Yet another page from the quiet book

Not as exciting as others...but it's in there so i'm sharing it with you! Just a simple shape-matching game but Des really likes velcro and pulling stuff off. I have another couple of pages yet to go but I have to scan them in and my printer is currently in a pile in my hallway. Ya know, with all the other stuff that's been moved so we can finish our floors? Yeah. Kinda makes me crazy but I'm doing my best to keep walking around it and not stress. Big piles of stuff and I don't really get along.

Next page to scan/post is a Noah's Ark page! I got the finger puppets from IKEA so its all ready for action. Soon to be posted!

Helper Des

Can he build it? YES HE CAN!!  Ok, so maybe not build but Des was able to at least WALK around with his dad's spiffy tape measure and pencil. He thought he was pretty neat helping dad with our floors.

Ever pulled up 12 year old carpet? Its yucky. Very, very yucky. Here's proof from only a THIRD of our room. This is the amount of dirt under the carpet pad. 

I don't like to do the dishes

So i'm blogging again! Des got a sweet four-wheeler for his birthday from his aunt LuRey and Uncle Timmy. He's still trying to master it, mostly he wants us to push him (and he knows he has to put his legs up on the front fenders so they don't get caught!) So he'll climb on, stick his legs up, look at me and smile. These were taken a few weeks ago but they're still cute.





Oh and don't be fooled. He didn't actually go anywhere. Just sat there and looked around. He's more partial to his stroller. LOVES it. We go to the park and he doesn't want to play. No swing or slide can compare to how much he loves riding in his stroller. Crazy kid.

Sorry it's sideways

Its what I get for using free software. I tried turning it but it wouldn't save so you get to turn your head instead.

This is Des' favorite new thing to do..."run". Its mostly walking fast until he turfs it but its pretty funny. And at the end you can see his other new thing too: saying "oooh, wow!". He started saying it the day we got back from ABQ and says it all the time now. I have no idea where he picked it up.

And you get to see our new floors! We still have to finish up the kitchen but so far, so good!

While I figure out what I'm doing with my life...

I'm going to let you see another page in Des' quiet book!

In other news, the day after I got home from ABQ, we found out that the hardwood floor place was having a sale so we took the plunge and bought 500 sq ft of lovely wood flooring! So not only was I trying to catch up on laundry and housecleaning, we were tearing up our nasty carpet and scrrrraaaaping up our yucky linoleum and laying down beautiful "Golden Teak" floors. Hopefully we'll be finished with the kitchen this weekend and I'll post pictures. Next on the list: find an area rug and get our state tax return to *maybe* get some carpet for the upstairs. We'll see. I'm kinda tired. Kolt said we're paying someone to put our carpet in though so maybe it won't be so bad.  

That's it for now. I need to take some pictures of Des and his cute little hair-trim my sister did. Apparently last week was the week for haircuts (all the grandbabies on Kolt's side had haircuts, plus me and Des). 

I've returned!

Just got back from good ol' Albuquerque today. The baby is stinking cute, the family is doing great, and I have a headache. We'll try to blog something fun tomorrow or this weekend....

:D

Oh man, Oh man, Oh man!!

I get to go play with this baby TOMORROW!!! Woo-WOO!!  This is my sister's new little sweetie pie and I'm so excited to meet him. He was born this morning just before 1 am. What a cutie!
