wednesday:

The heat was miserable, and there was no way we were going out in it.

I decided to tape-off and start painting some of the woodwork in the house. This is going to be a long process, we have woodwork that needs painted in every single room.

Thursday:

I took back the sewing table from the cat, and I sewed a couple of lunch totes.

Agnes liked the little lunch totes. She poured her cereal into one of the totes.

Dylan tested for his yellow belt.

He did an awesome job!

Friday:

James had two days of working open to close, so we took him some chocolate chip cookies.

I got two coats painted on the accent wall in the foyer.

Saturday:

I took the pretty new paint upstairs, and painted two coats in the hallway.

The pup has found a way to stay cool. She has gathered up all of her favorite toys and parked herself on an air conditioning vent.

It was a long week, how I wish we could have a break in the weather. On the brighter side, since we are stuck at home, I’m keeping busy painting.

Mr. Yellow Belt

Thursday Dylan tested for his yellow belt at Tae Kwon Do, and he absolutely rocked it!

He did his form perfectly, and he did his one steps so well too. He was awarded his yellow belt!

We are all so proud of Dylan.

So My Site Crashed

So this week, we backed-up, updated, and then there was a server crash, and my site crashed, hard… It might look a little funny around here for a bit, but all will be back to better soon, and just in time for NicoStuff’s 7th Anniversary!
