Kaisen

Gingerbread Houses






In between church services my friend Liz came over with lots of sugar and two little gingerbread houses for the kids to decorate. It was a lot of fun and she thought it was really great that she was pumping them full of sugar before we had to go back to church. To their credit they did pretty good sitting still. But really how could I let them make gingerbread houses and not let them eat some of the building materials? I almost forgot to tell you the best part. After church that morning Sam found a Rolly Polly which he by the way calls Holly Pollies, anyway he told me we should take it home and build it a house so he would be warm. I forgot all about his Rolly Polly needing a home til Sam's gingerbread house was finished and Sam was ready to move him in. Ha. We explained sugar was not good for Rolly Pollies, but, Sam was sure sugar was good for everyone and everything. We finally convinced him and the Rolly Polly didn't live much longer anyway so I didn't have to worry about Sam smuggling him in.

Coyote for Tammy


Yes, we do get Coyotes. I just took this picture yesterday. But, my the picture of the view off my porch is deceptive. We don't really live in the middle of nowhere. Our subdivision backs up to some land the airport owns. We are one of the blessed ones who got a yard that backs to that land. Behind that about half a mile away is a highway.

The View Off my Back Porch



Really I just didn't want the first thing people to see on my blog to be a nasty bathroom.

Good News Maybe...



I remebered that I shot a video tour for my Grandma and Picasa allows you to take snapshots from video. So here are some before pictures of the bathroom. They don't capture all the grossness but they at least give you an idea of how much things have changed.

The Kitchen Revisited

Before



After




Before



After

Isn't it so much better? My husband is very talented! You may wonder why we remolded the whole kitchen and the answer can be summed up with one word... cockroaches. They were everywhere. Dead, thank goodness, but still everywhere. Their little bodies were in the cabinets and behind the cabinets and in between the cabinets. I didn't have a kitchen for a couple of months but it was worth it. The kitchen still needs a little finish work but it almost done and I love it, especially the cut out.

Allergic to Baby Showers





Me that is not David. I am apparently allergic to baby showers. I missed Sam's because I was in labor with Sam. This Thanksgiving my wonderful family was going to have a baby shower for David but I got sick. :( So Chris picked up the presents a couple days later and we had a little shower at home. It was fun and David has lots of really cute new things and lots of diapers! :)
