Happy Chaos

Well, it's been quite the week, and we are all a little weary.  Yesterday was a long, hard day of putting back together two rooms and then immediately undoing two others.  (E-books are looking better and better...)  But in the middle of all this, some sunshine burst in and brought giggles and refreshment.  Rachael came home from school yesterday afternoon as we were starting to dismantle her bedroom.  We couldn't believe how much stuff she packed in there!  She firmly believes in preparedness, though I'm not sure what random pamphlets stuffed in between the books on her bookshelf have to do with being prepared.  And then there was the back of her door, and her closet, and under the bed...the list goes on and on.  E.v.e.r.y square inch of space was utilized, and the whole time I was wondering how everything was going to go back in!  All this brought about much laughter from her sisters and mother who continued packing box after box and carrying load after load down the stairs.  Then in the middle of all this, we suddenly heard, "Mom?  Where do I put this???"  When I turned around this is what greeted my eyes:


All this has been hanging on the back of her bedroom door (minus the hat box).   Ahh!  Another puzzle to solve...

True it's been a lot of work, but the end result is rewarding!  The new flooring is beautiful and so soft.  We thank the Lord for what He has provided for us!


The old and the new.


Our new bedroom!
