Construction, Cars and Rain

Told you it would get worse before it got better...  No matter how much training and griping I put into it, the boys will NOT put the seat down!  Oh, yeah, and the walls are missing now too.  But to give you an idea of what is coming, there will be a shower back where it's supposed to be, and a closet in the hallway where it was.  And the area without tile?  It's going to be my PANTRY! :)  Don'tcha love the beautiful, retro blue flecked linoleum UNDER the saltillo tile?  I do!  Oh, yeah and take a nice long look at the fabulous wallpaper in the bathroom, it's going to an early(?) grave about 20 years too late.  Just imagine a small bathroom with that wallpaper, AND matching curtains, AND a matching shower curtain...you're welcome for the horrific visual. 

This is also upcoming.  We'll let you know how it turns out.  I think Shane and Chris are more excited about this than Lincoln at this point.  That may change.  We'll see.

Oh, and it's raining!  That ! is not excitement about the 40° weather, or the mud that inevitably accompanies the rain.  It's all about lower water bills and greener grass.

One last little thing.  Here's a congratulatory shout-out to my friend Nicole!  Yay for the beautiful new little boy, AND the little bean in the tummy!  I am so excited for her, more than I can express in a blog.  :)  It better be a girl, because she is amazingly creative.  Maybe I'll make my next posting all about her and her creativity...hmmm. :)
