All of the camps are over except for 2, neither of which do I need to be there for. S1 is going on a 50-miler for Scouts, and D2 will be doing a dance camp. Easy-peasy for me. I finished one project last week, a kitty print bone pillow. I took a photo, and promptly lost my camera, so no pictures!
The girls' room is still waiting for the last little bit of trim, and then I will be painting S1's room while he is gone. I am very happy that no primer is required! Just get the paint on! He chose a soft grey, named "sharkskin". Appropriate for a teenage boy, I think. When we first bought the house, there were glow in the dark castles on the wall, but I got some primer and paint on the first weekend we were in the house. It wasn't pretty, but it wasn't glow in the dark either. I am hoping this paint job won't take an entire week. I also have a quilt to finish for the D2 and a bunch of other little projects to get wound up and finished.
We have spent the little free time we had last week de-cluttering the house. In two days we took 10 boxes to the goodwill. And the girls are still saying they have nothing to wear. HA! They are learning the error of that by doing laundry this week! I'd like to get through more drawers and closets this week, but I am not going to hold my breath. It is amazing how much stuff we think we need, and how much we never really use. DH says we "need" the two or three 8x8 casserole dishes we never use because it takes all three cook enough for us. I say get one the right size, and get rid of all the rest. Maybe he needs to dishes more often! LOL...
On the yard work list, I am hoping to build a real compost bin this month. We have a semi-contained pile, but with 6 people, it get bigger than average. We get great dirt out of it, and it isn't spread out all over, but I am sure the neighbors would like something a little bit more screened off. So now I am off to see what I can get done sooner instead of later!!
