Read and Finished Harry Potter-now want to start the entire series again, but not sure if I can survive long with only 4 hours of sleep a night.
Entered aprons, kids drawings, pears, cookies and veggies into the Hood River County Fair. The kids made $10 each. I made a piddly $2. We went to the Fair last Wednesday night. Rick had a church meeting, I asked if he would take Cristine, but he declined. Why did I have to take all of them to my Primary Meetings? Anyway I took all four. We had a great time, met up with some friends, they watched Cristine so I could go on a few rides. The fair is small but fun, same rides, same exhibits, same scary ride operators and great food! Love the taco stands!
Friday I decided to change the sheets on our bed. I think we must be the last people on earth to still have a water bed. While lifting the mattress to tuck in the sheet, the seam split and water poured out. Rick helped me drain the mattress, then we threw it out the window. Later that day we went to Portland to pick out a new mattress. We decided on a Sleep Number bed. We are now sleeping on an air mattress and awaiting the arrival of our new bed. For now we will be using our old 70's style frame, but the plan is to eventually upgrade to a newer bed, preferably one with storage under it! It is exciting to get a new bed, but it wiped out my kitchen flooring money. We are now going to go with bamboo flooring instead of the more expensive hard-wood we've been looking at.
Also in new furniture news, we were given a new futon for our family room. Our old old couch finally found it's way to the burn pile.
This morning I asked Peter to drink the last bit of milk left in the plastic gallon. I handed him a glass and the almost empty jug. I turned back to see him drinking from the jug. Once finished, he wiped his hand across his mouth and exclaimed, "I drank that just like Daddy drinks orange juice." Glad we're teaching our kids such good habits!

What a week! Read/finished a book, made a couple bucks, went to a fair, and got a new bed??? I have the Wonder Woman theme song going through my head right now! :)
Congrats on your new bed. I hope it works out great (I've heard they are great).
I'm not done with my HP book yet. I am making it last.
I don't want it to go away.
Sounds like a great week! Congrats on the new bed.
Milk seems to go bad here really quickly, so that last inch or so almost always goes down the drain. it's sooooo expensive!
Yay for a new bed. I think the bamboo floors are so beautiful, and eco-friendly! I love that Peter ratted out his dads habit o drinking from the juice carton, busted! Kids don't miss anything!
New bed? That's wonderful. I like the idea of storage underneath a bed too. Hope you get your new floor soon too, Heather. Sorry about the old couch but it had many years of good wear. Love you, mom
Big week!
I love the HR fair. It's the only county fair I can remember ever going to. Fun!
A new bed sounds fabulous. I can't say I'm sorry to see the end of your waterbed. Those creep me out for some reason! You should look at beds from IKEA for storage options and for cheap price. They won't be heirloom quality, but they do have cute things and they use space very creatively for storage.
I like bamboo flooring a lot. I hope it comes soon! You are patient to wait.
And Rick is so busted on drinking his orange juice from the carton! How funny is Peter!?
Dea-sometimes I seem to get lots done, other times I'm like a slug!
NCS-I admire you ability to read HP slowly. I tried, then was able to spend most of one day reading.
Wendy-How much is milk a gallon? Here it was on sale last week for $2.99, or $5.49 if you bought 2.
Anna-only problem with the bamboo is we'd counted on 3/4 inch flooring and it is only 5/8 so there will be a bit of an edge when walking into other rooms. Hope we don't stubb our toes
Mom-love you too!
Mary-IKEA just opened here last week. I've been itching to go, but must wait until it isn't so crazy. I've been waiting so Rick can check out their tables and chairs, now we'll have to look at beds too.
