Week One

Good news and bad news. Week One for Fantasy Football is coming to an end and it's a nail biter tonight. Brady and the Patriots ended up pulling out a victory in their throw-back uniforms. However, I lost to a team called BeaGors. Better luck next weekend.

Couch Potato

Harrison allowed us to browse in two furniture stores for couches. We're looking for a deep seat, neutral color and some kind of textured fabric. It has to withstand spills, cat fur, long naps (as if), wrestling and fort building. The first one doesn't really have arms but I like the legs and the second one has the block-style legs. Any thoughts?

Chugging Along

The bathroom finally starting to take shape. We have color on the walls and a working toilet. What else do you really need? It's probably going to be my favorite room in the house.

We're Not In Kansas

The TOTO has arrived! As we were unpacking the new toilet tonight, I couldn't believe the wrapping. First, we cut the sides off the cardboard box. Then it was surrounded by packing peanuts and sprayed stiff with what looked like insulation foam. Then another cardboard box. At least, it arrived in all one piece.

When Someone Is Quiet . . .

I haven't been a mother very long but I know you should always worry when your toddler is quiet. As we were heading to the grocery store, I glanced back at my quiet child and immediately pulled the car over. I had forgotten he grabbed the mascara before we left. Luckily, he didn't try to eat it or put it on his lashes. When I asked Harrison what he was doing, he just flashed me one of his "melt your heart" smiles.

Night on the Town

Tonight we headed north to check up on B-Dub in college. At the restaurant, while we quizzed her about college life, Harrison was entertaining us with his shaking of the shakers. Shake, shake, shake. And yes, we cleaned the mess so the waitress wouldn't hate us.

On the way home, Harrison started his night time routine of a bedtime story. Little guy was so tired he quickly fell asleep while reading. That's our boy, such a sweet heart. BTW, Ryan took his picture b/c I was driving.

Just Hanging Out

Mr. Frog hung on to this leaf for about 3 hours this afternoon. We kept waiting for him to jump away but no dice. I wonder if he was sleeping with his eyes open?
