Time for a Change!

It is time to put up another, happier posting.

Sadly?  our live has been dull and boring since we got back.  So - you will have to tolerate the boring post.

We have been playing musical rooms at the house.  Joseph thought he might sleep better in the back of the house, instead of the front, due to road noise from the highway during the day.  So, insanely, we moved all of the books and bookshelves from the library and placed them in the front room, which is still the master bedroom.  We made a nice nook for reading in the bay window.  I am actually enjoying it.  The room was the same size as the living room downstairs, so the extra space is nice.   The down side?  we still use the closet as our closet.  Eventually, if we really intend to leave it this way, we may move ALL of the food storage into that closet and move our clothes - but the other 2 rooms are really tiny.  Our bed barely fits, with only 18" around and just enough clearance for the door to close.  We will just have to wait and see. 

Then we realized, that if Steven was going to be staying with us, we would have to move the office.  Now THAT is a task.  We have moved my counters, books cases and shelves, and re-organized all of my fabric stash.  I've been working on that last part - the organizing - for over a week.  But, it fits nicely in the library, and I can sit and sew while Joseph reads or Stuart does homework.  We are almost done clearing out the office, so that Steven has a room.  I wonder if I should paint before he comes.... considering the room is purple- or really...more of a lavender with girly curtains,..

Stuart is doing well - mostly.  Still won't turn in all of his homework - but he knows, this year - the consequences are all on him.  I can't keep him fed, can't keep him in clothes or shoes, but that is the basic definition of teenage boy, right?

Ok... Next time pictures, and hopefully something more entertaining to read about.
