Seven More Games....

Maddie's first time in goal :)


Last time in his Gators uniform. Victoria's new desk...didn't Mark do a great job on the wall?


Before....old patio door
New, beautiful wood patio door with built in blinds!
Before
After...my scrapbook room

Yes, between the 3 kids, we had seven games this weekend. Madalyn was in a soccer tournament and played two games Saturday & two games Sunday. This was the first week she played in goal and she did really well. I'm so proud of her. Her team came in Third, so not bad. Victoria had two soccer games this weekend. She got to play on Saturday night on the High School field under the lights. Unfortunately, my pictures didn't come out too well :( Alex had his final football game as a Gator. They were undefeated this season, so needless to say he was happy.

Last week, we had our new windows and patio door installed. It looks Wonderful!!! It's amazing that in four days, all windows were cut out, installed and then framed out with wood trim. The downside, I need to find all new window treatments. The wood is just too beautiful to drill holes into, so I'm on the lookout for alternatives.

Mark finished painting Victoria's bedroom last week. He says never again will he paint multi colored stripes on a wall. The desk was from our recent trip to IKEA. Love that store. We still need to put of shelves and pictures, etc. but at least the painting is done.

On the scrappin' side of things, I've been working on a scrapbook for a client. I have 10 pages done and 3 more to complete in book number one. She wants books two & three completed before Christmas :)
