Finished basement

Basement doors

They replaced the old sliders with new French doors. Ta dah!

Muddy fun

It rained like crazy yesterday. Today the sun came out and it was warm enough for playing outside. The creek is rushing, and the pile of sticks and leaves in it shows that the water reached the top of the bank.

How did the dog get so muddy?



By digging in the sandbox?



Audrey says Lucy was rolling in the yard, but I think there might be more to the story.

The dog's gone bananas!

Three guesses who put the banana sticker on Lucy's head...

For you, Mom

Here's where you'll plug in your blow-drier when you come visit.


This is what you'll look like standing in front of the sink and plugging in your blow-drier (if you had gingerbread man pajamas.)

Living room rearranged

The fireplace looks like it's part of the living room now. We angled the rug to cover up the parts of the floor where the columns were. Audrey got a huge splinter before the floor was patched, and we had to take her to the doctor to get it taken out. They used the biggest tweezers I've ever seen. She was very brave at the doctor's office. When Scott and I tried getting the splinter out at home, Audrey screamed like her face was being chewed off by a chimpanzee.
