Our floors are almost done....

Hi All

 So it's been a crazy few weeks.  Thanksgiving was fabulous I must say...we decided to have Ham instead of Turkey to mix things up a bit and it was soooo good!  I know what you're all thinking....Ham is she SERIOUS I'm so proud of her! haha but yes I am serious.  I typically HATE ham, but Richard did such a good job with this one...I couldn't resist!  I'm going to put some pics down below  so you can see our fabulous spread!

 We got our living room floors almost done!  So excited.  We just have to add some transition strips and voila....finished.  I am so happy to be rid of our old nasty carpets.  They were in such rough shape(mainly because of our cats).  It just makes everything feel so much more fresh and clean.

 So...around last weekend I started to get sick-I got a fever and started hacking away.  Richard then got it on Sunday night and we've been sick all week....SO MUCH FUN RIGHT? j/k  We went to the Dr. and he told us we were both contagious-even lovlier right? I hate being sick.  It just makes everything you want to do take so much longer.  Richard is feeling much better, and I am too for the most part.  I still get out of breathe really fast, and I am still coughing like crazy...but we're hoping that will go away sooner than later.

 Ok so last weekend I started working on some super cute Christmas Crafts.  I'm going to try to work on them today(if I can muster up enough energy).

 Speaking of crafts we're going to be doing a fun Christmas Craft day on November 3rd and I'm super excited.  less then 2 weeks and I get to decorate for Christmas.  Speaking of which I have this picture that I found on the internet a few years ago that I absolutely adore.  I've always wanted to blow it up and frame it, but just never got around to doing it.  This year...I finally did it.  It is a picture of Santa kneeling to baby Jesus...how precious right?  I just love the meaning behind the picture.  The artist is Gaye Francis Willard and the name of the picture is "Every knee shall Bow"...just in case you were wondering.  Well...I better jet.  If I plan on getting anything accomplished I better get started.  Enjoy the pics and have a fabulous day!!!



                     Our yummy Thanksgiving Ham



         Our Thanksgiving Spread...even though it's kind
                           of a crappy picture! 



                          Cutie Bella sleeping(like usual)



                                          Our nasty carpet



          Taking out the carpet-here's the underlay...it was such a
          giant pain because they had stapled it to the ground...
         and there were A LOT  of staples that had to be removed.




         Richard had to build a floor under neath before putting
            down the new floors as it was too low




       Starting to put in the new floors.... we would have loved
       darker floors, but considering our cupboards, back splash
      and counter tops are darker...it would have been over kill!



                                         We're done!!!





                  Here's the Santa picture...there's a total glare
                  over baby Jesus....sorry.





              Here's the floor with our sectional put back into place


           And here's another shot of it...as Bella decides to be in the
           picture at the last second! )

I'm bad...and that's good????

  Ok....so if you have not had the opportunity to watch Wreck it Ralph...you need to!!!!  It is now one of our favorite movies.  It has so much cute humor in it, plus a nice feel good story line.   They have a "bad guys" group where they have meetings weekly to discuss their frustrations on being the bad guys.  They all say a chant(if that's what you call it??) which is: "I'm Bad, and that's good, I will never be good and that's not bad, there's no one I'd rather be...than me". I love that.  It says/means a lot in my opinion.   Ralph is not bad...he's just the "bad guy" in his video game.  He's got a good heart and a good soul.   So... you are probably wondering why I'm posting about this right?   I have really been trying hard lately to not just assume someone is what I think they are just by looking at them...you know the whole don't judge a book by it's cover kind of thing.  It's working...

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta...

Six Months...

By -
I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that...
