He's growing up!?

So my brother is getting older. I totally remember a time when he used to wear hip hop clothing and tennis shoes every where he went. These days he actually wears suits and nice clothes to work.

The last time he came to visit he worse some expensive flip flops and looked like an adult.

That's just weird...

Dinner...

We're out of options. OUr kitchen is still in bad shape. We have countertops and at cabinets. I'm going to try to set up the sink so that we can wash dishes and at least we can do minimal stuff.

We might actually put the stuff in the cabinets too.

So much to do...so little time.

The time has come...

Shawna has been wearing the same sandals for years! I think it's time for her to start looking at womens sandals. I've tried Keens and really like them but I don't like that it takes long for them to dry after they get wet.

I've also had Tevas in the past and they do great with water. Plus they offer pretty good arch supports.

Maybe I'll just wait til the fall and get them on super clearance!

Is it Friday yet?

We have a pretty booked weekend. Birthday party Friday night, Saturday morning, and then Sunday we're headed to Philly. We have yet to pack or even clean the house, or write the list for the boys who will be wtaching the girls.

So much to do....

I need an assistant.

Maybe it will work again?

I went out the other day and purchased some new cables for the home theatre system. At first we thought it was the crappy home theatre system we had. Then I looked in the back and saw the expensive Monster cable we purchased was bare.

So after purchasing a new cable I hope that the sound actually works better. Of course, I've also been eyeing 5.1 speakers! Right now we have the ones that have came with the home theatre and they do the job.

Our kitchen...

OR LACK THERE OF!

Each week I figure that I'll check in and post a weekly update!

So we have no kitchen. The guys tore the soffits out, patched up the holes, and the cabinets are sitting in the garage ready to put in! Margot worked hard painting the ceiling and she only has one more coat left!

Hopefully, by next week we'll be picking out granite slates and we'll have a counter top in a few weeks from now!

Help is on the way...

We have a friend who has a little boy who was affected my a medication drug. It seems like the FDA didn't do all of the testing it should have and they put the medication on the market way too fast.

Just this morning...
I was watching television and a commercial came on for Topamax lawsuit. Supposedly, this medication was prescribed to many children and adults and the effects were unknown early. After years of useage they discovered that it had bad side effects that caused many people to become very sick.

One of my friends went to: O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949


They had great results and really liked the personal care that they received with their case. They were dealing with personal injury from a car accident and were very happy with the results.

After dealing with the insurance companies for months they were getting absolutely nowhever. When they called the office my friend was happy that they took over EVERYTHING. They didn't have to worry about the stack of bills or contact with the insurance and their threatening attorneys.

Charged

My kids go through so many batteries. We have gameboys and leapfrogs. At one point we were good about aa rechargeable batteries. Then for some reason we switched over to regular batteries. It feel so wasteful though because we can go on a long trip and go through 6-10 batteries. Of course I know that those batteries just end up in a dumpyard.

Kitchen!

Let the renovations begin! Yesterday the contractor came and we negotiated the work. I think we ended up getting a good deal and I'm so glad that we were able to get him to put in the cabinets. He's going to do everything with the exception of flooring and painting.

The good thing is that in a few weeks we will have a new kitchen!!

I really can't wait.

10.5 weeks!

Well, we're officially 25% into the pregnancy. We only have 30 more weeks or so to go! I'm excited but we have so much going on. My brother has been visiting and we had a great time. They started demo on the kitchen and it's crazy. For some reason we don't have lights in the back rooms. Hmmm...
