The Jury Is In

Wow, thank you for your input on the dining room.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to come by,  examine the pictures and give me the excellent advice that you did.  I am in your debt. 

After taking in all the great ideas and suggestions I have come to the conclusion that it will stay a dining room. 

 

I'm telling you I had to state my case and re-state my case and then pout a little and then be made fun of for said pouting and then argue my case one more time before he finally gave in.  

Whew, that was a hard one. Seriously he's never cared like that before.  I didn't know how to act ... well that's not true I do know how to act and act I did.  Yea, I'm a little embarrassed but it's like I told him, "I hate this room so much that is dripping from my mouth."  Ooh, that's disgusting just hearing it back again, must be what finally got to him.  I am afraid that I have stepped across a line that will come back to haunt me.

  

Here's the deal; I'm moving the shelves in the bedroom (please Lord, let them work out in the bedroom) texturing the walls, painting and glazing.  Ooh it's going to be so exciting.  I can't wait to get started.

  

First though it's off to Virginia to see the newest member of the family.  We have had three little girls born into this family this year.  And the grandkids so far think they have something going, I get the feeling that these three may rule the roost.  Here's a few shots at Christmas time with the two oldest of the three youngest. ?  

Miss Hadley

Miss Anah

The three oldest, Caleb, Tyler and Sarah

My oldest, D

Kurt, Kristen and baby H

This was the first time that Anah and Hadley met.  It went fine, Anah got the first licks in.  She smacked Hadley in the face and poked her in the eye.  Just setting the stage for later I guess.  Lordy, this is gonna be fun.

More Craft Room Craftiness

Hey It's HolloWeen!  That's about as spooky as I get anymore.  I am looking forward to pictures of the grandkids costumes this year.  Here that D?  Most of you who are visiting with me here don't know my daughter "D" she guest blogged with me during American Idol last year.  She was so funny on the phone that I made her, I mean I asked her to post with me.  Anyway she is a very busy Mom, her sweet ones are Sarah, Caleb and baby Anah.  She told me last night that Anah is crawling, pulling up on her feet and she waves with her hand.  But all these things she does with a sense of humor.  She also said that when Anah wakes up in the morning she stands up in her crib and yells at her.  Like "hey" but not actually saying hey cause she is only 7 months old she just yells and it kind of sound like hey.  And it's more like Hey!  

She is a fiesty one.  However not the first fiesty child my oldest child has.  Here are the first two.  You know Sarah.  this her little brother Caleb.  I took these pictures in early September, they love their bags for school.

Caleb is a sweet boy, but if you look deep in his eyes, 

you can see it, fiesty!  He loves his sister, though.  He used to call her "my durah."  

I guess this is when the picture taking started to get a little too much for "Durah"

Love those kids ...  fiesty, ooh there fun.

I had the pleasure of keeping this little one this week while her mom worked and look for a new sitter. 

We had a day care scare.  I went to pick her up and found her sleeping under blankets.  On her head!  She was very hot and wet, like she had been sweating (I don't know if 2 month olds can sweat)  Made me cry and it made me mad!  

So, I decided that I was going to keep her until she got old enough to tell us what was going on in her life.  Like say 6 or maybe 16.  Anyway life interrupted and it became apparent that I was not going to be able to keep her everyday.  And that's when help showed up.  I really do think that Kristen found a wonderful lady to keep her and only her, at her home.  I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, I worked on this last night.   

It was one of those things that just kept rumbling around in my head.

So, I'm off to the city to buy some more supplies.  Need to work out some of the details.  

Buy for now, next week is going to be a super busy week for me, so I probably won't post anything.  

Have a safe and fun weekend.  

Love ya
