Plans for the Basement

For the last 2 weeks, we've been working on remodeling our basement. Today the carpet goes in. We still need to paint. I know, that's a bit backwards BUT, that's just how it all worked out so we'll just have to be careful when painting.

If you'd like to see pictures of the progress thus far, check them out:

This started because I work from home and don't have an office. Initially, we were going to turn the basement into an office for me but then I thought, eh, I don't like the idea of being down there while the kids are running around throughout the house or outside playing. So, we may just make the basement a family area and keep my desk and such in the far corner of the living room. I am not sure yet.

I have been looking at desktops though, for down there. The kids are at that age where they like to play learning games on the computer so maybe I'll get one for down there and then set it up to where they can only go to certain websites. Anyone have some good suggestions on how to do this or what software is best?

Air Conditioning!

We finally put the window units in yesterday! Honestly, we've had a few humid days but it hasn't really been hot to where we needed air conditioning. How odd, its already the end off July.

We have air conditioning in the bedroom where I am supposed to be exercising. We spent so much time pondering over treadmills trying to decide on the best one for the least amount of money and well, I haven't used the one we got in oh, I dunno, 2 months? Maybe I will now that we have air conditioning in our bedroom.

Gone Fishin'!


Yesterday my dad took Dante fishing for the first time. Dante was so excited to go! Since I didn't go along, I don't have any photos of him in action but I know my dad took pictures. I will get them on here eventually.

Olivia was at Dorney Park with Jeff so I was home with Wyatt. It was so strange being here with only one child! It was really nice to spend some one on one time with him.

Finally, the Sun!

I was beginning to think we lived in Seattle or something, we've had so much rain lately! Today was the first day in I don't know how long that we didn't have one drop of rain! Kinda perfect, with it being Litha and all!

The kids were outside all day! In fact, they're still outside and it's going on 8:30pm - they're usually in bed by this time!

Dear Mother Nature...

It has been rainy and in the 60's for oh, I don't know, the last month? What in the world is going on? It's usually hot by now and I believe this time last year we had already had our air on for about 2 months, LOL

I buy my skin care products based on the weather since my skin changes so much because of it and right now I am all confused! This is just not normal for this area, it's actually kind of scary.
