And the other half of our Pinterest Activities

So I said Samantha and I were working on our Pinterest stuff. While I was downstairs cutting wood and using the nail gun, she was upstairs painting the drywall in the garage. We feel very proud of our creativity and handiness with power tools.

The power tool comment was all about me.

Here is my culmination which includes the stuff I mentioned in my last post and a crate I made to put crap on. So cool.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Samantha was mixing together chalkboard paint (paint and grout) and painting a wall in the garage. Then painting over a "whoopsie!" I think it looks fantastic, by the way. I can't even begin to tell you how tickled I am with the finished product. So tickled, I had to share.

Please. Tell me how amazing we are. Go ahead.

It hurts when sound reaches my eardrums. We drove back home, I turned on the television, brought in the dog, and let the babysitting begin.  I crawled back into bed and swam somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness.  The kids came home from school.  I might have acknowledged them.  I made chicken noodle soup from scratch.  I couldn't even think.  My husband caught me in a sway and asked what he could do.  I grunted some terse instructi...

I Hate Pants

I wrote this on my Facebook page: Makayla just wandered upstairs and found me reading on the sofa, pants discarded, as usual. She laughed at me. I laughed at her. Then I realized that Makayla Jensen is not my daughter. Go home, Makayla! I'm not putting my pants back on just because you are here!  There are now two camps. People who agree with me and people who have absolutely no idea why anybody would discard pants upon entering home. Fortunately, I've found that I'm not in a camp all by myself. I found an article of 10 Reasons Why I Hate Pants: Best summed up by this Venn Diagram sent by Scott's cousin:
