Last flight with hubby for 2010

 We had a beautiful flight!

 We headed to Mt. Baker and went all the way around the mountain, which I had never done before!

 Mt. Rainier in the distance from my window. (I zoomed in to get this shot)

 Flying at about 12,000 feet!

 Can you see the steam holes in the lava dome?

 Headed back to the bay!

Happy New Year! Did you have big plans?

Closet organization

I spent all day yesterday pulling everything out of three closets I have in my hallway. This fall cleaning/organizing is getting a little out of control! =) Oh well, it keeps me sane! hehe! I think?!

Anyway, I pulled everything out, so of course that meant the house was now a disaster! I had to come up with a plan to put it all back, but organized!

I put all like things together in piles on the floor, cleaning supplies, paper products, dishes, candles etc...

I made a pile of things to go to Goodwill, and the garage (all those canning jars!) and a garbage pile.

I sat down with my notebook, to sketch out my idea. If I don't do this, I get sidetracked! Plus I needed a list for my trip to Target.

This was my idea for the end of the hallway closet. So off to Target I went to get 6 plastic containers, and some of those space bags!

Ahhh, much better... but NOT cute. I would have liked to have gotten some cute baskets or colored tubs like I have been seeing in blogland, but my budget didn't allow it. These were $5.00 each, and the perfect size. Unfortunately, Target only had four, so I made that work, then headed down to the studio for some stuff to cutesy up my boring tubs.

Here they are all cutesy! Some 12x12 decorative paper, paper scraps, ribbon and a few buttons =)

Here is a close up. Easy peasy!

They have little tags with a general description of what's inside. When the hubby came home from work I showed him all my hard work and my cute bins, I don't think he got it... but I am happy!

Then we headed to the airport so he could do a little work on the plane.

Doesn't he look awful happy about a tire? I don't get it, but he's happy! *giggle* We spent a few hours with the plane then he took me to dinner!

It was delish!

It is Friday, yay! The hubby gets off at 10:30 today! I am hoping he will get some of my honey do's done today before we head down to work on the airplane. I am packing us a picnic dinner tonight, so it won't be 9:00 pm before we eat like last night.

Have a great Friday!

A day spent with the hubby!

I had to break out the boots yesterday! Yay! Means FALL is really here!

We had a rainy Sunday. Normally, we would stay home, have tea, I would read while the hubby dozed and "watched" the history channel. Maybe have a fire in the fireplace, nice "keep warm and dry" type things.

This rainy Sunday was different. We spent the day with the airplane.

It is a little on the cool side with the wet weather and being in the hanger so I brought Koko's travel bag with food, water, a towel and toys.

I brought a book and my second Starbuck's of the day! The hubby brought the chairs and a blanket in case I needed it. =)

He worked on cleaning the airplane, and waxing the airplane.

She played. She was recently groomed and they put bows in her hair, usually I tell them not to, but I forgot this time. Ooops!

He worked for about 5 hours with only a couple breaks for food and water.

I have a feeling we will be spending many rainy days here, but thats okay... I'd rather be with him than anywhere else! And luckily, he feels the same! =)

We had some visitors when we came home, so cute! We haven't seen as many of them this year, so I was happy to have them come for a visit. I think maybe Koko keeps them away more than I realized. She keeps a pretty good patrol on the yard! Haha!

Hope you stayed warm and dry this weekend!
