More Home Improvements

0 comments Posted by The McMillins at 1:12 AM

I painted Zach's room all by myself! It was a big job.... especially since I did most of it while Corey was at work and I was home with all 3 kids by myself. Zach is such a big help, though. I'm so happy that I painted his room. I got new curtains and a new light for his room as well. I would LOVE to build him a nice wooden bunkbed but that probably won't happen for a couple of years. He's been saving up his allowance money for a TV. He's just about ready to buy one. It will look so nice in his room. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to buy one of those semi-large dry erase boards to hang on his walls. It would be really good for school but kind of tacky looking w/ his decor.

We decided to go ahead and tile the downstairs AND the kid's bathroom. We are so glad that we did! It looks so much better. Plus, when you do something big like that, you end up cleaning your house real good. We went through a bunch of stuff and sold some stuff on ebay. I'd really like to paint Zach's bathroom but I'm kind of sick of painting after doing the downstairs bathroom and Zach's bedroom. I think I'll take a break for a while.... maybe. :)

My next big project is to get caught up on all of these photos that I have and to update both Leah and Luke's baby books. Yes.... I have a baby book for Luke as well. I can't leave him out just because he's #3!! :)

Beach.... Time

0 comments Posted by The McMillins at 11:41 PM

Last weekend was our first time to the beach this year. We all love going to the beach and have been waiting for the weather to be warm enough to go. It's definitely warm enough now!! Unfortunately, Corey forgot to bring the sand toys but he did bring a shovel. So.... at least there was something to do in the sand! :)

We are thinking about investing in one of those beach carts. We go to the beach so much that it would probably be a good investment. You should see all of us carrying everything (including babies) to go out to the beach. Last weekend we ended up staying out there for about 3 hours. It's so relaxing to go to the beach, and then come home and take a shower. Then you want to take a nap when you get home!

We're hoping to go to the beach this weekend also but we've had a lot going on. We had tile put in in the downstairs (kitchen, hallway, bathroom, laundry room and foyer) as well as Zach's bathroom upstairs. We thought it would only take a couple of days but it's taken all week. Our house has been in disarray because of it. So, we are looking forward to putting it all back together again.

Along with the tile being done has come lots of cleaning! I've put lots of stuff on ebay and now have to go mail it at the post office (which is a huge job w/ 3 children by itself!). Glad we are getting rid of lots of stuff and even making some money on some of it! :)
