I am waiting for the shutter installers to appear. It took all yesterday morning to prep for them. Then spackle in the holes, paint, dust, move furniture ... you get the picture! I told Mark I feel as if I've spent my whole summer vacation chasing dust bunnies! I am really sick of cleaning so I'm taking today off. I am delighted that a dear friend who has the same floor plan as us is going to use the custom window treatments and bedding so we'll redo her room when her husband goes on travel!

Sent Connor out with Ryan yesterday as each football player has 15 restaurant coupon "sheets" to sell as their only fundraiser. Ryan, being very shy, is beside himself at having to do this but its right up Jabber Jaws' alley! We only have 4 to go so they'll try again this afternoon.

Kelleigh has been busy reading. Wednesday she read the entire Twilight book and yesterday she read all but 5 pages of the next one, New Moon. She's very annoyed with me that I won't let her continue with the series but my friend said it gets a little too graphic with the sex scenes and she won't let her same-age daughter read it. I didn't read past the first book so I trust her judgment. Now Kell wants me to find her another series to read so we'll visit the Library later today. Wish the reading bug would rub off on her big brother! Connor finished Uncle Tom's Cabin and is reading Call of the Wild now. He is also an awesome reader and loves a variety of books.

I have a new stamp catalog to look through so will chat more later!
