Weekend Wonders

I know this may be a shock to some of you, but sometimes I don't do what I say I'm going to do. :o I said in a blog last week, that I was going to get the basement situated since we brought the couch and big TV upstairs. Well, guess what? I got the basement situated Saturday morning. It had snowed the previous night and the kids were sick, so I skipped Zumba. I know, another shocker! It looks quite nice if I do say so myself. I set it up as a little town. There's a house, a store, a clothing store (dress-up) complete with a full length mirror. It almost looks like we could be having playdates here for a change. I would LOVE that. I've been wanting to get more hospitable, but then I keep getting all these plagues. Hopefully this last one is over with, and we can start inviting friends over. I can't wait.

While I would love to say that I have pictures of my masterpiece, I do not. Sorry! I still have some cabinets to clean up, so I'll show you in completion of it all. For now I'm just excited that when you look in the basement, it's airy...which is very important for a basement. Our old set up of little stations just wasn't working, and it made it look small. I still don't think we're going to paint or anything just because there's a part of us still not willing to commit to being here long enough for that. Wishful thinking considering that this was supposed to be our starter house, and we weren't going to be here for longer than 5 years. It'll be 6 this May in case you were wondering. C'est la vie!
