Our van loan balanced dropped below $17,000 today when I made our regular payment of $496. With $438.82 going to principal our new balance is: $16,823.47.
Yipee!!
In other news: my mother purchased a doll house for my daughters that has to be painted and put together with glue. It's like a construction project!! It is a bit overwhelming especially when they would like it done NOW. We now have zero excuses for being bored this summer. 
Under $17,000

I had a dollhouse like that, and it came with furniture that needed assembling too. I spent a summer and part of a school year assembling it; very fun and kind of relaxing!
I had some wallpaper sample books for some reason, so I wallpapered the walls before gluing the house together. It was good spatial-relations training to figure out which walls went with which before it was assembled.
