honey do list (1 of 3)

So...I've decided to have a series of posts devoted to completed projects around the house. Not necessarly all of them that I have done...but gently encouraged ( or kicked in the rear-however you want to say it) Mr. G. to do. :) Tee hee.

For many years we had this Strawberry Shortcake Growth Chart that came free with a pair of shoes I bought for Isabella. It was this cheap little paper chart we taped up and reminded ourselves this was just "temperary" That turned into like 8 years. When we moved we carefully took it down, and have it neatly tucked in a box...somewhere.

When I was looking for a more perment solution...I found this at Pottery Barn Kids. Which I love~but HELLO??? $60????? So we were brain storming ways we could simplify it and copy it. D bought a thin sheet of plywood, but it only came in like 4 ft. sections. We were trying to figure out how to make this, and how we would hang it.

Then brilliant man...came up with the idea, instead of using glue, or nails....he should do it in sharpie marker right on the door~marking the inside of the door of a closet in our hallway. He took the door off the hinges....used his anal skills to get perfect lines and stencil looking numbers.....and wah lah~

I LUUUUUVVVVEEE it.

WHAT??? AM I GROWING??? I "thought" I was 5 ft. 6 in. Found out I'm actually 5 ft. 7 in.!

We'll just see what happens over the next 10 years to ol' mom and pop.

Now if I could just figure out where I packed that Strawberry Shortcake Growth chart to transfer all the growth from the last 10 years.

Quote of the day:

While riding in the van....

Jack: "what can we do, I'm bored!" (a clue~he would like to watch a movie)

Donovan: "When mom and I were kids we didn't have DVD's in the car. We just looked out the window.

Jack: "yeah, well you had record players."

Donovan: "You couldn't take those in the car you goober shine."
