A Heck of a Week!

This past week started awesome!  On Monday, Anthony and I both had snow days and it continued throughout the week!  Yahoo!  Who doesn't love a snow day, or a snow week for that matter?  Even the pups got into the action and would play outside! Unfortunately, our happy week hit a heck of a snag with the overflowing of a toilet, the flooding of a basement, and the knowledge that our septic system was a mess that was going to cost a pretty expensive penny...  Ah, the joys of home ownership.

To pass the time we worked on the nursery.  Well, Anthony, worked hard on the nursery.  He has built the furniture, put together the closet, and hung the curtains.  He was a very busy Daddy-in-practice this week!

the pups playing in the back (notice their brand new collars!)

Bogey eyeballing the neighbors

the flooded basement (Fluet wet vac'ed the basement for hours all by himself!)

the collapsed drop down panels

the gray you see is the disintegrated concrete pipe of the septic system (which lead to the flooding)

the new pipes! Yahoo!

Guess Who's Room?

my favorite piece- a tall changing table!

the dresser

this toy chest was Anthony's when he was a little boy!

his Pepe, paternal grandfather, made it for him! 

the lighting was awful when I took these pics (7am) so this is

the only picuture I could get with both curtains.   

Anthony's bookshelf from when he was little. 

Another one of Pepe's making.

As you can tell, lots of things still need to be done to the nursery.  We are waiting on the glider, which is more of a comfy recliner/glider mix, it was special ordered a few weeks ago.  Letter blocks for Henry's name need to be picked out, lamps need to be bought, and half a dozen other little things need to be completed as well.  I will keep everyone posted on our progress.
