Poor Heidi broke her leg..... we call her "gimp" she is a trooper.... she gets around just fine.
Ginger is likes the new steps... she can see what we are doing a lot easier.

I think Hope got knocked down and I'm not sure if she can get up.... she has an eating disorder I think...
Persimmon almost don't fit in here... she is a "wide" load herself....And I am almost sure she is who knocked Hope down... lol
Poor Chaucer is to busy chasing mice and rabbits outside to get his picture taken.... maybe next time....

This is the coolest pumpkin/gourd from the weekend wedding Terry did...
I loved it when i saw it! so she brought it to me to enjoy.....:) I love that girl! hope you
enjoy just how pretty it is..... We call it a Cinderella pumpkin.... can you guess why?

new drywall here......... this is where the tv and 3 of the speakers will go......
the stairs are floating....... aren't they cool.....
the door is gone and Tim is working on the opening....
under the stairs..... great toy area for Finley......

I truly can not believe that is it the 22nd of October. I am so excited that I get to see my kids in Tennessee in 9 days!!! I can't wait!!! It has been a looooooooong time since I've seen my girls and Drew... looking forward to moving Crystal and Andrew ONE LAST TIME..... I'm so happy for them... getting your first house is so exciting.... they are so blessed.... we all are....

I think I found the perfect Halloween costume!
let me know what you think.....A Hooters girl!!!!!

Gotta get back to work..... it is hump day.... enjoy......:)

I can't believe it's FRIDAY....... Yeah!
we get to help Terry tonight after work set up the Gazebo at Burdette Park for someone's wedding.... we had to load it last night on the trailer. and tonight we put it up and tomorrow night (before midnight) we take it back down... sure wish Andrew was here to help... We are short a helper since we don't want to ask Robert..... So pray that it goes up fast and easy with no problems....
I took some pictures of Schatzie and Heidi the other day... did you see them??? they are here every morning till lunch, then go home and sleep... we don't mind having them around at all... they are lots of fun and they keep us entertained.

It is hump day.... my favorite day of the week....
went to eat last night at Logan's... it wasn't to bad...had a good salad... yesterday was my first day of not having #2's really bad. It was nice to be able to sit and watch tv and not have to get up 5-8 times to go potty.. It don't take much to excite you when you've had this for the past 10 days... hope it's over! still feel a bit yucky but this is ok...

So we have decided to put the bathroom remodel on hold- until we get $$$ and we have to get the basement finished.... good plan... Hope I start feeling better so we can work in basement and get these walls up... the lights for the walls that we ordered are in.... so that is exciting...
trying to decide on "under the steps" area, what to do and how to do it... Tim and I can do a lot together-but sometimes it takes one of us to figure it out first then the other can understand it better...
The basement will be awesome!
I'm pretty excited.........
this is an idea for under the stairs.... except ours look nothing like this...lol
and a big ref. would be on the left side and the sink on the right... but maybe this will get your creative juices flowing...

Michelle came by yesterday..... she got to see our mess... she has asked me to sing at her wedding- in the Myan Riveria as well as at her reception here Feb. 14th. They want it to be their first dance song. "Feels like home" is the song....

it could not be more perfect for Mike & Michelle... I am very excited and nervous at the same time. If you remember, I have sang at many weddings and I believe every one of them have divorced! So- do you see why I am nervous........ and Excited because I do love to sing.... and I am honored that she asked me...
So we have someone to paint our basement ceiling for us.....Yeah! It should be done before the end of the month... I know it's just the first of the month, but we still have lots to do before that and he said if we get a couple of rain days he would do it then.... so that's exciting....
better get back to work....

We added drywall to these walls last night and today too.....
We had to take off 4 sheets of drywall on this wall because of the black mold on the bottom.. we felt like it needed to come off.... so now we are preparing to rehang new drywall up after we make a few minor repairs to the 1 by's that we screw into....
This is under the stairs.... we have taken off the paneling and this is where the Refrigerator and a small sink will go later... but we are going to go ahead and drywall it so it will be like an open closet with out doors.... great to play hide and seek......:)
just another angle of the wall that still has to come out....and moved back under the stairs...
I am pooped out and wanting to sleep..... but i know that won't happen.....lol
Hope this helps you and you enjoy our mess.... one day it will be nice, im sure.....

coming down the steps the wall was opened, because it was thin paneling, and we are going to put up drywall..... which is what that "blue" part is....
You can see all the junk.......:)
The electric guy, Scott, has taken all the wires and hid them... it really looks good-and yes that is black mold.... we will be replacing 3 pcs of drywall there too..... it will be awesome....
I noticed while sitting on the pot.... I could see threw the steps and the window across the room- this was very strange... the cats loved it! they would come down the steps and sit on the shelf that has the baskets on it.....hahaha

I was trying to give you a better look....last night Terry and Tim helped us put up a sheet of drywall on the step area... so I will put up more pic's after today..... love you guys...

Tomorrow is Friday and I am excited....... Working in the basement this weekend... hope to get lots done so we can go to Memphis and see my girls and Drew.....
