8-29-2010 Last Day of Summer Vacation

Kids go back to school tomorrow. We spent yesterday giving them each an extreme bedroom makeover. Lily got a new wrought iron headboard and we took everything else including the green recliner and plastic storage drawers out of her room and off her walls. It looks great and she loves it!

Luke got a new nightstand and wardrobe. We also moved his bed, got rid of the floral sofa and gave him a folding table for some of his creations (coaster, Lego's, etc.)

We moved the heart dresser from the kitchen to the center hall. Put a Hoosier cabinet in the walk in fireplace and punched tin dresser where the heart dresser was.

We moved the kid's computer to a wooden table closer to the office door. We also unpacked from the beach and did 4 loads of laundry.

Today we did not work at such a breakneck pace. We did bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies for back to school. We packed the kid's backpacks with the items they need for the 1st day of school. Charlie and Lily made a quick trip to Wally World for bread, milk, mini carrots for lunches. Luke and Charlie are down at the river fishing right now while Lily gets in some last minute computer time.

We had such a great summer. The kids agreed that they accomplished everything they wanted to for the summer. They won't go so far as to admit they're ready for school to start...but I know they are.
