Well I know most people in So Cal have been worried/cursing the fires this last week, but me, I was cheering them on. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't hoping peoples homes would burn down or anything, but the fires closed the road to Fillmore which meant Thad got 2 days off this week! yay! And he couldn't seem to sit still so we got a couple of projects done in those two days as well. We put new lighting in the kitchen. The first pic is proof that I was actually helping to cut drywall, and pull wires and all that, plus it is a before of the awful light fixture that was in there before.



And here is the after with the fabulous recessed lighting.



We also managed to sell that wood burning stove in the front room, yay! So we took a trip to lowes last night and got the electric fireplace that we have been looking at.



We had Bulkeley Fam dinner at our house this last Sunday and here is a cute Pic Tara took of the munchkins.

Pumpkin Fun!

well, we carved Pumpkins last night and Andi was a big help ;)



Although it was a little scary as we lit the candles to take pictures with our Jack-O-Lanterns Andi kept trying to stick her fingers in the eyes and mouths. But they were very exciting as far as she was concerned.

Big girls make big messes

Well this morning Andi proved yet again how much she can do in a very short period of time. I was putting my make-up on for the day when my phone rang, so I pulled Andi out of the bathroom with me, shut the door(I thought) and ran to get the phone. Approximately 3 minutes later I went back to the bathroom to finish getting ready and when I opened the door this is what I found.


Yes that is Mascara that she rubbed all over her face and clothes and the floor.
I did get the curtain in Andi's room done, well I think my mom did most of the work, but they turned out really cute I think.

Big Helper

So yesterday I was watching Corinne's baby girl Kate. She is 4 months old and very sweet. I was worried about how Andi would react to A)a baby in the house, and B) me holding another baby. I was surprised to see how well she took it. She actually wanted to hold the baby herself, and play with the baby, and give the baby all of her toys at once. She was very interested in Kate and kept going into the bedroom during her nap to try and wake her up. Here are a couple of pictures of Andi trying to hold and play with Kate.
