Last year I had blogged about The Froggy Pond My Honey had found while biking around the neighborhood. Well, last week we had a break from the rain, (it's been raining off and on the last three weeks.) so he took them for the first bike ride of the year. I don't think they actually saw any froggys this time, but they had a great time none the less. Here are a few pictures. Trevor is in the orange basketball jersey, Langdon is in the overalls.
Alright, so here's my excuse this time... :-) We finished our projects, had a flurry of school performances, (the final ones of this school year,) threw our house in order for a visit from My Honey's Mom, and celebrated the twins' fourth birthday. And so, pictures!

Alright, I know it's kinda mean, but we couldn't help but take note of this guy to My Honey's left. Do they still service those cameras?

And kitchen side. Kev did a great job!

And finally cutting it!
Alright, I've once again run out of time. I'll try to post more soon, or at least not go so long between posts!
Okay, so My Honey and I have been trying to improve a few things around our house. Some working out much better than the others.
First we tackled the downstairs bathroom. We had a leaky faucet which we couldn't replace due to the way it was installed, and used that as a springboard to spruce the room up. We replace the pedestal sink with a cabinet and sink, (the bathroom had previously had no storage at all,) replaced the medicine cabinet, ripped up the old tiles and laid new linoleum. We had to replace some pieces of drywall and then we finished it all with a new paint color. I'm the first to admit, it doesn't look perfect, but it's a site better than it was.
Then, off to the dining room. All we really had done here was had a fixture installed. A friend of ours is an electrician so we gave him a call. Here's a pic of our new light.
As you can see, there's also a hole in the wall in the background. That's project number three. Kev and I punched a hole in the kitchen/dining room wall to allow more light through. It was My Honey's first somewhat big job in the house. It was a load bearing wall, so he took great care and did a fantastic job. We'll be finishing it off hopefully next week. We still have the drywall, mud, and trim yet to do, but here's a couple pics of where we stand.
Dining Room Side, and Kev.
Kitchen Side.
Okay Stevie, here's the explanation of the laundry room debacle. Last Tues, (the 21st,) I was trying to get some laundry done as I had to work the next day and it was beautiful outside; perfect for hanging clothes on the line.
Just for fun I thought I'd post some of the things the boys say, or the different names they have for things.
Perhaps I need an intervention...
This is a story of Pete and Repete, (Langdon and Trevor. It depends on the day who's who.) with my husband this afternoon. I was still at work, so all of this is second hand...
It's been quite a week for things that go bump in the night here. For those that don't know, My Honey, myself, and at least three of the kids walk and/or talk in our sleep.
Okay, so I've been tagged a bunch of times now on Facebook... So I found some time to sit down and do this thing and thought I should post here as well since my blogs have been few and far between of late. :-)
