Saturday August 13

There is a lot of stuff to get done around this place to get it ready to put up for sale.

Our front yard for one.

It was starting to get a little over grown and unruly.

Our ivy growing up the wall was starting to take over the front door....so we made it look nice and pulled out a bunch of ivy and grass and weeds and cleaned up the rocks and trimmed the bushes.

I think the entrance looks nice and inviting now.

Madi was a huge helper.

I kept telling her that I hope she is loving this, cause there will be ALOT more of this kinds of stuff at the new house.

She seemed pretty excited.

We'll have to wait to see.

Remember how I was slowly sanding down my kitchen cupboards to paint them.

Well, our realtor told us to just re stain the ones we had sanded.

I tried that, and they looked terrible.

So I decided to bite the bullet and paint them.

I am excited to see them all done like I imagined them being......even if I don't get to enjoy them.

The doors are all primed and ready to be painted.

The outer edges are about half way done......I will keep working on that.

All and all not too bad of a project.

If there wasn't so much else to do!!!!!

Oh, I also painted all the doors today.

We wanted to keep the hardwood doors that we just recently bought so I could put them in the new house, or save when we add on to it.....

So we bought some nice, not solid, doors, and they needed painted.

So I painted all those today.

Needless to say, the TV played mom for the day today.

I also had a lot of help from Madi Bell and Cassi, and from Jenni as well.

Hopefully we can get the house nice and ready to put on the market soon.

And then I sure hope some sweet family falls in love with it.

I do love this house.

I love where we are....I love how we have started to make it our own.....I love it's home-y feel.....

But the real dream is about to start with this new land and house.

And we are all so excited about it!!!!

I can't wait!
