View Article  a painting we will go...

Whew.  I finished the faux finish on part of the bathroom today.  I quite like it.  I would have finished the whole thing, but I had to clean up once the horribles woke up from their nap.  It certainly hides the nasty walls, and I'm quite happy with the tone on tone.  We'll see how it dries.  I just have to figure out how to get it close to the ceiling without getting it on the ceiling!

Had a very busy week otherwise.  Company every day since last weekend!  Whew!  No plans for today tho.  Unless we get a drop in. 

We had the beautiful Caleb overnight on Tuesday.  Allyson had to go to the hospital for some nice iv fluids to pump her up again.  I can't believe how good he was considering that he had no boobies!  Well, no working boobies, anyways!  He slept right through the night, even though I didn't, and we had to wake him up to get him ready to go home again!  He did...  okay...  with the bottle...  wasn't too sure what to do with it to be honest.  He kind of chewed on it while I squirted mommy milk into his mouth... 

I have actually never seen a baby with fatter legs than this little guy.  He makes me laugh.  I think even his ankles have rolls!  Al must be feeding him cream instead of milk...

Since it's a beautiful day, I think I'm going to try and convince my daughter to put some clothes on so we can go for a walk....  we'll see how that goes.

View Article  Our first Party and stitches in my toe...

I think the colour bug has bitten me.  I can't wait to paint our hallway....  It's so dull and bland compared to the downstairs.  DOWN WITH WHITE!!  Whew.  Glad I got that out of my system!

Monday I went to the dr's to get a little cist removed from my toe.  I've had it for a few years now, and always just kind of thought it was a wart.  Tried all those over the counter wart jobbies, and they never ever worked.  I finally decided to get it checked out at the dr's, and he said he wasn't surprised they didn't work, because it was a cist!  Interesting...  So, I went in on Monday to get it removed, and now I have two cute little stitches in my big toe.  He said I can take the stitches out myself on Monday if I want to.  Or I can come back in to get them removed.  I'm probably lazy enough to do it myself, or, maybe I'll just get dad to do it on Sunday!

Last night we hosted our first big party!  We had about nine or ten people over for Care Group, and they were all quite impressed with how settled we are...  Is it a compliment or an insult when people tell you that it doesn't look at all like you just moved in??  They brought a lovely birthday cake for Ja's birthday, and even a little housewarming gift.  So sweet!

But now, now, I think it's time for naps.  For all of us.  More company this weekend, and I'm already exhausted!

View Article  clean... finally...

Okay, so we have these awful awful floors in our new house, and they have been filthy since we moved in...  Crazy filthy...  But, today, my lovely hubby went out and bought me one of them thar Swiffer Wet Jets.  It totally rocks.  Especially for these crapola floors!

In order to get them clean today, first, we vacuumed, then, we mopped...  after the mopping dried, we Swiffered!  I couldn't believe the crap that it picked up after all the other stuff we had done.  Amazing.

On a side note, anyone got some carpet they want to get rid of?
