Lego Table

From $5 Coffee table I picked up from a curb sale to a Lego table.

(Insert before picture here...when I find it, oops!) FOUND! 11/2/13



After thoroughly sanding. 

 Probably more thorough than needed since I wasn't refinishing it with a natural color.  I was experimenting with the sander for future projects.  It was also a dark paint.  Nice design comes through.

Family Outing at the Museum

We usually pass up museum or zoo passes.  There weren't any other deals or very many freebies, so I broke down and got a museum pass.  Our family no longer has anyone underage (free), so the museum pass pays for itself in one and a half visits.  David wasn't so sure about my purchase.  I made this decision on my own.  We went and he agreed I made a good decision.  It helps that the museums are in an old train station.  He turned into a big kid and loved it just as much!  We love the museums. Our kids are starting to vary in interest, so it is more challenging to keep everyone in one place and happy.  Different attention spans or levels of interest.  It was a great weekend!

Hope Ya Know, We Had a Hard Time

A few days last week I woke up with an attitude to make it a great day.  My thought was, "today will be gone tomorrow...how are you going to make it count?"  By Friday evening I was ready for Sunday to start anew.  I obviously didn't hold tight to my optimistic attitude.
