And these I don't really have befores of and also clarifies where some things are laid out in the house....

This is the main hallway from the front door. The first door is the Harry Potter bathroom. The second door is a large closet, and behind that you see what will be the mudroom.

Harry Potter bathroom. Small half bath that sits tucked under the main staircase.

Back hallway the goes from the kitchen into the living room.

Future mudroom.

This is not drawn to scale at all, but maybe it will help with how the house is laid out for anyone who is curious.

Main Floor

Second Floor

Obviously there are still a tons of projects left to conquer. both big and small. And the basement and third floor have barely been touched. The third floor has had some work done and I would take pictures but we a young adult currently living in that space. Kind of an adopted son in a sense. Anyway, the room has been painted and a lot of ugly has been removed. But there is plenty of more work to be performed up there. Also, we have back staircase that is located right off the kitchen, likely the servants staircase and it still needs painted.

I think that covers the six month progress. There are still boxes to unpack. All in time.....

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show. I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless. I read anyway. Spoilers? Not bothered. Let me give some back story here. At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine. Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar. I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly. I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper. I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing. Who knew? This fu...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
