Summer Bucket List

We decided that our goal for summer 2012 was going to be an adventure a day, a pin (something I pinned from Pintrest) a week and a home improvement project a month.
As I sit here on August 21 I am happy to say that we were successful in our goal and even exceeded it!!
Some of our adventures will have their own separate posts, other adventures, one picture says enough. Some pictures, have nothing to do with this post but I love them and they are post worthy.

Simon's room is painted

Our room is painted and we got new bedding

Both bedrooms await crown moulding, new lighting and pictures for the walls. Once it is all done I will share the completed project.
Our office has been our project lately. What a huge project it has been. We know why custom builders get paid so well, it's sooooo time consuming and expensive. Here is the progress so far.






Once the office is complete I will share again.
That's all for today, time to pack up and head put on another adventure.
