First Day of School...

The day before school started, I ate the last of my summer peach crop.  :(  There was a good crop and we ate a ton.  We ate peaches with breakfast, a side for lunch and dinner, and anytime anyone wanted a snack.  We gave away a fair amount too because I just wasn't in the mood to do any ambitious canning.

And then we had the first day of school!  I had a shower and popped out of my room at 7:30 a.m.  All 3 kids were outside my door, dressed, hair done, backpacks and shoes on!  I said, "Let's get some breakfast."  They informed me that they had already made and eaten their breakfast.  I guess they don't even need me anymore.  Such big kids!  I have a 5th, 2nd, and 1st grader.  All 3 are going to be gone all day.  It might be the only thing that keeps me sane once baby #5 gets here.

The same day as school starting, paint started on the basement.  We're having Merril's friend, Brent, help us.

Merril was the "door holder" while Brent sprayed.  

They came out gorgeous!  My only fear is that I'm going to look at my grungy doors upstairs and want to repaint them.

Walls are next!
