Pictures from the week

Jack loaned one of his favorite toys to Mr. Man. Mr. Man sits in it and opens and closes the door.  I predict he'll enjoy more aspects of it soon. 

He has started to lift his chest off the floor. I think he wants to crawl. He seems motived and ticked off that he can't do it. Maybe he's just ticked off about the teeth that are coming in. I don't know which is making him more mad but it was a rough day today.

Mr. Man and I dropped Miss M off at school and then went shopping to finished the last of Christmas the presents to be purchased. We are officially done. All presents have arrived, been purchased, and are wrapped.  We got done shopping about 30 minutes before school ended so we went to her classroom and watched through the two-way mirror (where she couldn't see us). It was entertaining. The teachers were trying to corral and get eight toddlers dressed in their snow gear to go outside. I can't imagine dressing eight toddlers in snow gear.  Then they went outside and played on the playground. Miss M pulled her friends around on a sled in circles. The snow has been packed down a bit and is a little slick so she would be pulling with all her might and lose her footing.  She just got back up and kept pulling.

We had our dining room and entry way painted this week.  I don't know that I have a before picture but trust me when I say it's so much better! The dining room is now a blue-gray where it was a terrible terrible brown. It looked like poop.

The entry way was red and now it's an eggshell-ish color.  Do you like the cheeta print on the stairs? Andrew comments about it to everyone who walks in the door because he hates it. It doesn't bother me especially considering the cost to replace it.

We also painted the fireplace. It's a creamy light gray where it was green.  Things are coming together. Maybe I will take real pictures of our house to show the next time the cleaning lady comes.  We all know the only time the house isn't a disaster is in the first five minutes after the cleaning lady leaves.
