From The Mouths Of Babes

Yesterday I was scolding my two youngest for fooling around while they were supposed to be getting something else done, and as I walked away, my 8-year-old turned to his 10-year-old brother and commented, "Isn't she beautiful when she's angry."

Kids are nuts.

Ta-Da!!

After long and unnecessary delay:





Ain't it purdy??

The 8th Wonder

A miraculous day has come---not miraculous like, say, new life or something like that. No, this is a miracle in a minor key: our kitchen floor is getting put in!! It's quite amazing to think of it actually happening, and I can't even picture it being done. No more tacky ugly 70's burnt yellow linoleum---marked and torn and scratched. No more tiny ugly brown tiles (what were they thinking??) in the entry way. It's going to be amazing. I'll post pictures when it's done (two weeks two weeks). Hopefully by Wednesday night. We'll see.
