This is the beginnings of our carpet tiling that we are doing, there will be a white chair rail and white trim before the week is up.

Since I haven't updated this website in 3 months a whole lot has happened.
Lucas is now 1 year old, not walking yet unless prodded. He CAN walk but he'd rather crawl.
We are celebrating Arthur turning 9 today, unfortunatly Lucas has the flu and strep, and I think at least the boys have strep also. We have to get tested tomorrow.
As you will be able to tell by the pics, we have been busy not only with children but with building and redoing things around our house also.
We have built a new chicken cage, we almost finished redoing our playroom, and we have plans to get a new (not 20yo) furnace. This is all very dull to most but a very happy time for us.
Enjoy the kids and drop me a line to say how much you LOVE the new orange room ;)

Lesa

Now, this is a more current pic of the former paneled playroom, it's decidedly different now, will take a while to adjust to the ORANGE.

I think this fish had a crush on Solomon....

This is our chicken house that we spent a good month working on. This house was a lot larger than our old one but we had to lose two chickens to realize that the poultry wire we had on the sides had to be changed. Now we call this "chicken knox".

Lucas as a scuba diver

Last time we went to the aquarium he didn't want to go in there at all... this time all he said was "ide" because he wanted to go slide.

They also have rainforest animals, I thought this toucan was espically cool, I was unaware that their beaks were jagged.

This boys discovered that when you run your hand on the side of the otter tank the otter will follow you, they laughed so hard they started to cry!

really pretty fish

In this playhouse they have a Tv that has fish swimming (of course) and Lucas thought it was really neat, though not as neat as the slide!

This fish stopped to say hello

Lucas exploring the kids play area

hey, the fish make funny faces, why not the children that come to see them?

cool fish shot

more of our spackle torture, notice the newly sanded WHITE ceiling

This is a pic from our trip to the nearest large aquarium, Arthur

This is our playroom with paneling

This is our "favorite" wall of our paneled playroom.... the duck wall.
