The Weekly Goods, Bads, and Uglies

GOOD: My boys are home from Utah! They had a great time fishing, making forts, attending the Ute Stampede and playing with grandma, grandpa, and their cousins.

GOOD: My boys are also artists. Kole would like everyone to know that his paintings are for sale if you are interested.

One of Kole's paintings that I framed and put in the bathroom.

A masterpiece by Kole titled "Look into My Eyes".

GOOD: My brother, Shane and his wife, Rochelle are coming to visit this Wednesday.

BAD: My house is not "company ready." I had/have so many projects on my list, okay, on Ryan's list, "we" will be pushing it to get them all done. Ryan is convinced that we haven't done this many projects in the last two years. He is probably right because that is the last time we have had family out, besides my mom and dad (who know how we really live).

GOOD: The guest bedroom which was our "throw it in that room" room is now beautiful and newly decorated. (except the paint, Ryan can't do everything sigh)

GOOD: The loft is officially clean. It has been my "scrap room" as Braydon calls it and craft room for the last two years. Which translates into another diasaster that has needed a good cleaning for a long time. It only took me 6 hours no biggie right?

Ugly: Braydon's uneaten ice cream sandwich in the bathroom trash, just after I cleaned the bathroom.

BAD: As in good bad. Ryan completed one of the projects on his list. He put trim around the mirror in the guest bathroom. Okay, that sounds much more simple that it was. It looks awesome. What a handy man I married.

GOOD: The boys had so much fun and did really well in their first swim meet. Kole took 1st in the freestyle and Braydon, well, as he put it "I did great, I wasn't even last." He is actually doing really well. He couldn't even swim by himself last summer, and this summer he is swimming laps. Yeah! They are both better swimmers than me, which isn't saying much.
