The floor is DONE!

The Brain finished the floor today!
Now all that is left is 
painting the accent wall,
putting in the trim,
waiting for the furniture to arrive,
and getting the house back in order!
Almost there!

On another note...
Earlier today I had to go to Dubuque to order new track/cross country spikes for my daughter and we came home to this!

About 3 inches of snow!  I don't think Mother Nature got the message that Spring is supposed to be here.  I think I will send her another one!! 

Kitty Quilt

Among all the crazy that has been going on around here, I managed to finish my sister's Kitty Quilt!  Her birthday was Saturday and I put the last stitches in the binding around 11 pm on Friday night.
The only place to take a picture,with every other room messed up, was in our entryway.  My daughter was the quilt holder...

The back has kitties too...

Busy!

These last couple of days have been crazy busy!  Yesterday we had madrigal competition, a track meet and a Basketball Championship Tournament, all in three different towns... This is how we ended the day...First Place!

My son

After all this we went out to dinner to celebrate and then to Menard's for more supplies for the living room remodel.

Caution: Under Construction!!!

Over here at the Jeni B house it has been crazy with our schedules, work and everyday life...so why not throw in a living room remodel to make things a little more interesting!  So a couple of weeks ago we picked out new furniture, flooring, an area rug and paint colors and jumped right in!

Here's the before, keep in mind, I have four kids and four dogs!


Then we tore out the carpet and painted...


My sewing room has become a messy storage room!
You can see my new floor in the bottom left!  Hopefully tonight we can start on the new floor, fingers crossed!
