So, my mom is not the kind to pick a "word of the year" and have it stamped into a necklace. This is no critique on those who are or who aren't the type to do this...although I haven't done it either I love the idea of it all. My mom just doesn't fit in this camp. So I was so surprised when my she said to me one day "I have chosen two words for this year FINISH IT! I am so sick of half done projects around here!" So I teased her about having that stamped in silver dangling with a pearl. Then my dad pipped up and said "I think FINISH SHIT would be more motivating". Which is so my dad, I have never heard him cuss in anger or pain but he is not above adding it for humors sake. I so love him for that.
I still think I should have the second phrase stamped in silver with a pearl for my mom. After all, she is the one who taught me that a job isn't done until the tools are put away and the room is cleaned. Really guys, all my bad habits are no fault of bad parenting.
So here is a post about trying to FINISH IT!!
Painting trim....purposely took a picture of a non-perfect part. 3 areas done, 4 areas to go.
Bub's kindergarten word wall. He is reading like a boss these days, his goal is to memorize all 107 of the first words.
Trying to bring back family reading time. The boys and I read Charolette's Web for the 3rd time since Soren was too young last time around (and it's one of my top 10 favorite books).
Now as a whole family we are reading Island of the Blue Dolphins. 10 chapters away from finishing it.
Started this project 3 years ago. BAM! FINISHED!
Miriam is one weekend away from finishing her embroidery project.
Darin made a bike rack for the garage...working on another one.
He is also riding to work pretty consistently rain, wind, or shine.
Bub always has an on-going piece of artwork. He won't let me clean them up until they are finished which takes awhile, holy moly look at the detail!
