House Update and "Are you Lucky?"

So since we moved into our house on Monday, I have been without the internet and tv. I could still check my email and facebook on my iphone, but anything else took way too long to bring up. So ahhhhh, it feels great to be back. Still no tv, missed SYTYCD and it was painful knowing I was missing it. I'm going to my Father In law's this afternoon because I know it taped there :)

So without further ado/adew/ahdu, adue? you know what I'm trying to say.

So here is the before of our deck we have 1300 sq. ft. of redwood that wasn't maintained well and we were 5 dollars short of the 40k it would cost to replace, so we did a 5-10 yr fix


this is the refinished deck looking out my front door


this is looking to the right

and looking to the left

this part winds around to the driveway/garage



This is the living room before we replaced the 30 year old gnarly carpet and slapped a fresh coat of paint on the walls.


This is behind our house

this is from the master deck

This is from our first night in the house celebrating in the hot tub. We were all in it but Andrew doesn't mind being photographed in his suit :)


As I finish putting together the rest of the house I will post more photos of the rooms.

So the "Lucky" story. The other week Andrew and I were discussing who has a penis. He is very intrigued by his own and often brings it up as a topic of conversation. One of his favorites to have is who has one. He lists people, ie "Does Grandpa have one?" "Does Nana have one?" "Do you have one?" Finally I explained that just boys have them. And he of course asked, "how come just boys have them?" I told him that I guessed they were just lucky. That answer satisfied for the time being. So a few days later we are at dinner with Grandpa and Andrew asks him, "Grandpa, are you lucky?" I had to explain to Grandpa what he meant. I later told Drew that maybe we shouldn't make a habit of asking this question at the dinner table. Fast forward a few days later and he tells Jason, "Daddy, you're lucky!" We are in the car driving a few days ago, not really talking and Andrew asks, "Mommy, are butts lucky?"

Oh dear!!!
