Demon Cat!

Well I broke down, and let the boys have a cat! Momentary lapse of sanity, that is for sure! We have had him about 2 months now, so he is around 4 months old. His name is Asgard- the Humane Society named him.... Interesting fellow this cat. I feel like this couple in a Geico Commercial that adopt a rescue panther

.... Yep, that's my kitten! Most people that meet him readily admit he is Satan's Spawn, but he is growing on me, and has been firmly planted in my boys' hearts from day one.
They do get along... it was quite a surprise to me!
As if folding laundry isn't painful enough.. now I have to watch out what towel I grab because this is waiting for me!
Well, he USED to like to walk along the side of the tub while I take a bubble bath.... Let's just say that for a cat, he does an amazing impersonation of a piranha!  OUCH!  He isn't allowed in with me much, and he keeps a pretty good distance from the tub!
Gotta love trying to do anything on the computer with him around... SATAN'S FURBALL!!
But all in all, he is pretty cute, and I wouldn't give him back...... Today.

Proof that my animals fight like Jesters....

Some Home Reno Pics

Thought you guys would enjoy some pics of all the work we have been doing!

I recently refinished a piece of furniture that I remember from my childhood.  It needed it too!  Now it is in my dining room to give us somewhere to store thing that don't need to be on the table!!  WOOT!

I also just painted these cute frames to use for some engagement photos for my sister-not sure when YOU all get to see them, but they are adorable if I do say so myself!  I loved how they worked here, and can't wait to get some family photos done to put in them!! 

Entry way Before... EW... Nasty Carpet!!


Entry after:
We took up the nasty carpet, and did hard wood!  SOO much better looking... now to refinish the door!

NASTY kitchen floor before we re did it!!

Kitchen floor AFTER!! I can't even tell you how much nicer it is!!  I am so in love with it!!


Some Demo work in the kitchen... refinishing that room still.....

Another piece of furniture I refinished..  Works great for holding blankets in the Family Room!  Always love curling up in a blanket for a good movie (like LOTR) or a book!!

How amazing are these little baskets!  Makes it nice to have some fruit down where the kid monster can get to it!  Now I just have to watch out for the half eaten fruit all over the house!!

Kitchen before and after.  The kitchen was a dingy white color before I remembered to take the before photo, so it got a nice coat of paint!  I LOVE my cabinets with this design, and a SO happy that I went for the black on the drawers!  We still have a ways to go in this room, but it already feels so much better!

This shows the hardwood pretty good prior to the new finish going down.




Things are really coming along.  We have a lot more to do though.. Hoping to get a new back door, the bathroom re done, and then start on the Master suite and bedroom downstairs!!
