Rock 'n' Roll Hello Kitty

This weekend, Haylie had 2 birthday parties to go to. Here she is dressed up and feeling rock 'n' roll before going to her friend Hilda's party.

This week we got our closets put together and everything in place in them. Now our room feels organized. We even put up the first picture frames since we moved. Busy organizing the storage room and the guest room today. I mostly feel like I am moving crap around more than anything else. I did get 3 boxes of old clothes sorted for goodwill, but now it is a matter of getting them out of the house as well. I went for a walk in the woods and other than a bit of a breeze, it is a nice day. We are having the first of several housewarming parties next Saturday, this one for the family. So the rest of the week we will be working on cleaning and getting ready for that.

This was March 25th. As the snow started melting away, the stuff left from building the house under it became visible. We have spent the past few weekends burning and driving stuff to the recycling center. Now the snow and the trash are gone, just leaving mud, wildly growing thorny shrubbery, and piles of rocks behind. But that is natural at least. Last weekend we got Haylie's trampoline put up for the spring, and she got out her bike and has been riding a little on our street. She has been collecting Ladybugs and worms as we do yardwork and letting them jump on the trampoline with her or having them swing on her tree swing.

On Easter Sunday, we were at Stefan's mom's for dinner. Haylie and her cousins painted Easter eggs.

We got our bathroom light fixture and Stefan put that and the mirror up on Thursday night.

It is called Curling Classo from Belid.

Stefan has been working on all sorts of projects today, the biggest one being putting up the sliding closet doors from Mirro, which he picked up this morning. He is working on the one in Haylie's room as I write this.

The one in the hall is the same as in Haylie's room. It made the hall seem so much less cluttered as soon as the coats were behind doors.

He even put up some hooks at Haylie height.

I put away the Easter stuff today and put this on the table instead. The bowl reminds me of Grandpa Lloyd. It used to sit next to his chair where he would sit and take turns between sleeping and muttering to himself, so it reminds me of him. The Hardanger beneath is one my Grandma Delores made.
