Day driving 3 and gettting to the condo in Florida!

This was advertising star wars weekend at Disney World

The most important part of any condo!!! whirlpool tub

our balcony.  We requested to be here, even though it's by the interstate but we could see the fireworks every night from Epcot and Magic Kingdom

That triangle you can see in the background is part of Disney

driving day 2

this is me taking peanut butter for my purse for the car =)don't worry it was individually packaged, not  spoonfuls in a baggie

pipe cleaner creativity was a good thing for the kids to do with their hands while we were driving

bridge over the Mississippi River

These might be hard to see but it is the motor speedway

 

and happy to stop again at the end of the day.  Last time we stopped in Ft. Smith Arkansas, this time it was in Alabama.  Somewhere.

first of MANY Disney posts

Day one: in the carI made lots of things to entertain them

and this is what they did the whole way

thrilling drive

so happy to be stopped!!!

sleeping arrangements

Ryan trying to wake me up in the morning

 not working too well

ready to load up on continental breakfast and drive some more!

closet

We have decided to refinance the house as the rates are so low right now.  We have to get a new appraisal, so we decided to put up a quick closet off of Isabelle's room, so it can officially be counted as a bedroom, bc right now it isn't considered one.  Plus putting the bathroom downstairs should give us a higher appraisal which will help with the loan of course.

Ryan took the door off that is there currently and flipped it around so it opens inside the room.  Right now it opens the other way and hits the venting duct work on the other side 

Gideon tried to help for a while.  then he got distracted, but the intention was there.  I kept calling him back asking if he was still helping or not

What was a weekend project took an extra day because Ryan used a sick day from house projects =)  He got really ill on sunday for some reason, but we finished it up on Monday instead

All of the sheet rock is up and putting on the light switch plate

Isabelle in her "finished" closet.  The hanging bar is to the left and will have a high bar and a shorter half bar so one side is for dresses and then shirts can go top and bottom.  Behind where Isa is standing now Ryan wants to put up shelving or a shoe rack type structure.  But for now that's all that's needed for the appraisal to consider it a useable closet which makes the room an official bedroom.  Mud, tape, paint, etc. will come later.  Probably after Isabelle goes to college.  because let's face it, it's just a basement closet right?

nice spring day

As we are on our trip, here is a nice backyard day we had at home before we left

picnic dinner in the grass

games (playing with sticks and dead leaves that are piled up and I'm ashamed to admit have been there since the fall)

and of course my plant hopefuls
