You're doing it wrong.

We got ready to paint the ceilings.  By bumping the ladder, we painted the floor.

Yep.

The Carpet.

Sunshine yellow.

On brown and black carpet.

7 hours of scrubbing by three people later.

Now it just looks like a baby ran around without a diaper.

New digs - Upstairs

We decided to keep the upstairs off limits to guests in this home, a sanctuary for our family, but Melissa has been hard at work with her birthday gift: a Cricut machine.  Here are some of the fruits of her labors.


Tim's choice for his bedroom.


 Ami's choice for her room.


Hallway.


 The laundry room.


Maggie's choice.





New Digs - Downstairs

We have successfully unpacked our boxes and are enjoying our new home. 


The conservatory is just inside the entry. 




The living room is next to the conservatory.  We had the walkway done in tile so we could walk from the front room to the mud room in order to take off shoes without soiling the carpet.






The dining room and kitchen with the shutters.

Pumpkins 2013

Plants V. Zombies Trick or Treaters

This year, the children wanted a "Plants V. Zombies" theme for Halloween.  They decided to be the Zombies and have the pumpkins be the plants.  We'll see how the zombies go later... but for now:



Tim's Coconut Cannon


Ami's Chili Bean


Mom's Sunflower


 Maggie's Potato Mine


Susanna's Iceberg Lettuce

David did not get a pumpkin for himself, but outlined the designs for the carvers.
