Sorting

We have been having storage problems for a while now. Our one book shelf is completely full. Some shelves are double stacked which I don't like because then you can't see what you have. Many of the newer games we've bought where starting to stack up by the tv, threatening to cover part of the screen and movies were no better. Today we spent sorting all the games and movies and but them into storage books. I love them. Now we can store about 160 games or movies in one spot and they are really easy to browse. We decided to keep manuals but toss all cases. With the exception of a few movies that had nice cases we fit all of them in. We are however also going to need one case for kids movies. I think we can buy one that is about half the size though. It feels a lot neater in the living room now. If only I could stash my knitting somewhere then that room would totally be spiffed up!

Great Weekend

We went to the Renaissances Faire over by Gilroy this weekend with the Elwailly's. The weather was perfect, pleasantly warm with a nice cool breeze. This year we saw jousting. It was awesome. We saw one other comedian/variety show as well. For lunch we ate many kinds of meat on sticks, lol. John and I did not buy anything this year but all the boys bought swords and shields, except Derek who thought dual wielding would be cool and got 2 swords. Max loves getting his face painted so he decided to spend extra allowance to be a pirate. Arrrrrrrrrg!!!!

I got the camera working! Well John had a lot to do with that. Now I will start putting up more pictures.

Here is the blanket. Since this picture I have another dark set of rows done. I'd say I'm almost 20% done. I've been working on it at night because as it gets larger, it also gets hotter, LOL. I guess that is a good sign ;)
