Some finished projects...

Here is our family room in the basement. My friend Val came last week and painted the floor. The room has shrunk in size because the wood stove is going in the far right corner and we are trying to separate the room from the rest of the basement. It worked great for a movie night and devotions Saturday. We want to put pine siding on the far white wall so that isn't finished at all. It was the last carpet in the basement and it was covered in mold when we took it out. It is a relief to have it done (well mostly). We tried to get to it all winter.
Here is our finished flag. We finally got the stars painted and Kevin used caulk to stick them to the building. Now if the birds will quit building nests under the eaves and dropping things everywhere!

We have five days to clean and make food for the graduation. It feels like a million things to do. Today we have some specific cleaning projects and some baking. It rained this morning and forced us inside. That is a good thing for me because when I start weeding or working in the garden I find I can't leave. It forced me to tackle some indoor projects. I've got little girls washing walls and doors and such and normally I would be too obsessive/compulsive to let them do it for fear they wouldn't get it quite right but I'm not going to let that bother me even though someone tipped over a bucket of water on the carpet! :(
