Bookcase and other Shenanigans!

Wow, October was a crazy month! Savanna had her 20th birthday, and Desiree had her 15th. We went to witches night out at Gardener Village, sadly I didn't take any pics but my sister Candice did I think so when I get a hold of them I'll post about it, it was a blast! We dressed up as 80's rockers for a friends party on Saturday night, we already had the costumes so it was an easy Halloween. Sadly, again no pics, but I found one from the first year so you get the idea, basically my hair is short now and that is the difference. Tim built a beautiful bookcase for his parents in their living room, this family loves books and his mom Wendy is a librarian so they have quite the collection. It has been a fun project to help with in between school and work, I love progress! So this post is a lot of pics.

80's costumes I think circa 2007?

lighting and torn down to cement ledge

the frame for the bookcase, it is huge
bookcase up, which took the whole family to shimmy it in
trim is on, time to prime and paint
painted, last step is to wire the outlets
Finished, and ready for books!
Happy Birthday Doody on the 13th! (this is the face she gives me when I take a picture of her, therefore this is what gets posted, she really is a sweetheart:)
