Bone , Grute and Deadeye - thank you, we like it too! And it is a "fine place for the kids to romp" around, they have a lot of fun and pretty much enjoy it every chance they can. They are little still, so they are not sick of it, not yet anyway. We have people over all the time all summer long, so we get a lot of use out of our backyard, pool AND the doghouse too. We do not spend much time indoors at all. In addition to our own rugrats, we also have 4 nephews that live next door, although they have a pool too, they are still here all the time playing with our kids.
Don- He does definitely have a lot of wall space...good idea about the pictures...maybe I should hit you up around Christmas time!! Boy, he would love that!! Oh and I have no idea how many square feet the garage has, I think it's 40' x 28', but I'm not positive. It's 40' x something, I just can't remember. And no, it didn't cost a ton of $$, my husband is a carpenter and he built it himself. He works his butt off. I figured this out later, but every time I had a baby, he started a new project. When our daughter was born, he added a new entry way to our house, then our son was born, he built the deck around the pool and redid the basement, then our other son was born, and he built the garage. So there was kind of a pattern, I think that he just wanted to be busy when they were first born...so what better excuse to get out of the house... He's not one to sit around much. Anyway, the best thing about the garage, is that he put an elevator in it, (maybe it's called a lift of something)...anyway he built this thing, and it works awesome. Whenever we want to store something upstairs in the garage, like our lawn furniture, a 4-wheeler, lawn mower ect., all he does is drive it onto the elevator and pushes a button and away it goes! It's awesome! I'll try to see if I can find a picture of it, I know I have one somewhere.
Slayer..where the heck have you been? And of course I will adopt you...YOU COOK TOO! ~extra bonus!! Do you know to make a bon-bon?
Stensethfan,
Show her the picture...ya just never know, she might be looking for a reason to give ya a little boot out to the dog house! lol! ...plus then she could be inside eating those bon-bons!
Bobby,
You asked me "what that poor guy had to do to let me have a place like this....Well, I think I answered that above...the "poor guy" kept knockin' me up! lmao! It's true though. I'd have a baby, and he'd go build something. It worked out nicely, we got a good thing going on.
Ryan,
I just haven't invited you personally, well because honestly, you really haven't been the BEST influence on me lately!! We will have to see how you do once you start your new "sessions".
John,
Your totally going to be invited to the next one!! You have never stirred me in the wrong direction...not even once!! (unlike someone else...!) So your good, Bring your speedo!
Woody- Every Queen should have a palace! LOL, and it looks bigger in the pictures I think....and Change your avatar again...it's still not disturbing enough to me. I want something that's going to jump right out at us and catch our attention again!! Kinda Like Jenny's, every time I look at his, I can't help but laugh and not take him seriously. Now remember though, his is funny, yours always should be disturbing... it's just the way it is, lol!
Jenny, I never wanted you to feel sorry for me...just feel my pain every now and then! Give the queen a break, ya know! Like a good little girlfriend should do!!
And I will have you know Jenny that I have not even had ONE single bon-bon all summer! I swam my a*s off all summer long!! Literally! I'd show you it, but it's GONE, so I can't!! And honestly...what the hell is a bon-bon? For real, I don't have any idea.
Okay, I think that is all of you.
Well, we are now in the process of doing our kitchen, living room and 3-season. I will post some before and after pictures when it's done... And NO, I'm not pregnant! But I did have to make a WHOLE bunch of "deals" with my husband before he would tackle this huge project!! (Besides, most of the time I had my fingers crossed behind my back....so I did a lot of agreeing at the time!) I'd tell you all about the deals, but really only Ryan would understand most of them! I'm starting to think him and my husband really think a lot alike!
whew! that was a long response...took a lot out of me, I'm going to have to go try to find me one of those bon-bon things!
Take Care All!
