Laundry Floor Redo

Chris and I spent most of thanksgiving ripping up linoleum and getting down on our knees and laying tile. We had some leftover 6x6 from the kitchen, so I just had to find some 12x12 that went with it. After much long and hard looking I decided on a slightly pinkish red tile that was less than $14 a box! (Yup, I went cheap!) I don't think it turned out so bad, but was a long 5 days without the washer/dryer!

Look at the before pic, I think even the camera didn't want to take the picture!

Chris was an expert gluer!

Look at that tile cutting job!

Chris did a fabulous transition from the hallway to the laundry room!

Now if only I can paint that storm door!

Happy Thanksgiving!

So Chris and I spent most of the day in our laundry room re-tiling the floor. We use to have laminate, but our wonderful dogs, thought that the laminate looked better shredded by the back door. Hence, we have gone with tile. They better not shred it. We saved money by using some left over 6x6 porcelain tile that is like a neutral tannish color, and I spent $45 on tile on sale at Home Depot. Kinda like a light sunset red. It doesn't look overly garish. We plan on repainting, and I'll post a pic soon!
Thanksgiving dinner was spent at our good friend Nathalie and Hanks house. She had her three kids and my 3 kids and was a great time! Her turkey was fantastic, they loved my yams, and we spendt some time playing *gasp* board games with the kids. They were pretty upset we didn't let them play video games.

New Moon

I never thought that I would be so excited to watch the second movie in the Twilight series. Not only was I disappointed by the first movie. I was eager to mock and make fun of the awkward wayward teenagers. I also found Edward to be a totally weird fit, as I have other hotties in mind to make such a 'beautiful' person. But, as the date for New Moon drew closer, my anticipation rose. The trailers with Jacob (hottie!) and the wolves made me totally want to see the movie. Not only did I want to see it, I wanted to show my anticipation by buying a shirt. Katie and I showed up before the movie at Hot Topic. What shirt did I want? The one with Jacob showing his abs, or the nice conservative Team Jacob shirt with his head and a wolf saying???? Which one could I wear to work? Which one could I have more fun with? Hmmmmm, I chose both. I literally had the sales associate take one of the shirts off of the store manequin (it was the last one!) I was so excited! I felt like a cougar who had just trapped her prey (animal reference! haha!). We had fun watching the movie, I had fun making fun of Edward. And I'm sure I hooted and hollered when Jacob displayed his abs. *sigh* awwww to be a teenager again.

2009 Fall Soccer Champs

Boo-Yah! That's us, was a really tough season, I'm really glad that we won the final game. We did not have the best season, and was actually shocked that we made it in the finals. The team that we beat had an 8-0 season. I think I was most impressed with the girls this year as we rarely had a sub for any of the games and had to play the whole game, wish it did more for me! LOL!

Roller Skating 2 Nite

We're going skating tonight! We picked up Maranda from The Lawson's and we're going to let her go with us. Chris and I love to skate. We actually got married on skates and still have the skates that we got married in. I know, now we're dating ourselves. We went skating last Friday and I actually got in trouble at the rink for side ways skating, you know, the Fred Flinstone pose, the spread eagle, anyway, it's not allowed at the rink, something about being dangerous. No, roller derby is dangerous, regular skating is well.....normal. Chris however skates anything butt. Call him a four-wheeled figure skater. At least, he used to be in his younger days. However, seems like nothing has changed much, just our age.

Orphan

OMG! For those of you that haven't seen this movie, don't watch it, it was horrid! I don't know if it was because I could honestly see one of my friends nieces as the little girl, or the fact that what she did was so horrible, but anyway, was not a good movie. I'm grossed out now as I think about it.

Halloween 2009

We were suppose to go skating after the boys went trick or treating. They looked forward to it all day long. Because of it, they did a whirlwind 1 hour trick or treating session in which they tried to hurry. It was frustrating. AFter they were done, Chris decided that we would stay home and watch movies instead. Well, Chris and I watched a movie, the boys sulked in their room.
