Smithsonians: Writing on the Walls

Wow! Today was a busy day. Warning...I have a lot of pictures today that my kids are the only ones who will probably care about them. We did have a really fun day. I started out running four miles. I ran down to the graveyard. It was my niece Jessica's birthday. I ran to the graveyard with a Happy Birthday balloon to put on her grave. I bet I looked quite silly. The next item on the list was cleaning the bathrooms. Okay, not the kids favorite, but Preston seemed to have fun.

Blurry picture, but seriously, how can you not love it?

We spent most of the day working in the boys' room. We took the wood that we peeled off the ceiling of Mike's old house and started putting it on the boys' walls. Stockton asked if they could write on the walls we were going to cover. He said he got the idea from my blog. How cool I thought it was to see 'This wall wood' under the wood we peeled off. The kids kept imagining someone taking off the wood years from now. They spent hours doing this. At least they enjoyed themselves!

I had to put this picture on here, for obvious reasons.

The kids also put activities on the wall. Preston said that was a good idea, so whoever took the wood down would have some fun activities to do. Awesome.
