"afters!"

yay! we're finally done with our "office" project!



notice any major differences? like the new DOOR, maybe?

tommy h. decided to build a closet under our stairs for a better place to store his video game collection, which meant we could take down the massive wall of shelves!

("afters" of that wall coming soon!)



so the "man cave" has been downgraded to a "man closet"



the best part? he made a hole through the wall so that we could stick all of our computer wires through it and keep the printer, computer tower, power strips, etc. in the closet on the other side of the wall! this means no more little ones turning on and off the computers all day!



and no ugly wires showing under the desk!



we also bought a new desk since our last one was getting pretty hammered and added the cabinets above which i LOVE!



oh, and one last shot of my fun mouse pads! i designed them and then had them made at walmart! so easy!



stay tuned for pics of the other half of the room!

seeing red

it's always SOMETHING around here!

a couple of days ago i noticed some tiny red spots on jakob's legs. well those spots turned into THIS:











and believe it or not, it actually got worse as the day went on!

fortunately i had already scheduled a "well baby" appointment for the same day a few weeks back so we went in and the doctor told me he had erythema multiforme (whatever THAT means). basically he wasn't contagious but had the potential of being spotted for 1 to 3 weeks!

well to our surprise he was almost cleared up the next day!

i wanted to feel bad for him, but he was happy as a clam the entire time!

paying through the nose...

this bloody little brad cost me a hundred bucks today!



all because SOMEBODY (see picture below) thought it'd be a great idea to shove it completely up his nose!



so do you know what the people at the e.r. did?

NOTHING!

they had ME plug the other nostril and blow into his mouth and out it popped!

i might has well have flushed $100 down the drain!
