.life around here.

A few recent pictures of the kids...

Daniel kept sticking his tongue out because it was so cold.
I think he liked the way the cold felt on his face.

One of the rare times Daniel Boy is crying...
only because he's mad at dropping a toy.

He really loves watching her!

Kathryn very proudly displaying her gingerbread house. It was all I could do to construct it fast enough before she could eat all the candy in the bowls. A few pieces did make their way actually onto the house.

And some recent house pictures:
Toilets and bathroom cabinets are in!

Kitchen cabinets are in

Kitchen floor and countertops are in...you can kind of see the flooring in this picture. The rest of it is covered by cardboard at the moment

View into the kitchen and eating area. Railing is also in, still in need of stain.

And how I spent my Saturday morning...almost dying during a half marathon. I'm glad I ran it, although I was exhausted afterward. I'm not as young as I once was!

sad day

20 Questions...

Yep, you guessed it. From the other room I hear "Mommy, my hair's not long anymore!" Oh. Dear. To look on the bright side, it could have been worse had I not stopped her when I did. And thankfully pigtails cover up most of the damage. But let's just say she'll have to wear pigtails for a looooong time, and yes, I cried. Oh well, it's just hair, right? (Hey, at least I'm trying to laugh about it.)
