That Wallpaper thang!

We decided to do some more upgrades to the house. Around this time of year, Thanks to "The Man", we get little money back from the goverment. Normally we'd throw it back into some debt but we decided to throw a little toward debt and a lot into upgrades. We feel like we deserve it since we work so dang hard. So we decided to paint three rooms upstairs, put in new carpet, and get all new appliances for the Kitchen. I'm very excited about this. Especially since everything in this house is as old as I am. And since we have family living in our basement for free we decided to use what resources we had and put 'um to work. Our first job, take down the hideous wallpaper in the second bedroom. We were able to get three days of work into 8 short hours with their help. Just include a free lunch, drinks, and endless tunes you can sing to and a lot of great things can happen!

And with all hard work there was bound to be some skin...suprisingly no butt crack, but it was still funny!

After the wallpaper came off we had to scrape off all the glue. Yummy!

There was glue snott flying everywhere.

We have more upgrades coming....I'll keep you posted.

FLOORED

I know, I know, you can all pick yourselves off the floor! I made another post, and in the same month no less!

I was so proud of my Valentine I made for Scott this year that I wanted to share. Of course Scott and I share our love all year round so Valentines is just a fun day for me to show some creativity. I didn't want to go over board (we save that for bigger holidays) so I spent a whopping $5 dollars (for supplies and all) on this great gift. Of course when Scott see's the gift he's like, "Oh, that's cute....ok, see you later" but not before I quickly point out that there's something underneath the snowman (diet Coke) and of course he lights up, takes the diet Coke and candy and leaves the cute little snowman for me to deal with. So if you really think about it, I really do it all for me. It brings satisfaction. It's when I have the kids that this stuff will really be fun!

So, anyway, now that you've brushed yourself off and took the time to read, I hope you all have a nice Valentine's Day!

See Ya!

Finally updating....

Well, It's been a while since I've actually been able to sit down and really do some updating on my blog. I've spent the last four hours trying to figure out how to upload videos, post slide shows and add fun features to this blog of mine. I know it's not nearly as cute as some of yours, i'm just excited I finally did something! Anyway, while I was trying things out I decided to post this video I found. It's from our "Jack Johnson" road trip we took when we were in Washington. Enjoy! p.s. the video is not quite up to speed with the music. I think it was a transfer thing.
