Changing Things Up

Randy flew to California last Thursday to attend a Conference. He hardly ever travels so it's kind of nice when he does. I think I just like to change things up around here, even though having him gone means I actually have more to do.

For example, I made the kids' lunches on Friday and this is the lovely artwork I came up with for their sacks.

This was Whitney's reaction to my attempts.

I also had to stay up later than usual to go pick up Landon from a friend's house on Saturday night. It's so nice that Randy always does this since he doesn't mind staying up late. I'm usually dead asleep when Landon gets home.

I don't know why having Randy gone made me want to clean the office, but it did. My never-ending goal is to thoroughly clean and organize the office/studio, but it is an overwhelming job because there is so much good stuff  that I don't know what to do with. I don't use a lot of it anymore but don't want to just get rid of it. I keep thinking I'll list stuff on KSL or ebay, but that's a whole other task to tackle. Blah.

I did manage to rearrange and clean the work table in an attempt to free up more work space since Landon does most of his homework in here. Just having this area cleaned up a bit has been a big boost to me.

Whitney's addition to our shopping list cracked me up; she's a phonetic speller.

Here's the sign Whitney made for Randy. He returned home Monday evening and was greeted us standing at the door to welcome him plus we had dinner ready for him. Not too shabby.
