Getting the house done- but no pictures.

Well I have been getting alot done with the remodel stuff in the past week.My wish is to just take pictures of it all to show everyone,but alas my teenage duaghter has borrowed my camera.So I will try to tell you alittle about what has gotten done.

To start with we are getting our new carpet in the main part of the house on the 10th of september.So we wanted to get all the rooms painted before the carpet comes.

We started with the boys room .Dad let them pick colors a dark red(which by the way took 4 coats of red to get it to look nice) for the bottom half of wall and a lighter blue for top half.Then we picked a wall paper border trim that would work even as they get older.It is sports with balls,bats,gloves .So now I would like to find some nice sports posters to put on there wall to make it a real neat sports room.Mybe even put a bat ,ball,and mit on wall.Any suggestions would be great.

Then we have put new tile entry at front door and new tile under wood stove that match.It is a kind of brownish red tile that is big squares, like we did in the bathroom.

I have chose to try doing 2 different colors in the living room.One is called Brown Bag and is a pretty dark brown.That is on 2 of the walls and I think it turned out alittle darker than I thought it would be but think it will have to do.The other color is called Bonjour Beige and is a dark cream,and I will be putting it on the wall today .I also get to paint the living room celien(don't think I spelled that right .lol ) today .

So as soon as I get my camera back which will be after the big Oregon campout that everyone is talking about I will get some pictures of everything that is done .Can't wait ! By then I will also be done with Myla and Melissa room .They have chosen to paint with a light purple ,then on top of that we i will try our luck at hand prints .We will be doing hand prints in colors red,yellow,blue,white. If anyone has ever done this before let me know .We are going to attempt to do it using the little kid kind of gloves on the hands .Hope it works!

So pictures coming sooooon!!!

Deloris it is.

Well it is kind of a different name Deloris.






Here are the rules:1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts.2. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of their middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.3. At the end of your blog-post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag.






This is alittle harder then the last tag thingie but here goes.





D for driven to keeping a good house and being a good wife .





E enjoy the brothern and family and freinds.





L is for loving my husband and kids .And loving the Lord our God with all my heart.

Now I just have a little problem there is not anyone on my blogs that I know that has letters D E LORI so the only ones I can tag with are Sabrina

Tagged just like everyone!

Well I was tagged like everyone else ,it has just taken me along time to get something posted.Now everyone that I know has already been tagged so I am just going to post my info ,but not tag anyone hope that is okay.



#1 fact :I grew up with 5 brothers and no sisters.Thank goodness for sister-in-laws.We all were named with "M" names you all know us but her goes anyway,Marshall,Mark,Me,Micheal,Monte and Matthew and ofcourse we had a M last name too,McManus.





#2 fact:Meet my wonderful husband Brian when we were 15 started dating at 16,dated for almost 4 years.Have been married 17 years ,October 27th 1990.We wanted alot of kids then but after the first 3 I don't think they were planned.But we love them anyway.I myself would like another baby, but I think I like them as babies so much better than when they grow up.



#3 fact:We have 6 children. I can count the times that I had morning sickness on about 7 or 8 fingers.I just was not sick like most mothers.I enjoyed being pregant and I my self thought my labor having them was not bad at all the longest was about 12 hour .But hard labor was only about an hour .I would like another baby ,but we have talked and don't think it is really in the plan.Unless god thinks other ways.



#4 fact; We live in a very small assembly of 4 families and a single brother.I am very lonsome for some one to talk to and share things with.I am very thankfull for this blog thing,even if some people think the computer is not a good thing.I think it has kind-of brought all of us sister that are doing this alittle closer.We do have a family that has desided to move here and we are very happy.(dale & chantel and andy ,thanks).



#5 fact:I don't really care to have any animals.We have had dogs and chickens and rabbits at different times.Our kids like it at first then get bored with it and you end up taking care of them or they are to much trouble for getting someone to watch evertime you want to go some where.



#6 fact : Most of you know we are adding on to our home and remodeling at the same time .It is alot of work ,when trying to do it mostly all by yourself.We are really starting to get some things finished up and I will be posting some pictures soon.



# 7 fact: I wish some one would have told me that life goes by so quikly.We feel like we are getting so old ...haha. 2 teenagers,1 with drivers permit.She also talks on phone to one certain guy every night,what does that mean.We just can't beleive that if you think about it we all could be grandparents in just amatter of a few years.

I don't think I am ready for this.



#8 fact: So my last fact is that I love having company ,being with the brethern,going to campouts,family and freinds.I love this blogging thing too ,it seems like it could bring all us sisters closer to each other.Thanks to everyone that has joined us.



well I thought I would have trouble doing that but when I sat down with pen and paper and thought it out first I just kept coming up with more things I could write . So it was fun.but I don't have anyone to tag ,so I guess that ends it.
