Change of Plans

So the rain all night last night and this morning meant cancelations for photoshoots this morning.  It is never good when it happens, but I just cannot control the weather, trust me if I could I would.  I definitely have a preference for photo shoots and for days off.  I did take advantage of the day and spent a good bit of time editing.  I still have so much to do, but I am running on a close schedule. 
We took complete advantage of the cool rainy day.  After the rain was done, Brandon finished up the last flower bed.  It looks really good and as soon as we get some money to add flowers and bushes to it will look really amazing.  We are also going to get my hydrangea bush from the old house, which really makes me happy.  I love that bush so much and was super sad that it was going to stay.  Now if only I could convince him that the tulip bush should be moved.  Hmmm....I will work on that. 

The boys washed mom's van and Brandon's truck.  My van really needs it, but since it took two hours for those two mine will have to wait for next weekend.

I had a good bit of homework too so that took up a good bit of the day.  I would love not to have to stress and in about a year I will not know what to do with all of the extra time I have.  Maybe my doctorate?  Hmmm....again something to ponder.

What Part of Clean Your Room is So Hard

So Brandon got up this morning and headed to the scrap yard with my old stove. $10, but hey it is $10 we did not have before and the old stove is officially history!!! Then he went to my mom's to go to the dump, then he washed his truck! Then one more errand and he was home.
Well, the boys and I missed choir practice, because of Danny's knee after he soaked it he was pretty sore so we decided to rest. Then they were told to clean their rooms. John Michael did his without any problems, he even helped clean the living room. Danny was a completely different story. It ended up being a VERY long day and the comment "What Part of Clean Your Room is So Hard" came out of my mouth many times.
After Brandon got home I went out to finish up Christmas shopping. I think I am completely done now! YAY! Now to finish up the wrapping and hiding and waiting for Christmas Eve! I love this time of year. I also bought a few things for next year's Christmas, Yep, I have already started! I hope to do even better for the 2012 Christmas than I did for 2011. I love to give gifts and the best way for me to make it happen is to start a year in advance! It works!
I came home to his room still not clean, which is so frustrating. I got the kitchen about halfway done, but we do have a kitchen table again which is a HUGE plus. Now for the dining room table and then we should be there. That is my goal for tomorrow!
So I am caught up on editing, and now my blog. Hopefully I will stay that way!
