Mini Post Monday

  • You know you're a home schooling family when it is time for dinner, and your husband says, "I'll just try to make some room here to eat amidst the math and art supplies..."
  • It's not that bad, right?
  • We were driving to one of my friend's houses, who happens to live very close to a Subway.  As we drove past the Subway, Ethan said, "She lives so close to a Subway!  I bet *she's* had a $5 footlong!"
  • Andrew has decided that shirts are for the birds.  He cries when I make him wear one.  Since I already make him cry for important stuff like not running out in the street and saying "Please" before getting something, I have decided to let the shirt thing go. He'd be really happy if I also let him take off his shorts and diaper, but hey, I have to draw the line somewhere!
  • I am already having visions of this kid as a teen, sitting on the couch in nothing but his boxers, half the refrigerator at his side, watching sports.  Joy.
  • I joined a Bunco group.  Does that make me old?  I really love my Bunco nights.  Does *that* make me old?
  • The bathroom progress continues.  We now have some of the wainscot up, the crown moulding up, the texture on the walls and ceiling, and paint on the ceiling.  I don't know if that storage unit will fit in the end product, but it matches the piece we bought to put the sink on.  It's not here yet, though...
Jerry has to completely refigure the plumbing for our new sink...This is the start.

The unpainted part is where the shower tile is going to go. In this picture, you can also see the crown moulding and ceiling paint. Just try to ignore the wainscot in the tub...

This picture shows the wainscot with top moulding and a storage piece.  The table for the sink is that same dark brown with rattan drawer fronts, echoing the rattan baskets in this one.

VERY nice bathroom. I want your bathrooms. Ethan is hilarious. I totally dig your homeschool table and...Bunco? For reals though?

Well... if Bunco makes you old then I am old too. It just doesn't seem right. :-) It is, by far, my favorite night of the month!

Okay, Stacey and Joanna, you are just going to have to experience a bunco night of your own so that you can join the old farts club, too. Because really? Old farts have fun at bunco. For reals.

I looked up Bunco on Wikipedia and it said, "Bunco is particularly popular with middle-aged housewives." Doesn't that sound terrible!

Johanna said...

Middle-aged housewives??? That is so wrong. I mean, it may be true, but it is so, so wrong. First of all, I am not middle aged. Secondly, I am so much more than a housewife. Right?

Joanna said...

I know, isn't it horrible?

Bunco sounds like Yahtzee.
