Our Week, in pictures

[Mommy]

Feel free to take guesses at how this week has progressed...

We are getting new siding put on our house. When they were tearing down the old wood, one worker didn't change out his saw blade and... cut through our drywall. And punched a hole in it (with a hammer, I suppose). The cut goes from high up to just into the baseboard. Cut open the back of the new couch, too.

So we are getting a wall that will be painted (it has already been patched) and a fixed or replaced couch... the company has been very responsive and apologetic.

Teagan got bit or stung by something, or got a splinter. Her foot is much improved from the other day. She is on antibiotics and has to soak her foot twice a day in warm water and epsom salt. If it isn't looking significantly better (it was red, swollen, warm and she was limping) by Monday, we go to the next step which will be invasive, as the doc put it.

And my baby boy got his first real injury today. Fell down while playing- sat down hard. And scraped his fat little leg. It was very red and angry looking after it happened. And what is left is the scrape at the top of his thigh, near where his diaper sits. It hasn't seemed to make him too cranky but I can't imagine it feels good, either.

So- we are fine. It has just been a week filled with catastrophes. Jeff will be gone next week at a gaming convention so I'm really hoping we have a quieter week than what we've had in the past week.

The good news is that my living room/dining room wall is getting painted!! We got to pick the color (I figured it would be too hard to color match to the rest of the walls). It's going to be a light warm brown color. It should tie the room together nicely.

And the siding, which is not quite done, looks awesome. We are going from old-school wood that was painted a blue-grey to vinyl, bright, "adobe cream" which is really like a pale yellow. I love it and can't wait to show pics!!
