Birthday surprises

Kerrie is turning 12 this week! As part of her gift she is allowed to get her ears pierced. We were at Walmart last night and decided to surprise her with getting it done a few days early. So.......
One VERY happy girl

With adorable birthstone butterfly earrings filling two more holes in her head

In other news, the drum on the dryer quit turning on Saturday....the upside is that I was able to get a repairman to come out here tomorrow morning!
For today we are painting Lex's old room and beginning the process of turning it into a library/office. This process will overflow into a masterbedroom partial makeover as well as turning the side bedroom into a workout space. With workout equipment in the house I will then have a spot in the craft building for my herbal crafts.

I am continuing to work toward my goal of running a 5k. The process is slow but it's going. Kids are nearly done with this year's schooling. The kitten needs to be renamed Mischief. And my project list seems to be growing instead of shrinking.
Life continues to never be dull....wouldn't have it any other way!
