The day after his birthday it was time to get ready for school.
 The theme for back to school was Lego of course!

 First day at St. Pius

He loves his new school and we are so happy with the decision to send him to Pius!

Working on the house

A few little housing projects around the Stone household

We finally have a real bed in the guest room

My aunt and uncle gave us this bed when we visited for his birthday

Sadly Uncle David passed this month and I am so thankful to have a reminder of him like this in our home

 Some grey chalk paint and it's good to go

Man how I want to change the paint in this room

I envision dark colors but I hate painting walls so it will probably stay this way for awhile

 Cheap Craigs list table for the kitchen nook

It was $30 so obviously it was in pretty rough shape

 Kaleb getting in on some painting action

Some cleaning,sanding,painting,and staining and we have a table

I am having the hardest time finding curtains for this space so send suggestions my way!

 

 Next up is our entry way wall..it was empty

Beadboard was the solution we needed

 Holding up the wall

 All up and getting some paint

The plan is to build a bench and obviously put something on the walls but the change is already great

 Board and batten in the bathroom 

This ended up being kind of a pain but I love it.

Same story here. Need to find hooks and stuff for the walls. 

So that is a few little things we have been fitting in around here.

Currently working on redoing a coffee table so maybe in a month or so I will have that done ;)

If Ned Flanders ran Las Vegas

So I'm very behind with the family updates but hopefully this will be a distraction from the unhappy week our family has had.

End of summer trip to Branson. 

Kaleb's first time on a roller coaster and it's been love ever since.

 Getting ready for more water rides

 Exploring some caves

 Apparently it's Christmas year round

Love the cotton candy 

 An old fashioned ice cream shop

 We spent lots of time at this pool

 Even at night...

 Watching a movie by the pool
