Brooklyn, 7 and 8 months...

If you've read my previous posts, you'll remember how busy we've been lately with the kitchen remodel (and other stuff). Life has been more than chaotic for the last couple of months in preparation of the remodel, so I haven't had the chance to post Brooklyn's 7 and 8 month Bossier pics. Well... here they are.

Fringe Benefits...

Dylan and Brooklyn agree that there are some serious fringe benefits to getting a brand new kitchen --- like the tons of really big cardboard boxes!!



Today we are right in the middle of the kitchen remodel, and the cabinets are being installed. A couple of cabinets have already been mounted, so the empty boxes have now become a playground.





Dylan has built a cardboard house with the empty boxes --- complete with front door and skylight. As more boxes are emptied, he has plans to add on to his existing house --- perhaps a dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and a room for his little sister.



Brooklyn... well she's supervising the construction from her little area of the yard.

Me... I'm just SO grateful for an absolutely beautiful (and somewhat warmer) day so that they can play outside --- out of the electrician and installer's way!

Chaos in the kitchen...

So, I missed posting Brooklyn's 7 month pic with Bossier and haven't posted anything since Michigan week, but that doesn't mean I've been up to nothing. There has been so much going on around here that I've just completely forgotten about blogging altogether. We're about to undergo a complete kitchen remodel --- fun, but chaotic!! The cabinets arrive on Tuesday, and hopefully, between the installer, the electrician, the plumber, and the painter (that's me!) we can get things back in order before Christmas! I know, you're probably thinking "Why in the world would anyone attempt a kitchen remodel during the month of December?" Yeah... I wonder the same thing! Actually, the financial incentives were too good to pass on and since we're here until we leave for Passion '07, we've got the time. I just hope we're not eating canned chicken noodle soup off the camp stove on Christmas day...

I will get Brooklyn's pics up soon... probably along with her 8 month pics!
