To Do List

Now that our summer visitors are gone and Ruby D's party is over I should have time to finish working on some things around the house. What I would like to get done:

• hang my new stained glass window in my dining room window. I actually just need to buy/install a hook to do this; I just keep forgetting every time I go to Wal-mart.
• wash all of the outside windows. This is just pointless to do right now, because the sprinklers hit the windows every single time Andrew waters the lawn.
• put hooks on both sides of the window hanging in the hall, string twine, and hang my favorite scrapbook layouts.
• spackle the scratches on my breakfast nook table (Andrew cut through garlic bread without a plate underneath it) and touch up with paint.
• organize the master bathroom closet (basically figure out what I want all my scrapbook stuff to go into).
• get baskets to go on the shelf in the laundry room.
• find a new toy box (because the one we have is completely falling apart).

I would eventually like to:

• put in a back splash in the kitchen.

(ohh, pretty)

• have a fence installed in the backyard. 

(pretty much the exact fence I want, pretty much one of the most expensive options out there. My husband would say this doesn't surprise him in the least.)

• replace carpet in the dining room with hardwood.
• have a pocket door/door installed in the master bathroom leading to the closet. 

Unfortunately all of these projects will probably be a long time coming, because they take a lot of money. We don't plan on moving until the girls graduate high school though, so it isn't like we don't have time.
