Spring??

Well the weather here is still cool {upper 40's} but today the SUN did come out so I was able to get a few photos of the spring flowers blooming in the yard. Unfortunately, the sun will be short lived as we are expecting more rain and winds later in the week. I am SO over this weather, it is spring....hello, the weather needs to cooperate.

More Reality TV....

The new season of Britain's Got Talent has begun and so we get to endure 7 weeks of auditions. I doubt I will watch them all but last night I did watch and was AMAZED by this boys voice...he is only 13 and his natural talent amazed me.


Hope you have had a great weekend and hopefully this coming week will be more exciting than the last for our family.

Another room

I haven't posted a photo of Christopher's new room yet so figured I would do that today. I think the color choices are very nice and fitting for a teenage boy...he can add many things to the room for additional color and character.

Not much else is going on here at the moment. The weather continues to be awful, however, the sun did come out for a bit today. I was beginning to forget what that was at all. The forecase is for more rain and high winds for the next week or so. It is supposed to be spring...where is it??

My NEW sink

We have ordered our new kitchen sink and I can honestly say I am SO excited for it. We originally were going to go with traditional bisque color but they came out with new colors TODAY and I got this one instead. It is one large bowl not divided like the one in the photo. It will look great with the granite.

Neat...Neat...Neat

Tim has customers visiting from Beijing and they brought him gifts! What makes this funny is that we were just talking about this with Hank and Diana the other night at dinner. Anyway, what he was given is just so neat.

They are limited edition commemorative items for the Beijing Olympics this summer. The first is a set of mascot coins in a decorative case.

The other, my favorite, is a framed Nine Dragons Screen pin set.

What nice gifts and they are appreciated. He heads of to China next week until the end of the month. I asked him what he will bring to the people over there ~ hmmmmmmmm, any ideas??

BIG oops!

Yesterday, while priming the walls in the dining room for paint I had a HUGE, HUGE OOPSIE!!! Can you guess what I did? Well I knocked over the can of primer...so there is now a huge grey spot in the carpet. After all the painting we have done over time it is amazing that this has not happened yet. We were planning on replacing the carpet at some time just not THIS soon. Oh well, mistakes happen.

Cleveland Browns Bedroom

Here is a photo of the finished product of Andrew's Cleveland Browns inspired room! {The orange paint was still wet so it is showing some streaking} There are 3 brown walls and 1 orange accent wall. He has wanted these colors for his room for a couple of years now and he is thrilled with the results. Now he just needs his stuff in the room and it will really look nice. I am on a mission to find him an illuminated Browns light to hang on the wall.

Some brief history about some past comments about his colors of choice. Where we live there are 2 high schools ~ one has orange and brown for their colors and the other blue and white. Andrew will be attending the school with the blue and white so his room has the opposing school colors :-)

He finds it quite amusing!!
