Makeover night

Good morning.  I hope you had a great weekend.  We enjoyed our time with Nick.  The kids love it when he comes home.  I was excited to show him all the progress I've gotten done with the house.  Unfortunately, he was only pleased for 5.3 seconds.  I can't win.  But, I'm trying.  And, that's all I can do.  Storage is our problem in this house.  I went to Ikea last week to pick up some solutions to this problem, but of course couldn't get the boxes upstairs by myself.  So, they weren't put together yet and the items placed appropriately.  Nick helped me take the boxes up yesterday before he left and I have one shelf left to assemble.

Our storage problems reminds me of our home in Nebraska.  The rooms were smaller there and we had to figure out storage solutions.  We did.  It just took time.  I'm adding shelving to the kids' closets today, so that should help with their bins of toys.  I'm looking at options for the master closet too.  It's a great size closet, but it lacks storage options.  It's basically a large-long room with one row of wire shelving.  So, I'm looking to either add another row of shelving, add storage cubes under the hanging clothes, or add a row of hanging shelves to put folded clothing on.

Xander was my assembly helper.

Our desks.  They won't stay in this configuration, but they are up.

After dinner the kids and I had a makeover party.  I was told I looked like I died.

Xander did her hair and lipstick.  I put a smiley face on her forehead ;)

Ultimate Warrior.  I think he had the most fun.  But maybe Sterling and I had the most laughs doing his face.  It was hilarious him letting us doll him up too.  He gets the good sport award.

They wanted to party to continue, but I had some things to clean up in the kitchen, so they painted.

Xander realized he missed Double Dare and all of a sudden he had the "worst day ever."

Being a mom is some fun, hard work.  Always hearing how horrible a day is because they can't have something.  Or listening to all the bickering between them two is insane.  They are typical kids.  Love/hate relationship, every few minutes.  My favorite is when "she's looking at me" because "he's looking at me"  😂  I know this season won't last forever, so I take it with a grain of salt.

Have a great day!
