Jack, worried about the TILE

(we got tile in the basement bathroom. JUST tile.)

guys, asked this...

Tile-a-riffic!

Our paint room (named PAINT ROOM for the massive amounts of paint that were stored there and for the "practice walls" with all kinds of crazy paint colors on 'em) is finally being converted into what it was intended to be. We're slowly putting in our basement bathroom. HOORAY!

The days of hauling kids that have to whiz so badly that all they can do is scream up our trecherous, toy-covered staircase are coming to an end.

Here's the BEFORE...

Here's the AFTER...

(I hope the yellow wall is not too distracting.

That will be painted a nice tan color sometime in the future.)

This is a close-up of the tile we chose...
Cute, huh?

We still have a long way to go, but TILE is a huge step.

Thanks Tyler, Austin, and Craig... the tile guys!

And now it's time for Deep Thoughts...

I read this Deep Thought today and it made me laugh, so I thought I'd share it.


Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, WHAM!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, Batman."

I guess he told me.

I know I pushed SAVE!

I made a cute scrapbook page about Jack and Porter playing in the rain...

I can't find it. It's gone...

So, I'm going to post THIS...

I feel better now.

That's right Jack... I'm never going to let my boys leave me.

Preschool...

Here are a few pictures from Jack's first day of Preschool yesterday... He was so excited and so ready to go... unlike last year when I had to bribe him to not cry. Actually, the only one who had a hard time with this whole Preschool thing is cute little Porter.
Porter spent the entire day asking me "Where Jack go?" Sorry, sweet heart... Jack is giving mommy 2.5 hours to get her house somewhat in order.

Thanks, Jack!... I think.

Is that your face?

I thought it was time I stuck a few pictures of Spence on here.

This is Spencer's "did someone say icecream?" face...

This is Spencer's "you said we could have icecream" face...

This is Spencer's "I swear I put my keys here" face...

This is Spencer's "get out of my grill" face...

(I also get this face when I say something lame or confusing.)

This is what Spence looks like when he's yelling at the dog...

(I hope that wasn't a curse word, Spence. Now I have proof of where Jack gets it!)

This is Spencer's "Halle Barrie called?" face...

This is Spencer's face when he senses danger...

This is how Spence usually looks...
so happy and cute.

That picture gives me butterflies!

I love you and ALL your faces, Spence.
