Fall Leaves

So last weekend Derek raked the front yard...you wouldn't think he did by the looks of it now. But as he was raking i bundled Kylie up in her winter bunting and outside we went. She decided she needed to play n the leaves...can you find Kylie?

There she is!!!

Who wants to lay down...

when you can sit up!!

Kylie got a Bumbo chair and even though we only use it for a few minutes at a time, she LOVES it! So now not only do we do tummy time, we have bumbo time!

I love my Bumbo!!

She was looking at some thing and went cross eyed!

Taquito enjoys tummy time too!

More home improvement

So in our basement we have three rooms. One we use as a guestroom with a bathroom, but it doesn't have a window, so it's not really a bedroom. Then a room that we can only assume was used as a huge closet by the previous owners and then the family room. Well, we decided we needed a bit more room, especially since Kylie will eventually have more toys then I'll know what to do with. So we have decided to knock the wall down between the large closet and the bedroom and put in an egress window. We found a guy who did it in a day!! Here are the before and after pics.

Here is the large closet, the wall on the left is coming down and the small window is becoming an egress. The picture on the left shows the small window.

Here is the same large closet with the egress window. They got it done in a day! We just have to wait for the inspector to come on Tuesday!

Now that it's done we can begin demo on the rest of the basement!!

Also, I got a new chandelier for over the kitchen table and new window treatments in the livingroom!!

Home Improvement

So the City of Crystal has this event every other year that we like to call...Take Your Crap to the Curb Day. You bring your unwanted stuff to the curb, there are a few stipulations, and the city has it hauled away. This year we brought a bunch of furniture, including our kitchen table, down to the curb. Most of it gets claimed by the peeps driving around looking to add other peoples crap to their house.

So for the past couple weeks we have been sans kitchen table. Which is fine, we normally eat in the livingroom. But that will all change now that Ky-Ky is here. Time to start eating around the dinner table! We also got a matching buffet, which kinda made it all seem like alot of stuff in a small room, but hey, we're still working on the home improvement stuff.

Here are pics!

We root for the home team!

Our friends Matt and Niki got Kylie her first Twins shirt. It has a name on the back and everything...this one is Justin Morneau's shirt. We'll get to wear it one more time this year(unless...)
