Nothin' but TROUBLE!

I don't know what's come over my son the last couple of weeks, but all of the sudden he is so stinkin' funny! He's become extremely playful, is laughing at everything and has become very, very mischievious.

In one 24 hour period, he completely emptied a box of tissue and a box of 250 diaper baggies (one at a time, of course) and had them strewn throughout the house. Later that afternoon, I put him down so I could take some photos of the hallway floor. I turned around, and this is what I found! The remainders of a loaf of bread, emptied out on the floor with Brychan having eaten or nibbled on every piece. He has been known to carry a loaf of bread around the house with him, but when did he figure out how to get it open?!?

Fall Cleanup

Evidently, somebody has forgotten to inform the weatherman that November is almost over and the weather is supposed to be getting colder. Not that we're complaining...60 and up is a nice, end of November surprise!

Last Saturday, we took a break from putting the house back together and went outside to clean up the yard. Brychan sat out there for over an hour watching us work. Next year he won't get off quite so easy! :)

I am trying REALLY hard to get the blog all caught up before we head out of town next week, and then have the holiday rush to work through! This is one of Brychan's favorite places to be...he loves watching the world go by!

New Floors

As requested, here are some photos of our newly redone floors. More photos will come once Dave gets the baseboards done. But these will give you an idea!

We did these stripes just in our room and the hallway.


The living room and office floors look like Brychan's floors. Brychan's room just happens to be the most put together at the moment.

We made it!

30+ hours of sanding, almost a week of staining and topcoating, several splinters and 13 days later, the floors are finally done and we are back home. YAY!!! We are still in the process of putting the house together, and will get photos of the floors up ASAP. David did a beautiful job on them - he should be very proud!

In the meantime, here are a few Halloween photos of Brychan.

Nightmare on 2nd St.

So last week, I was SO excited because we were going to start refinishing our hardwood floors over the weekend. We were under the impression that it was going to take 2-3 days, so I packed suitcases for Brychan and I and everything else in the house was packed up and moved out.

We thought that the sanding would only take a few hours. Well, after 21 hours of nothing but sanding, the sanding still isn't finished. HOPEFULLY, Dave can get that done today. Then another day for staining, and 3-4 more days for topcoats (which we didn't know took so long until Friday night...information that would have been helpful much earlier), another day for me to wash down all the dust covered walls and THEN we can start moving everything back in. So. All the adorable Halloween photos of Brychan will have to wait for probably another week, as will any other posts. We are still alive - just buried in wood at the moment. My husband is such a trooper doing this pretty much by himself. And thanks so much to Jeremy and Michelle for letting us crash at your house for the week!! And I promise to get all caught up with the blog once our lives get back to normal!
