Happenings

Ok, because my public needs to see me all chubby and whatnot, here are the preggy pics requested. These are all somewhere between 32-34 weeks. You will notice my cheeks are getting chubby, my butt is getting large, and, although you can't see it, my hands and feet are starting to swell up a bit. Not too badly, but if I wanted to take my rings off, that ship has sailed. So there you have, me all preggy.

In other news, my blog is being weird and changing font sizes on me without my permission. I don't know if these things will show up once I actually post, but if you're reading this and the font is all screwy and the pics are out of whack, I swear, it's not my fault.

My man...my man is a man of action! I'm sure since you're all dedicated readers, you will remember my ranting on the last post about how our front stairs were STILL NOT STARTED! Well, Mike and I were discussing it after I made that post, and he decided to give them a call at 10:30 that night. He knew he wouldn't get anyone on the phone, but a message was all he needed. He basically gave them the ultimatum that if THEY couldn't get the job done or AT LEAST COMMUNICATE to us what was happening with our job, he would just find someone who could! And booyah, grandma, wouldn't you know that they just happened to show up to start our job the next day? WEIRD! But don't be fooled, it was no coincidence. They were perfectly open about the fact that had Mike not called, they wouldn't have come, because our contract got "lost in the shuffle". Thank goodness we didn't give them any money until they actually STARTED work. So anyway, the stairs are underway and should be done in a few days time. Woot! Here are some pics

This is after day one. Steps COMPLETELY gone. Oh yeah. You might also notice some spray paint...let me show you what it says in detail...



That's right, Bird Wuz Here !! What a dork. Mike joked with her that if she ever wanted to vandalize our house, the time was NOW because we were getting rid of the stairs! Soooo she waited just a TAD too long, and missed the stairs by a mere few hours! She came sneaking over at around 12:30 while Mike and I were asleep and vandalized our dirt and rocks! Oh no! We walked out the next morning to look at the work they were doing, and we were like... "Huh... was that paint there yesterday??" "Uh no...maybe they were already here this morning??" "No, I don't think so..." Me looking at it upside down..."Hey...does that look like an exclamation smiley face??" And then I saw "wuz", and then I solved the mystery. We'd been tagged! But it was funny and we liked it:)

Here are some pics from day two:




You'll notice that the entire front step is gone, and that there is also a bobcat in the yard! Aaah! Today is day three, and it's already quite the production so far. They finished taking out the tops step, dug deeeeep down in the dirt with the bobcat and are currently working on installing the forms for the new steps. There's a huge crew here right now, and a giant pile of rock in the street. I'm not so sure the neighbors are happy. Oh well.

So, what else is new? Mike and I spent the weekend fixing up the house some more. Mike and his Dad spent Saturday cleaning and framing out the basement. It's almost 100% framed, and then the next step is carpet. Once the carpet is down, we'll move the computer and stuff out of the baby's room. WHICH - Bird and I painted on Saturday! It's a nice "Pale Daffodil" yellow. It's such a calming color, and it is just beautiful with the windows open and the sun shining in. I can't wait to get it all set up for bean!
