So Close!

We are about 2 weeks away from our closing!

Almost There


Hal + Mean Dentist = UAB Emergency Eye Foundation

This is a picture that David took of me following a visit to the emergency room. Hal and I were playing a game of "mean dentist" and things got a little out of hand. It went a little something like this -

Me - Hal, come in the bathroom and let me brush your teeth.
Hal - I don't want to brush my teeth. I hate brushing my teeth.
Me - Hal, come on. We don't have time for this. I'm going to be late for school.
Hal - Can we play Mean Dentist?
Me - Sure. Whatever, just come on.
Hal - Mama, be real mean this time.
Me - Kid, you had better open your mouth! I am a mean dentist. If you don't do what I tell you, I'm going to give you a shot.
Hal - Where are you going to give the shot?
Me - Right in your eyeball!

The rest is history. Hal decided to give the mean dentist a shot in the eyeball instead. He poked me right in the eye! It hurt like you wouldn' t believe. I tried to go to work, but could not drive. The doctor said that he scraped my cornea right off the front part of my eye. I was out of school for two days! Needless to say, the lesson has been learned. NO MORE MEAN DENTIST!

One in the Same


It's like living with two Davids.

Obsessed with Da's Phone


Almost Done

This week - paint & floors! I can't wait to see what the outside looks like when the paint and trim are complete.

The Boys' Bathroom


Downstairs Bathroom Cabinets


Master Bathroom Cabinets


Back Porch

The back porch is ready for screens! Yay!


Pantry


Kitchen Cabinets


Garden Spider


David found this spider this morning when he went to get into his truck. It's not only pretty, but HUGE. My camera kept fogging up, and I didn't get the picture I wanted, but you can still see how beautiful it is.

Carved on the Patio


Hal's Secret Room

This is a picture of Hal's secret room. This little door is inside a closet under our stairs. Steven put a light in there and sheet rock so that Hal could have is own little get away. Hopefully, he will keep all of his junk in there!

Today's House Picture

Each day after school I drive by the house to see the progress. This is the picture I took today. The front entrance area is starting to come together. I'm ready to see the painted areas and trim work. The cabinets and driveway should be coming next. Yay!

Hal insists on equal treatment. If Hayes gets a blanket, Hal gets a blanket! Period.

Four More Weeks

The house is really starting to come together. The sheet rock is up, the bricks are on, the trim is coming along and cabinets are coming next week. We are really getting excited now. Steven says we are looking at about 4 more weeks. Yay!



The Look


Buckshot Mudder

For some reason Hal loves this hat. It's the ugliest hat I've ever seen, and it says "Buckshot Mudder." I have no idea what that means. The man at Gary's OK Tires gave it to him.
