Lots of Updates

Where to begin....

Let's start with the house. We have our new ALUMINUM attic stairs in. YAH! So now when I store Aiden's old items I won't break my neck trying to get them up there with the old broken wood stairs. I tried them out and LOVED them. Yes, I'm odd for getting this excited about things like that, but I know have a comfort knowing I won't break my neck. So up with the old baby tub and the compact stroller that the infant carrier attached to. Things like make it hit home our baby boy is growing up sooo fast! Hard to believe in a week he will be 8 months! Man how time flies!!

Next project, one wall of the garage is up! YAH! Luckily Steve came over and helped, because my weak butt struggled holding those huge pieces of drywall. But I can start to see the finished product and I got excited! We've put that off for so long, that now that it's getting cooler I wanted it to get done. Especially before we get appraised. We are even going to add an attic stair in there too. That way we can access even more room up there to store items aka holiday items.

Last week I had a contractor come out and give me estimates on some other little projects I wanted the pros to do. 1st close off the stupid sliding glass door in the front and replace it with a large picture window. So of course that means some bricking needs to happen on the outside and the stairs leading to the door are BYE BYE! Then I asked him to quote me on what it would be to add a porch on in the front or just a peaking portico over the front door. The portico is what I'm thinking we want most. Simple Clean.

It's time to update the curb appeal to match the work done on the inside. Which means....I need to pick out paint for the brick....since I know the new brick probably won't match unless they can salvage some from the steps.

Once we refinance the roof is getting replaced. YAH! Last week we got our check from the insurance company, so that was exciting! Who knew they would pay half of it! AH! We would have never known if this one roof company didn't tell us. Thank you for saving us $2500!

Okay Little man update: He is has a new tooth! That's #6!!! Three on the top three on the bottom. So we have one big drooling baby over here. But mommy made a batch of frozen goodness for him. 12oz of frozen raspberries. 1 cup of water. 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Puree together and freeze. DELICIOUS and a lifesaver. Plus his faces are priceless. "Oh Mommy its COLD!" "Oh wait, that's good! MORE" "BRAINFREEZE!" Like I said priceless.

Teething baby also equals he must have mommy so tonight this is what we ended up with a worn out baby. Passed out on momma. Gosh I love him!

Well off to watch Dexter! YAH the new season!!!!!!!!!
