The ONE Wall Designated for Display (and bookshelf underneath).

This I've learned: If you let kids...they'll take over the house.

We have pictures, photos, projects, etc. scattered about the house, but this is the major spot to post and acknowledge creativity, hard work, and activities. Here and in the 2 Rubbermaid tubs, one Sterlite container, 6 baskets, 3 bookshelves, and 2 closets...oops. Top of a 3rd closet. Geesh. I cannot throw away ANY of Emily's work/drawings. I need a support group.

I've got 2 current science experiments on the kitchen counter.
One is a glass measuring cup w/vinegar and chicken bones -- to show what happens to bones if "you don't drink YOUR MILK!" Yep. I'm slick. I know it. (The bones become bendable/breakable.)

Another one is two small glass jars w/food coloring. Sitting in the coloring are white carnations. Well, they WERE white. Now they're red and yellow. This allows Emily to see how plants absorb water through an inside system of a plant.

Can't believe that a year has passed. So happy for your beautiful family.

I couldn't throw away anything either...until it got too much. Now I take pictures of the better works of art, and post them to my blog for all eternity.

Makes me feel very high-tech.
