What's wrong with this picture?

My camera.







Lucas's camera.






Mine.







His.


Is this a reflection of my photographic abilities????

Flooring saga continues

I can't even begin to explain....

But we went from this:






To this:






It's complete and utter chaos. And still no firm installation date.

I have definitely lost my sense of humor about this. Grrr.

Thanksgiving Preview

V's Thanksgiving day dress.

CUTE!

Is it just me or did she morph into a little girl overnight?

The Freddie Series

No doubt about it.
L can take a picture.
Great pictures.
I don't even edit his the way I do mine.
They just come out adorable.

Here the first of a series of posts showcasing the boy wonder's genius. That is being totally objective of course.

Oh - Freddie is the name of his first Webkin frog. He is well loved.

Is That HOA approved?

This is a view of my backyard. So pretty.





Golf course is through the trees.

But wait - what do I see?






Back there- on the fence......





Chicken wire!!!!!

My entire backyard fence is covered with chicken wire. From my understanding it was to keep in the dogs of the previous owner. But I live down the street from a cow pasture so I am not 100% sure what really happened back there.

Couldn't quite figure out if it felt like a farm or prison.

All I do know is that it has taken me weeks to rip the stuff down.
39 sections of it.

But now it is gone.




Ahhh....

Can I offer you a drink?

So, who would have thought putting down some wood flooring would be such an ordeal?!?

After a couple of months of indecision (mine of course, not hubby's) - we finally ordered the wood.

And then the wood got delivered!



It was very exciting. But it just kept coming .....






And coming!





We have 70 (70!) boxes throughout the house.

Apparently, the wood has to become "tempered" to the house???(so it won't warp or buckle after installation) So we are waiting.... week 1, week 2.... Still not ready. I have tried everything to make this wood feel at home. I even said pretty please.

It's been here so long, the kids now use it as furniture.





Or maybe it is just because we still have so little furniture.

Regardless, this is my last resort:





If a cocktail doesn't make it feel at home, nothing will.
;).

All I Want for Christmas....

Is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, my two front teeth. ( remember that jingle?!?)





L lost his front tooth and the other front one is very jiggly!!!

Tooth Fairy is very busy keeping an eye on our house. ;)

Ugh

Problems with posting pictures to my blog has once again stalled my operation. I am so frustrated!!!! Will keep trying to fix the technical problems - so please keep checking back!

Missing Pictures

Here are, i hope, the missing pictures from L's race post. Much like crafts, technology is kicking my butt.

Faster than the speed of light

Kinda like superman - except it's Super L!





L ran a 1 mile trail race last Saturday morning. If was freezing - really - 32 degrees.






But we were there to cheer him on!!!

I think he was nervous. Or maybe it was me that was nervous.





He was actually fine. And then the runners went to the start.







That's when things got serious. He meant business. No way punk #209 was going to outrun him. Bring it blondie. Does your sweatshirt say Yale? Yeah, well, my parents - ummm- didn't go to Yale. I'll just stand here quietly.






Miss 222 - you might run faster if you take your hands out of your pockets. But it was cold. Which is why L was wearing gloves. Just happened to be his super mario gloves from his Halloween costume. I think it gave him a psychological edge.

On your mark, get set - go!!!!!






He did great!! Came in 3rd. Ran a wooded trail mile in 8:28!

Go L go!!!!

Halloween

Mario, (good) Witch, Pink Princess (pink being the important part of that description)



L and his friend were Mario and Luigi




Pink Princess likes Luigi :)

Back in Business!

Finally got the camera situation set!! Lots of pictures coming soon. Halloween, house renovations, and general day to day life....

Also, L, our budding billionaire, is starting his own blog. All about Mario. He is driven! I will keep you posted as I know he would love to see comments from everyone on his entries.

More tomorrow.......
