Spring Time Projects

So the KC metro area has this wonderful thing every spring called 'Bulky trash'. For one month every spring sections of the area are allowed to put anything and everything onto the side of the road and the garbage people will pick anything up. However it's not all garbage, for example I was able to get two 6-pane old fashioned windows that still had price stickers on them!!! Each weekend in the month is a different area and last weekend happened to be a "rich" area. I didn't go myself, but sent Daniel instead- i didn't have high hopes. However Daniel did really well! He found a really nice cement pot which I am so excited about, an entertainment center in really good shape and a solid wooden side table! The table was extremely ugly, but I fixed it! I only had white paint and some stain so that what I did, I'll probably change it at a later date (aka when we have money!) but for now it'll do and it turned out surprisingly well!!

Other than that, were just finishing out another PT year (they start in June and end in May), Jada is potty training, and we're getting ready to spend the entire summer in WA!!!!!)
