Long over due update...

Let's just jump on in. Mike is finally able to walk and is finishing the dry wall in the bathrooms. This picture is what he looked liked every day he was laid up. The dogs and cats had to be with him.
Then we had Isabelle's 7th bday. She invited 6 girls from her class but no one could come. So we did family crafts. We all made door hangers and ate cheesecake and cupcakes. Most of Isabelle's gifts were Disney Princesses things. Her room is decorated in it and i'm still working on her curtains. Marissa asked me yesterday how long has it taken me on the curtains. Of course way too long but i am sewing them by hand. The only present I got was a very pretty Baby Phat purse i picked out after xmas.
Everyone knows we have been on kittie watch...well saturday night before marissa went to bed she hear Max and George fighting. So she got George and and noticed a huge gash on his face. She took him downstairs away from Max. Then about 3am brandon wakes me to tell me he hears kittens crying in his closet. (Brandon & Patrick share a room as a closet) So i go to investigate. I find Max sitting in the corner with 2 kittens. Then we hear cries from the small closet. Mike moves a few boxes to get in there and there are 2 more kittens in the closet. We bring them out and put mama and kittens in a basket. We all go back to bed and check on Max in the morning. She had 2 more kittens so now we have 6 kittens. Mama and kittens are doing wonderfully.
Back to work.

crappy patch

Things have been crappy lately. Mike is still on rest from spraining both ankles and not much has been done. I do little thing but i can't dry wall. That is what he was doing when he got hurt. I was waiting for him to get that done so i could tile. I've been working on the kids rooms and the cooking and the laundry. Plus my phone won't keep a charge. I guess that's what i get for dropping it in the toilet. Maybe Mike will get me a new battery for my bday on friday...lol

We are still on kitty watch. Maxie is due anyday now. Marissa comes home from school expecting kitties. Mike thinks 4-6 and i think 6-10 kitties.

Well i think today i will be making the cheesecake Isabelle wants for her party on saturday. Plus i need to make cup cakes for the kids that don't like cheesecake.

Not much has been going on....

Mike sprained both his ankles while he was hanging dry wall and keep working til he couldn't walk. He has been off his feet for over a week. Hopefully he will feel better this week. I've been working on the kids rooms and preparing for Isabelle's bday next week. She will be 7 and i will be 29 again (lol) on friday.

What we've been doing...

I know i haven't updated lately. The last couple of weeks we've been driving to Hampton rds for things. We got some free tile 1 weekend then the next weekend went to get free fill dirt. Some of the tile we got was huge outdoor tile. We decided to make a huge patio out back. We needed fill dirt to level everything and somone was giving that way so we went to get a trailer full. That project won't get worked on til it gets warmer here.
The first picture is Mike dry walling 1 of the upstairs bathrooms.(the grandma suite)
I think we finally got the kids rooms all painted. We finished Isabelle's a few months ago. I tried to get the older kids to paint their own rooms but that was nothing but a mess. The first picture is Patrick's room. He just wanted the walls white so he can decorate them himself. The first blue room is Brandon's. The second blue room is Marissa's. We first painted the walls light blue then sponge rolled them with a dark blue. It turned out really cool.
The last picture i added is our cat Maxie. She is due with kittens anyday now so we have been on kitty watch. I'll keep ya'll posted.
