New stairs

On Monday night, Jason sprung on me that in addition to everything else, he wanted to re-do the stairs. I was thinking, no way does he have time to do that. Fighting ensued. Then he started actually working and I realized he was replacing the steps NOT rebuilding the staircase as I had thought he was doing. It turned out very nice, the dogs helped out where they could.

Roughing it but surviving

I think the dogs are having fun with all of the chaos. They do their best to help when they can!
















Kitchen update

Jason and I painted primer coat #2 last night. I think they're looking pretty good. We have to search for new cabinet doors this weekend so we can pick out the white paint to match the doors.




Ghetto House

Okay, thanks to moving everything out of the upstairs into the downstairs to prepare for carpet installation, we are living in ghetto house. All of our projects are somewhat tied together. The hardwoods don't match our kitchen cabinets so we're painting them white. We have to paint them PRIOR to the new floor installation so I will not paint the new floors. (And trust me I would!) So below is coat 1 of the primer, thank you Carrie and Gloria for helping!

Ghetto garage, lost of crap out there. A couple things are now gone thanks to sales on Craig's List. We got a new dining room table and chairs, but left them in the box!
Ghetto closet #1, those are 2 new chairs holding up the rail. We had to take out our closet thing so the new carpet could be installed.
Mattress thrown on the floor in the living room. The dogs love it, they think we're camping. I'm sure Fonzie has laid in bed all day.
Everything imaginable shoved in the corner.
Ghetto closet #2 - our front door is blocked. Please call before stopping by. We have to let you in through the garage.
Ghetto computer set up. Yes ladies and gentleman, I am using the side of a trash can as my mouse pad!
Stay tuned for updates! I hope you laughed at my narrations!

Measuring spoons....

Grandpa entertained Allyson while her mom was helping primer our kitchen cabinets on Sunday. Everything seems to be fair game for Allyson's mouth these days. Lots of drool...




The Boogeyman

We're getting new floors in the house and were working on clearing out closets and everything upstairs because we're starting with carpet upstairs. For whatever reason, Roscoe became obsessed with the closet in the computer room. Every time we let him in, he immediately ran upstairs and into the computer room to check out the closet. If the door was closed, he would lay in front of it and whine. I have no idea. My mom thinks Roscoe thinks the Boogeyman is in there. My friend Troy told us Roscoe had found our spot where we hid the bodies. Even with the carpet out now, he still keeps checking the closet. We have no idea why. Oh Roscoe.....

Roscoe's first duck


This picture is from the last weekend of duck season. Roscoe got to go and get his first duck. He won't pose for pictures like Fonzie and Duke do. It makes me crazy!
