Slowly but Surely

Slowly but surely the house it starting to become our home. Thomas has been gone this week and while he's gone, its been my goal to get as much done as I possible can. I think Thomas will be most surprised to see the basement. When he left, my guess there were about 30 boxes, all stacked up. I think I maybe have 7 left. Makenna's room is completely finished as well as her bathroom. Kitchen is put away for the most part, just a few pictures hanging out on the counter waiting for Thomas to hang. Each boy and Tom & I each have about 3 boxes left to unpack. So, I'm getting here and happy with all my progress. Why the hurry, you may ask. Christmas is in just over a week and I haven't even started my Christmas baking! Me being me, I can't even think about baking until the rest of the house is clean. My goal is to have enough done but Friday that I can start baking on Saturday. Normally Thomas doesn't like me to be too busy when he's home so I'm trying to get most everything done so I can spend time with him on Friday and he won't mind my busyness on Saturday and Sunday as long as he can be my taste tester!
I hope to have some pictures posted of the house but that probably won't happen until after Christmas!

Callie, we are so alike, it isn't even funny. My family hates that I cannot think about cooking or baking unless the kitchen is clean. It makes it easier for the clean-up if we started with a clean base. They don't get it.

I am glad you were able to make such progress in a short amount of time. Enjoy the baking... I wish I was there to be a taste-tester. I miss you.
