Guitar Hero

It all began with a night of hanging out with Nigel and Danielle, Nigel had borrowed his friend's Guitar Hero game for playstation and wanted to play. We looked at him and rolled our eyes as we thought to ourselves, "this is lame". But, soon enough we each tried a turn, and within 10 minutes we were addicted! We soon borrowed the game from Nigel and then the games began. We had a little jam session in the house with each person giving it a try...and it was a blast! We've since given the game back but we miss it dearly...

1st floor updates

Well, I was trying to think of some chronological way to update you all on our progress, but it was just to daunting, so I'm just gonna give you and update and show show some pics of where we are now. We started using the 1st floor in November, and it was a welcome relief to our cramped space we were using before. We've been doing little projects here and there and now are almost completely done with teh 1st floor...all we have left is to put in 2 kickboards under the cabinets. So here are some current pics :-)...
Here is our newly painted stairway thanks to a wonderful paint job by our friend Dave

Here is the living room, we manage to all squeeze on the couch for movies

Ahh, and the kitchen. We abosolutely LOVE it, these are our IKEA cabinets, installed by 8 of us in 1 day, not too shabby :-)

This is our magnetic chalkboard that I painted on the wall, it's been lots of fun for messages and for Theo to draw on (yup, he drew all those lovely lines at the bottom)

This is our future "Sewing and Craft" room, since all us girls here have some sort of craft hobby: sewing, scapbooking, quilting, etc... We plan to put up some tables and shelves to hold all of our stuff :-)

The dining room, with our table without a leaf...

And last of all, our study/library/game room. We love this room cause it's a great place with lots of seating to hang out (and there's no TV!).

If you want to see more, feel free to come over and check out what we've done...it's been a lot of work!

Back to Blogging

Ok, OK, I know, I need to update the blog. But in August I did this wonderful entry with lots of photos and it took like an hr and then it got lost into cyberspace! I was so frustrated I gave up blogging for a while. Now I'm trying to make my way back but it's become a daunting task since so much has happened!!!!

But I will try to take it step by step, so you must know the events and photos I'm going to use may be quite old news now :-)
