Current Events

Oh boy, what a week! We had two tons of dirt delivered to our driveway Monday and somebody had to move it. That job was pretty much mine. Then Monday night, Shannon decided to break a bone in his foot, just like his best girl did a week before. I guess nobody told him slippery footed pajamas don't mix with slippery slides.

I had Shannon home for three days, which is how long doctors make you wait, nowadays, before treating a broken bone in your foot. They gave me a choice between a boot or a cast for Shannon's foot. (Is that even a choice?) We went with the removable boot:

Shannon has to wear his boot for at least a month, and I am hoping his grandma gets up here so that I can get pictures of them together. Their boots are identical, and although Grandma has had hers for 1/2 a year, I'm pretty sure Shannon gets around quite a bit faster. Granted, she had surgery and all, but it still makes me giggle.

On top of this, we've had random pieces of furniture to pick up, assemble, and install, and the packaging has created quite a mess. This includes three tables an a wall-mounted 46" flat screen TV. (Happy 40th, Ken! And Happy Father's Day and Merry Christmas; hope you really really like it!)

We've also dismantled our dining room and are prepping it for yet another paint job. Then we get to move the computer room into the dining room, move a majority of the old living room furniture into the computer room, and make room in our living room for even more furniture. Ugg.

Needless to say, we've been busy around here and the chaos shows no signs of stopping!
