Tile, Tile and more Tile

Below is a picture of the tile in the guest bath. The upstairs tile and the down stairs tile are in the same family, but the upstairs is actually darker.

I don't know if you can tell the difference or not, but it really is darker above. These are pics. taken of the kitchen. Jeff and I painted the other night. Now we really can paint, but we only painted where the cabinets are going to NOT be. So as you can see there is some white areas, I wasn't very good at following directions, and painted a lot of the areas, that probably didn't need to be painted. Then when Jeff was done cutting in, and I was done doing the roller, we put everything away. That is when he discovered that I obviously was not paying attention, and forgot to paint around the windows. So above you can see the two big white spots on each side of the window... that was supposed to be painted. Oh well. It will need a 2nd possibly 3rd coat, I will get it then. :) I'm sure it's Jeff's fault, I'm just not sure how yet.

Hannah Montana and Diva Witch

As you can see here, Jenna is sporting the ever so popular Hannah Montana halloween costume. The best part is the ever so stylish blonde wig. Jessie is her "model" pose. I have no idea where she gets it from!

Jessie is a "Diva" Witch. I'm not really sure what that is, as she made it up herself. The costume is really a ballerina witch, but she told everyone that she was a diva witch, so I let her go with it.

Lots of fun happening here

My parents neighbor rescued a baby squirel. It still had it's eyes closed when they got it. We took the girls over last weekend for them to see it. It liked being up on Jessie's head. She was very cute and sweet, and the squirel was fun too! Here is Jenna holding it, she was worried it was gong to get away.

Daisy the squirel going up Jessie's arm.

Last night the girls were playing dress up and came out as and I quote " The ChimiChanga Girls" these are Flaminco dresses that Jeff got in Madrid last year. Sorry about the shadow but the lighting in the apartment is awful.

Some New House Pics.

This is the girls play room. I took this before they finished sanding. They now hav the ceiling sprayed w/ texture, the walls are sanded and today they should be putting on the primer. Jeff and I will put the flooring in this weekend and next week. Then we can cut the base and casing and put it up. This is a picture of the family room looking from the kitchen. The whole in the wall is where the fireplace goes. It is in now.

This is the kitchen looking from the fam. room. The door on the left is the door to the mudroom and out to the garage and the other door is for the pantry. You can kind of see the cut out for where the butlers pantry will be into the dining room there on the left.

This is the foyer, just giving you a look at what Jeff and I get to paint. Fun times ahead.

The siding is finally done. They have to add the lights, and another down spout but for the most part it is finished.

Jeff and I will be putting in Sod in the next couple of weeks. We just have to wait until they finish getting the yard graded. Again, great work out and drinking opportunities for anyone who wants to help! :)

I know it's been a while

I know it's been a while but it seems like I havn't had a chance to down load pictures for a while.

Above is the front of the house. They just put the shutters on.




This is theback. You can see the ledger board on the back out the slider. We will put a deck on in the spring.

The girls play room is above the stall that faces the street. That is the garage that the excursion is going in. It is actually door cars deep, so we will have plenty of room to pull it in, but it's BARELY wide enough, so I will have to pull the mirrors in.
