Freeze Warning:
Issued at: 10:48 AM CDT 10/11/06, expires at: 7:00 PM CDT 10/11/06
Freeze warning remains in effect from midnight tonight to 8 am cdt Thursday. Temperatures will drop into the 20s across all of central Iowa tonight, bringing an end to the growing season. A freeze warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or highly likely. These conditions will kill the remaining sensitive vegetation. NOTE: Also will prevent any chance of exterior painting. (Very strategic, I didn't see that one coming in October!).
The good part about this (tiny bit) of frustrating weather is that I have had time to tackle indoor projects. One thing I love about having a house in constant remodel is that it is always getting bigger. You need storage? Paint a closet and, Voila!
Three weeks ago we finished Ryan's room and moved him upstairs (he had been sleeping in the downstairs den). With that complete, it left this wonderful, empty room that has now become my office! Slowly but surely our house is growing bigger and we are able to unpack boxes. It feels so nice to settle in. Plus, I have an office!I don't think Ryan really gets it yet, as he immediately took over the scheduling of appointments and web surfing. I had to remind him, this was "adult space". He just looked at me and grabbed some of the paperwork on the desk to "re-organize". He is really excited about the new place to store "his pens" and "his stapler."

I hope Ryan is scheduling some time-off for his mommy and daddy to have a date! All work and no play is no fun... but its exciting to hear how the house is coming together!
Sonja, I think he has you guys booked already. I hope your people are keeping in touch with him. He is very serious about his prescheduled appointments.
Tif, he tries to schedule us some mom/dad time, but it always gets sqeezed out by his "play time" or "book reading time" which obviously takes priority.
You guys are so thoughtful........making Grandson Ryan his own "lets play school" room. I can just see that baby scooting his "sitting boxes" in and arranging them against the wall for his "guest" to sit on, ha.
That must be so fun to get more and more established. Way to go on conquering another room! From the one corner that we could see in the pic it looks nice. I think you have a more simplistic approach to decorating, which I appreciate. I try to keep our house that way and it works most of the time. :)
