The apron Eric and family gave me!

Left the kids house about 1200 on Sunday after they got home from Tahoe. Sounded like a good time was had by all!  Probably too good of a time for Eric...but it'd been years since he's seen his old friends.  Bryan and Cheryl had come by to take Adam out to lunch for his great report card, so I headed towards Placerville and home.  

That morning I made the kids pancakes, sausage and eggs.  Then about 1000 Seth decided he was ready to cut the cake and celebrate his 12th birthday.  His birthday, his cake so why not?! 

Did a little grocery shopping in Gardnerville and got home about 1630 or so.  

Monday, we headed for Fernley and Lowe's and picked up some brick for the woodstove in the livingroom and some other stuff.  

Ken's got the wall opened up in the livingroom and alot of work goes into just getting ready to do what needs to be done, to get the wall ready for the stove and bricks.  I am so impressed!  

We decided to go ahead and order the Rustic Cedar panelling and so my livingroom is progressing.  It's free delivery so hopefully we'll get it sometime next week.  Need to decide what color to paint some of the walls we'll be leaving (not panelling) but this is the fun part!  

Taking the Ford into Reno on Tuesday, because the weather is getting colder and it's hard starting.  

This Sunday we'll head for Sacramento for the night, Jacob is having his birthday party then and we're planning on bringing the yard art home on Monday.
