Today Jack Said:

His comment (over and over) while watching the US women's gymnastic trials...

Pants fall down! Pants fall down!

They don't wear much clothing, do they, Jack?!?

Today Jack Said;

Jack: sit in stroller. Put you in time out.

Me: jack, did you sit in the baby stroller?

Jack: uh-hu.

Me: you will have to go to time out.

Jack: spit it out (walking towards the sofa)

Me: did you spit your pancake out on the sofa?

Jack: uh-hu

Me: you know this is a no-no. You will have to go to time out.

I sit him down in time out.

Jack: (while waving to me as I walk away) have a good day!

I think it's safe to say we are in a testing and trying phase.

A Little Cowboy Fabric

Perfect for my little cowboy. :)

I Like Strawberries!

Jack ate about 10 strawberries at lunch today...

He got a bath afterwards.

Then at dinner he decided he didn't like them. FIN-ICK-KY. But at least he tries stuff... And likes it half the time. :)

Home Improvements Week 1: Grace's Room

Grace's room is definitely the most changed. It is probably my favorite bed room. It's just really cozy and has great natural light.

We started by ripping out the terrible Formica topped built-in that was along one wall.

Her room isn't very big and so we had to make every inch count. Now it is a great size! And do you see how our walls are constructed? There are solid wood tongue and groove walls on either side of each stud! Wow. That's all I have to say about that.


We tried our hand at dry-wall. Its not perfect, but it passes. I knew we couldn't get it perfect when we started, and I also knew that this is the wall for a large piece of furniture. So we had fun trying, and I think it's ok for now.


Yellow!


With clean white trim!


Her closet before...


And after...


And the lovely corner window... Ready for a cozy chair and a good book. :)


That's all for now!

Like Jonathan said, "It looks a lot different to us, but nobody will ever know because now it just looks like what it's supposed to look like!" Ha! I think that's supposed to make me feel good?!? Yes, definitely! I'm glad things are coming along... Stay tuned because this week begins actual work (Like by professionals) on the... Drumroll please... Kitchen!
