Poor little guy. Fever is gone this a.m., but he is so croupy. His little eyes are just running, and he's pretty miserable. Of course, he takes his illness like any man does. NOT VERY WELL! He gripes, he complains, he moans. UG! On the other hand, Sophy started vomiting (Hello E.Jo. Top that.) this a.m. at about 5:45. She only threw up twice and was talking about her bday party between spells. This morning she has rushed to the bathroom a couple of times, but nothing came out (nice visual, eh?) Totally different patient than Sam. In between MENTIONING that she doesn't feel well, she's turning somersaults, coloring, asking to paint her toenails (That's my girl!), and carrying kitty around.
Ok. So you asked for it (well, you didn't, but here it comes anyway!) House pics!
The mantle. These are black and white pics of my dad, my brothers and me, and Mr. Pinkie and his sis.
Now. Here is one side from the room divide. This daybed will eventually have a straight skirt (nnot sure what else to call that), so it will look like a sofa skirt. Also, we'll add more pillows.
The computer armoire has really pretty doors that you can't see in this pic.
This is the dining room side. Yes, it's small, but it's bigger than the pic suggests. I hope to eventually replace the table with one that seats 10, but I still plan on using benches for the side seating and chairs at the head of the table. It's still sort of junky. All of the wall stuff is lying around the room waiting to be put back up.
And!!! I am so excited about this mudroom that is about to be gutted! We'll use the shelf area that is already built in, add a built-in bench under that area, and 2 hooks for each child under one section of shelf. Each kid will have a top and bottom shelf, and 2 hooks on the wall (backpack and coat). FINALLY we'll have a place to put those lunch boxes! UG! Anyway. Paint colors are pending. But the brown is about to say AUDIOS!My mil made these leaf sun catchers for the kids last weekend. Cute, huh?
Last, but no least. Look at this little guy! I bought him unfinished and decopauged (sp?) him. I also bought him a brother who is going to be gold and a sister who is going to be pink with baby birds!! Hehe. Did I mention that I've never actually decopauged before? HHmmm. I haven't. Hopefully, it's not THAT obvious.
Well, show and tell is over boys and girls. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Hope everyone's better in time for turkey. At my house my boy has always been a better patient than his sister.
A mud room would be so nice. My kitchen ends up being the mud room.
Sorry to hear that the kids are sick. Hope that they are on the mend and better before Turkey day. The house looks great! Thanks for sharing all the pictures.
Oh no. You DO have bad luck with sickness and holidays. Maybe they'll get it out of their systems early, so you'll have a few days to enjoy!!!
I love the rooms. I'm still so impressed with your remodeling and craftiness. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Rooms look great! Sorry about the sickness hitting again, like you said though - you just expect it! Hang in there and try to enjoy your Turkey Day!
