Construction!

You may have noticed I haven't posted anything lately. He-he! 8-) We've been very busy working on "the house". Here are some recent pictures of our progress.

Not that you'd recognize it but this is our kitchen.

Dad almost has the subfloor finished!

Uncle Lonzo building a wall!

Wow! A new wall between the kitchen and the dining room.

Bye-bye dinky little kitchen window!

Hello, big new kitchen window!

This yucky old sliding glass door had to go!

It's outta here!

Here's the big gapping hole in the side of our house.

Dad is using ALL his muscles cutting out the warped old header!

Toby helped Grandpa glue in the new threshold.

TADA!!! Our new french doors!

That's all for now. As you can see we still have a lot to do but I'll keep you updated....eventually. 8-)

Tobyism....

Earlier today Toby and I were reading a fun "puppet" book of the Three Little Pigs. It's a glove that you put on with the book attached to the palm and a piggy on each...well...piggy. It's not exactly true to the original, much cuter in fact. It starts out the same. One goes to the market, one stays home, but one has cookies, and one has fun (swinging), and one (happily) says "wee, wee, wee" all the way home. You get the idea. So we were reading this and I asked him which pig he would like to be. He, of course, picked the one having cookies to which I replied "Toby, you're so transparent."
He said "No, Momma, I'm not transparent. I'm opaque."
