"Who, me?" |
All tuckered. |
|
February 08 |
  |
|
 |
Happy Valentine's Day, Momma! |
|
|
 |
|
"I'll clean anything if I can have some nakey time!"
|
"Help. They make me do this every day. Get me outta here!" |
|
 |
 |
|
The lovely wallpaper we removed. |
The border (which was apparently applied with SuperGlue), |
|
 |
 |
|
Naked plaster. |
Carefully painting a shelf. |
|
 |
 |
|
Finally stripped. |
Old cat Saki, soaking up the warmth. |
|
 |
 |
|
Such a good helper! |
Another view. |
|
 |
 |
|
Just about done |
Don't know if you can tell, but I added a subtle faux-finish |
|
 |
 |
|
| Grant really was a big help. | Walls are finished! | |
 |
 |
|
This plant shelf is moved eventually, so no heads are bumped. |
Beginning the load-in. | |
 |
 |
|
Nice to see a project come together. |
||
It's DONE! Are you ready?  |
Come on in to our new Toy Room!  |
|
 |
 |
|
| Still a place for Saki to lay in the sun. | "Where are the REAL tools?" | |
 |
 |
|
| Now we just have to make sure the kids get no more toys... HA! | ||
 |
 |
|
| This side of the room is left mostly empty for room to play. | Each of the mats on the floor has a different texture, and Kit loves the feel of them on her feet! |
|
 |
 |
|
| "Eh, fongool!" | This is the underside of the long shelf above the windows. Some little imp got into the red paint!! |
|
Fun with Kit |
|
|
A few silly pictures of our growing Kit. Some of her hijinks: |
 |
|
She loves to climb, and has recently discovered how much fun a sink can be! |

 |
 |
|
This is a bowl of flour. Plain, wheat flour. |
No sugar, no flavoring. |
|
 |
 |
|
This from a girl who won't eat Cheerios. |
"I think I need a little more right...HERE." |
|
 |
 |
|
"Thanks for the cute outfit, Aunt Caroline!" |
"I'm just sitting here, I didn't do anything!" |
|
 |
 |
|
My babies. Can't believe how lucky I am to have them. |
A sweet moment... until Kev gives me the StinkEye! |
|
| |

| A Day at the Circus: | ||
 |
 |
|
Here is the center ring and the animal ring before showtime. |
Shriners are everywhere! |
|
 |
 |
|
Ready for a good time, Grant? |
Our own Circus Boy, warming up before the show. |
|
 |
 |
|
The big slide they had set up at intermission. |
Grant with one of the performing families. |
|
Grant's favorite thing at the circus: Fire jumping tigers? Amazing jugglers? Incredible acrobats? Motorcycles zooming upside down in a ball cage? Pfft. |
||
A little Dress-Up: |
||
 Grant has no awareness of Harry Potter, but I told him to go up and tell Daddy that's who he was. He went into the office and said, "Daddy, I'm Harry Pot!" |
 |
|
A new favorite Kit pic. |
||
Both kids love laundry day, because they get to play in huge piles of clothes. They jump in piles, burrow under to hide, and sometimes just snuggle in for a "pretend nap". |
|
|
|
Such a little sneaker! |
|
| |
||
 |
Having fun coloring eggs.
|
|
Easter's here! What a fun day. Eggs and baskets are hidden around downstairs, the kids (mostly Grant) filling baskets, opening eggs. |
||
 |
 |
|
The Easter Bunny gets up EARLY! |
Sister and brother, ready for the hunt. |
|
 |
 |
|
"A little car! COOL!" |
"Another eraser. Cool." |
|
 |
 |
|
"Ooh, there's one!" |
"Pooh Bear, that is an egg. Egg." |
|
 |
 |
|
Grant finds his basket, and the wooden train on top. |
Kit is suitably impressed with the ducky cup. |
|
 |
 |
|
Daddy reads to Grant from the "Dash" Incredibles book from old E.B. |
"Huh. Yours looks more interesting than mine..." |
|
 |
 |
|
"I love Pooh Bear!" |
"Love, I tell you. LOVE." |
|
 |
 |
|
Could I ask for anything more? |
