Schmuck? Really?

Well the craft night went great! We had quite a few ladies come by to say hello and check our fabric. It was a great time to hang out and chat (seems to be my favorite thing to do lately)....

And right now I'm staying up late because I didn't get my act together earlier and make my dessert for a potluck tomorrow. I can smell the baklava baking, but I just want to go to bed! It's 11:30 and I'm tired. Luckily my mom is visiting and she was helping me out with the prep and assembly.

Here are some pictures of the house-in-progress. And here's something for you: the park in town is called Schmuck Park. Huh.

The texturing is all done and the primer will be going on this next week - then it's painting time! I need to go and get some samples to try out; still not totally sure what I want to do. There'll also be a new roof and new windows in this summer - hoorah! And the siding is getting re-painted and replaced where it needs to be (Anna's thinking maybe a good chocolate brown). Of course there are a host of other projects, but those are the biggies. The kitchen cabinets should be coming in about a month and then the counters and then we're in! Maybe these pictures will only appeal to those home-remodeling types, but here you go anyway.

I remember a dark and stormy night just a few weeks ago that involved phyllo dough, a late night and Mumsey...glad I broke her in for you and I think we are super related with the procrastinating on food thing. ;) Remember the Halloween costumes and Christmas dresses that were always finished on October 30th and December 23rd when we were girls?? Guess it is genetic. Happy Mother's Day!

OK- blame the procrastination gene on me. Thanks for a really fun and relaxing weekend, Liz & Jason!

this is great, now i don't feel so bad about my pile of a house. you got your hands full baby. when we moved in here with our 1 month old i thought, "eh, it just needs a little paint." ten gallons and 3,000 dollars later and i am still going stark raving mad. and your dog is named miranda? too funny.
