I've been using the weekends to work on decorating Ashley's room in a back yard theme.  It's turning out really nice, but I don't want to spoil the effect with pictures before it's complete.  There's a lighthouse cove, picket fences, trees, a rose garden and a sky complete with fluffy clouds.  I'll need construction help with Phase III, so I won't be able to call it complete until a little after Thanksgiving.  
In true Sherilyn fashion, I have been focusing every available scrap of time and attention on her room. . .  and the beautiful house I worked so hard to clean this summer is falling down around my ears again. 
A quote from last night: "And now I have the unfortunate task of laying out clothes for children who have no clean laundry."
It's not too far gone, though.  This weekend will be a cleaning weekend. . .  (no matter how compelled I feel to finish the arbor over Ashely's window).
More description and pictures to come. . .  
But now it's time for me to go hurry up and wait in line for the first 
pick-up of the day :)
