I have been informed that I'm slacking off on my blog. SO ;) here we have the updates on the store. Everything it pretty much done. There are a few this's and that's still needing to be done but the big jobs are finished. We lacked a small amount of pink paint in the kids room and we can only get that color by the gallon. So until we find something else that we want to paint pink, there is a small square that didn't get painted. Chris also needs to touch up a few spots in the store area. We went with orange! It brightens the place up and doesn't look nearly as bad as I thought it was going to. I actually like it now.

We have a lot more shelf space now. I have the wonderful job of digging around in all of Jim's things to find more of his stuff to put out for sale. For anyone who didn't know he had a retail store before we opened the gunshop so we are liquidating his things for him, in return for free rent ;). It is a little weird having things like baby dolls, and diapers in a gun & pawn shop hehe but oh well.

The playroom is great to have. Emily was so happy that it was pink. I don't think she will be quite so bummed about coming here after school anymore. They have a lot more privacy and space. The store is a lot more open now and Brett can really scoot around in his walker. I need to put chicken wire around it though because he keeps getting into stuff :p.

Chris and his dad (mostly Chris) did an excellent job getting everything finished. AND GUESS WHAT? The door to the pawn storage area... Actually has a doorknob! It's nice having a good looking store. And funny as it sounds people seem to be spending more money. I think it's because the store looks nice, but it could be because it's Christmas time :p. Who knows who cares, it's all the same in the end. GIMME ALL YOUR CASH! ;) Merry Christmas.
