We've been pretty busy getting the house unpacked and put back together these past few months. Every weekend seems to find us at Ho' Depot (as D would say) and with a looooong list of projects. I usually can't stand to have things left unfinished for long, but thankfully the fact that absolutely nothing in this house is "Done" isn't driving me crazy yet. It's hard to get all the things done that I envision in my head with the kiddos around. But considering they aren't going anywhere anytime soon, I thought I would go ahead and share with you the To Do list which is constantly being added to and updated. We'll start with the downstairs in this post. If you want a reminder of what the house looked like when we first moved in (craziness and all) you can go to this post here.

So that's the downstairs plan... Once I can get some pictures of upstairs, we'll move on to Part 2 of the To Do List saga.
I love the play room! Not to discourage you, but I feel like nothing in our house is "done" either and its been 2 years. Hah! I'm kidding, but there are definitely a few rooms that I don't think will ever get done! Our office still isn't fully unpacked... it has been a mess of boxes since day 1!
