House Projects Continue - What else is new?

We had two interested parties this past week, one wanted to schedule a showing and the other wanted additional pictures. Still playing phone tag with the one for the showing and haven't heard back from the one I sent pictures to. Oh no, I hope this isn't how it's going to go!

Today Chris is digging out the south side of the house so we can put in more rock. I am painting the basement. I already put on two gallons and we're only half done, plus...we can tell it is going to need a 2nd coat. Whew.


Luckily, Mason helped us a ton this morning by taking a super long nap.


Speaking of the Mace-meister, we got some good news this week. We got approval from our insurance on the Kid-Kart that we wanted to order for Mason. They only denied 2 things on the order (the kick-out legs and the leg supports). If we want to add on those 2 additional functions, it will cost us $900.00. We are seriously considering it. The benefit of the kick-out legs is that when Mason gets excited and stretches out, the entire seat part of the kart stretches out with him. It's a good way for him to learn to extend his legs and have his hips follow. Yes, we can do without it, but when the therapists met with Mason, they thought it could really benefit him. We aren't sure when we will actually get the kart, as this was just approval from our insurance and we're sure it will take another 2-3 months to actually order it and have it delivered.

I need to make a run for more supplies and then the work will continue. Can't wait for this weekend to be over so we can relax on Monday and watch the Packers kick Favre's butt! My hubby and I decided to buy ourselves a TV for our Anniversary/Christmas so we get to watch the game in HD! :)

Hope everyone is enjoying this fall weekend!
