Snow Kidding

I drive by this house on my way home from the gym, and every time there’s a significant snowfall they make a huge snow sculpture. Last time it was a gorilla. As I was on my way home from spinning today I saw they’d made an elephant out of yesterday’s accumulation. I couldn’t help but stop and take a picture. You can’t really tell from the picture, but this thing is massive! It has to be 6 or 7 feet tall. I wasn’t the only one taking pictures of it…as I was out there a woman stopped her Jeep and was taking a picture with her camera phone, lol.

Phase One

Posted in Really ancient history

Woo hoo! It’s my 200th blog post! I apologize for slacking lately…it’s really hard to concentrate/be creative/not be a stalker during a remodel! Thank God we did this now…I realize I could never get any work done if we remodeled during wedding season. Not only is it distracting to have people in and out all day, but keeping Murph from terrorizing them is a full time job in and of itself.

Anyway, I thought I’d share a picture of the bathroom vanity area. The vanity top is a 188 year-old board that was taken out of the wall to make room for the washer and dryer. We’ve made it a point to reuse as much of the material from the original structure as possible. We plan on installing a beam on the ceiling that came out of the kitchen wall, and we’re reusing the flooring from the dining room in here as well. Later on there will be sides and a bottom shelf added to the vanity that are made out of the same boards from the wall.

I’ll have better pictures of it later on, but Bob and Matt made that moulding around the doorways to match the trim in the rest of the house. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm for doing it was wonderful. They were here every day working, and are genuinely a couple of really nice guys. I highly recommend them to anyone who is considering remodeling.

The Oldest Cooks

Posted in Really ancient history

As a way to foster some responsibility, The Husband and I asked The Oldest if he was interested in cooking dinner for the family one night a week. He was game, so the other night he picked out a recipe, Beef Bourguignonne, wrote out his grocery list, and shopped and cooked with The Husband by his side.

Junior and I documented the occasion right up until Junior’s battery died. Some Photographer I am, huh? I don’t have any pictures of the finished product, but it was delicious!

I couldn’t finish this blog post without adding The Youngest’s transformers. These were taken last week and he’s very excited for Optimus Prime and Bumblebee to make it to the blog, lol.

Meet Prime:
