Items Update & Fsihies

Just a few updates as far as items go....Treadmill is up for sale again...as well as our toy cabinet. I am sad to lose that because it was a great idea for storing a Lot of toy clutter...it's just a little too big to keep as we are changing the yellow room into a sitting area on one end and dining on the other. If you can believe this...I filled 3 large black garabage bags for goodwill!!! I also got a few more tubs from Walmart with the green handles on them. Don't ask me how we collect so many toys; it's unreal. They still have so much to play with. We are just about to hit 3 Isaksen kids b-days...then shortly after that is Christmas, so there will be more coming.
Oh...and guess what???? We have a few additions to the family!!
The kids got some goldfish...here are the names they chose: Seth's fish is Big Pumpkin, Alayna's is Dandy, Joe's is Squirt, Meg's is Sarah, D.J.'s is Camo the Army Fish, Amanda's is Hanklin, and Mom/Dad's is Chubbs. So there ya go...even the adults got in on the fun. It's relaxing to listen to the aquarium and the kids LOVE to watch the fishies.

Tuesday

Homework is a dreadful thing when there are so many other interesting things to do. I will be SO happy to be done for a while. I have 3 1/2 weeks left of filling my spare time with writing papers and taking exams. We have been busy at the Isaksen house trying to get it ready for Sept 1st. An update on furniture items: Treadmill, plaid couch, and oak desk are all sold. Dean and Michelle are the lucky recipients of our downstairs changing table :-). Better get to that homework!

Anniversary Time

Our wedding day


Meg's Christmas Dress



Today is our 6th wedding anniversary! We really have aged :-). NOthing special planned for today...just more parenting and getting the house ready to put on the market. I have had more bad back days over the past 2 weeks....it has been frustrating to be slowed down by it, but I am thankful not to be worse (since things could always be worse). I have finished Meg's Christmas dress. It wasn't as hard as I suspected and I finished quicker than anticipated. We are still trying to sell the treadmill and oak desk. Just speak up if you want either item. I should get back to work for now.
