Are you sick of this yet???? Too bad. here are some of the bathroom tiles dry fit, i can't wait. And today mom came over and tried to babysit deklen for a few hours so i could prime, well no go. He was sooo grouchy this morning i don't know what his problem was. But Nana had a nice visit anyway and we went to the paint store to buy paint and paint and mooooore paint. so we have been priming today and as soon as deklen is in bed i will be priming until it is done tonight. And then painting needs to be done by Tuesday, so it might be a few late, late nights. we want the flooring down by this weekend so that almost all is done.

Well, here are more pictures of the basement. The mudder had to come back for one small touch up this morning and was here at 7:30 AM. And then Ding-Dong the doorbell rings, well it was the guy to texture the ceiling. So out went the mudder and in came the texturer. He primed / painted the ceilings first then stippled them. They are still damp in some areas where it is thick i guess, but it looks awesome. Trevor and i put the light bulbs back in tonight and hung a few other fixtures. Still a lot of holes in the ceiling to be filled like the heat ducts and the trim rings around the pot lights. Tomorrow the sanders come to prep it all (and make a bigger mess i am sure.) But then on Friday the cleanup crew comes and takes the garbage out and vacuums the basement. And on saturday (once the dust is settled) i will be priming the bathroom walls and painting it. And trevor and uncle ken will be tiling the floor in there. more pics to follow......

Boy is he getting big. Feeding himself already. He is almost big enough to babysit himself. Yah right. Ten more years to go....

Well, sorry karlynn. You had tagged me to post an old picture off my computer. I just switched computers last week and all my pics are still on the old hard drive, so all my pictures i have are a week old.

But here is a video of how deklen likes to torment or amuse oskar - i am not sure which it is. Here oskar was locked in his kennel in the office and deklen kept going to the door making his noises and making oskar howl. They go back and forth like this forever if i'd let them.

ok, again too cute. if you watch closely at the very end of the clip deklen actually has a bunch of her snout hair and is pulling it.

well, i have to give the credit to papa for this trick. Now deklen likes to make ahh, ahh noises into anything. Like a glass or anything hollow. He thinks its great. Cute.

Well kinda looks the same as the other pictures, except no spaces between the drywall. (As per my directions to keep a certain sibling updated with lots of pictures!!) It is really really humid downstairs with all that mud on the walls. It also smells gross. Oh well. The one guy said he was going to be done hopefully this week and the texturing of the ceiling will be early next week.

Busy,Busy,Busy day today. It all started yesterday afternoon. Trevor and i made our decision on what drywall company to use and gave the go- ahead at about two pm yesterday. This morning at 7:00 AM i get a call, and it is the drywall company. Seems they are in the area (around the corner) and could put up the drywall today. So of course i said yup, anytime. So at 8:10 they were here and finished by 2:00 this afternoon. Trevor and i had gotten the drywall and they were three sheets short and will drop it off tomorrow and finish Monday. So it is happening quite quickly now and i am happy for it. And the cabinet in the middle of the room is not staying there we just had no where to stuff it. As you can see the furnace room and the bathroom are full.

Just a few pictures from Christmas. The wonder car for deklen - he's a bit small yet but loves when you hold him in it and push him around.

Deklen opening one of his very first presents. The looks he can give..... One of his first presents from his stocking. And he loves it.
