"Before" & "After"

"Before"

Introducing our new (almost) finished entry!

It is looking pretty good - about a million times better than the before picture!!! :) We will wait for the plaster to cure and then it will be ready for primer! We are very thankful that for the extra time our plaster guy spent to mimic the original plaster pattern. Yeah!!! What a transformation!!! We are so thankful that our house is transforming to become more kid-ready!!!

"After"

I was tyring to get some funny pictures of Beaker - he's really hard to catch in action. He loves his new perch we set up for him yesterday! It lets him get closer to his favorite bell. He used to hang on to the side of the cage & it didn't look easy! He "boxes" with this little bell - he hits it really hard & then moves out of the way so he doesn't get hit - over & over! It's hilarious. Just a minute ago, he was sitting with the bell completely on his head tweeting - when I slowly, quietly tried to take a picture, he hopped towards me. He's done several other funny antics but I was unable to catch them in time.

We talked about it last night & are leaning towards going ahead & taking the Spanish class. If we have to travel, maybe we can beg to cram all the material in before we leave.

I need to pick up the forms to renew Karl's passport today too. We need to get that out in the mail by tomorrow. It's never a dull moment over here!
