some goings on and on and on and on and on.....

And on, I tell you!  I swear, if we ever get done with this wallpaper and bathroom fiasco I will never complain again.  Oh look, now I've lied as well.


Here it is, Satan's toilet.  Plaster patches, wallpaper stuck in crevices....ick!  We removed the mirror so we can paint behind and I'll remove the light fixture within the next couple of days.  We're going to paint it satin brushed nickle just to update it a bit.  On Saturday we plan on painting the walls a nice blue/grey and then it will be over.  Over!


A random picture of Blaine in Grandpa's tree.  He has to climb it every time we go over there.


And look, the devil's kitchen.  Actually, not near as horrifying as the bathroom (to me at least).  This one will probably be in process for a while.  We've got beadboard planned and some new molding.  I eventually want to paint the cabinets and get new hardware, but not as in a rush as we were with the a fore-mentioned Satan's toilet.


My 2 tomato and pepper plants.  Aren't they awesome?  Can't wait until they produce!  I call them my ladies and talk to them as dear old friends every time we're outside.  Live.  Please live, my dear little ladies!


So it has come to this?  Face masks were necessary, I'm tellin' ya.

the birthday boy turns 7!


A lot of our pictures did not turn out very well...sorry!  I let Blaine open one present before school (no picture) and he chose the one from Oma and Papa Dennis.  They got him the greatest book called "The Dangerous Book for Boys".  He loved it so much and kept browsing through the pages to see what he was going to make/do first!


We went out to Kan-Ki for his birthay dinner (which is free).  It's his and our favorite place to go, for sure and Chef Johnny was very entertaining!  You can see Blaine's Aunt Satha in the background :).  Everything was so, so tasty!

Happy Birthday my little dude, so glad to have you in my life....I love you so much!

it's been pretty uneventful really....



DIY wallpaper removal, not for the faint of heart.  I guess we'll just have to keep plugging away at it...pray for us!


Our new clock...a gift from Michael because I've been under the weather, I love it so much!


And this is Blaine, our super-carnivore.  He ate a quarter pound of pork tonight....Is that sick or what?
