Some noteworthy progress!

Kudos to our easygoing builder for letting us start on the basement before the rest of the house is completed. It may just be completed before the rest of the house. :)

We are working hard to get it all ready for Christmas! There is much much more room down there than upstairs so that is the goal. A big thanks to mom and dad again for keeping the girls occupied while we painted again tonight. Thanks for letting them tag along to the pumpkin patch also.

Dave and I (mainly I) :) painted most of the day. I took the day off to watch Lauren while he was finishing a patio project here at mom and dad's and I have to say it turned out beautiful. Good job Dave (and Butch)!! Here is a picture of the finished product....aka..our rent. Bring on the firepit and the smores.

The "two twins" came over this morning to help keep "Lowlen" company while I continued to paint. Needless to say, they all three got a little dusty in the process but fun was had by all. Here are some cute pictures of them.

"PEEK"

"Fun in the shower"

"my helpers"

a little Sesame Street and snacks never hurts...

and here's the almost finished product.....

AND....as promised.....the livingroom "to scale" "Sutton style"

I actually have some more to post...but...this computer is in mom and dad's room and they have already gone to bed.......

and I have to admit....it's freaking me out a little in this "love shack." :)
