Bryse turned 5! I deal with guilt over Bryse's birthday for several reasons. First, she is the middle child. Second the oldest child and the youngest (until recently) child have birthdays one week apart. So when it's party time for them, it's like, Yeay! It's ALL about Cal and Darby for over a week. And Bryse is just not involved much. So by the time she waits and waits and waits for her birthday to come around (for a whole two months, ha!) I want it to be nice and exciting for her. But this year we had JUST moved. So we didn't have any friends or even know of any place to take her for fun on her birthday. Blessedly, Memaw and Papa came to visit for her birthday. We went to the local mall for the first time to play at the playplace there only to realize there was no play place there. : ( But she got to pick the restaurant we went to (McAlister's) and even got to roast hot dogs in the fire place the next day for lunch. AND she got to pick exactly what kind of cake she wanted. I think I may cater too much because her main anthem for the last week has been, "But it's MY birthday and we do whatever I want!" We are doing some big changes in the kitchen of our new house. It's much too small for our large family and the amount of cooking I do. Our list of to dos include: remove all wall paper, paint, put up shelves, install a new cabinet with more counter top space, get a pot rack, change the light, change the original cabinets in some way, buy an armour for storing our plates and bowls, make a new kitchen table that will seat 8-10.
So far we have bought a cabinet on craigslist. Robert has fixed it to be appropriate for our kitchen, bought and applied a counter top to coordinate with the rest of the kitchen, installed the cabinet (which included moving an outlet up a few feet) and started removing the paint from the wood paneling in the kitchen. (Yes, there is wood paneling, and for some reason, it is painted green.) The kitchen is numero uno on our list to get done because it's sort of a mess right now and it's hard to get around in while cooking. We also will be needing to buy some furniture for the upstairs living room. It's basically empty right now. Also, I am going to start blogging on here more often starting soon. I've decided to back away from Facebook and move more toward blogging as a time saver. I plan to blog once or twice a week and only go on facebook if I have to. Which will make it harder to keep up with some people, but I really just don't have the time to do that right now. Eventually I might. But by blogging I can keep more people informed about our life if they care to come on and read. We will see how that goes. : )
