A Birthday Party & A Completion....

A nice weekend! Shane had indoor soccer on Saturday morning and then a birthday party on Saturday afternoon---a full day that wore him out and made bedtime quite pleasant. John Stephen Shaw turned 5 and to celebrate he invited his friends to join him for a good old fashioned backyard football game. Mother Nature was not having that, as it rained and poured all day Saturday--so, they played indoors at the high school gym. "Coach Brandon" from the YMCA came and led the kids in the football game. They absolutely love him (he's Shane's indoor soccer coach as well) and he has the patience of Job....It was so much fun watching them...Shane has never played football before, so this was new territory for him. All the kids put on their helmets and had a blast! They looked like little bobble heads running all over the gym. After the game, we all headed back to John Stephen's house for some delicious cake and ice cream. It was a great day!

While Shane & I were at the indoor soccer game on Saturday morning, Rob & my dad were hard at work laying the bamboo flooring in Shane's room and the guest room....you can imagine my surprise when I got back to the house at 1:30pm and both rooms were just about done! I was shocked--they worked so hard and the end result is BEAUTIFUL! Sunday, Rob & I headed back up to Poplar Grove and put the baseboards in the guest room, Rob hung the doors and the ceiling fan and we finally have a finished room!!! :) It feels so good to see all the hard work paying off. My next project may be building a headboard for the guest bed....stayed tuned for that one!
