Lake House

Dreams do come true!!

We continue to progress with our amazing dream of Last Chance as we start building our summer home. The truth is, I could be happy the rest of my life living in our 5th wheel at the lake. I have loved the summers we have spent in the 5th wheel and there is a piece of me that will really miss my trailer-trash life. ha ha ha.

I'm sure I will adjust to our new lifestyle.

We are so lucky to be building our dream summer home with Rick's parents. We are sharing the home with them and look forward to all the excitement ahead.

Here is the beginning of the project....

Funny things my kids say .....

-- Mallory was watching T.V. when a preview came on for an upcoming movie called Coraline. She came and asked me to please come turn on Coraline for her to watch in the theater. I told her that I was sorry, but I don't have that movie and I can't turn it on for her. She continued to beg and cry for me to turn it on, she even took me by the hand into the theater. I was getting frustrated with her and explained, "Mallory, I cannot turn it on for you, I don't have the movie. We have to go see it at a theater." She said, "Mom, the T.V. said it is now playing in theaters everywhere!" Poor little girl ... this life is so confusing for a 3 year old. Shouldn't it play in our home theater too!
-- Mallory was having one of those days where she was being very defiant. I was putting her in her bed and I said, "Mallory, do you think that tomorrow you could wake up and be a good girl and choose the right." She said, "okay mom, I'll choose the right, not the left."
-- Lindsie was busy doing her homework tonight and was talking about warm blooded vs. cold blooded. She was telling Troy that humans are considered mammals because "we have hair." Troy immediately said, "So Uncle Jeremy isn't a mammal" (Uncle Jeremy shaves his head bald) I was laughing so hard I was crying. Sorry, Jeremy, your not a mammal like the rest of us!
-- We were getting ready for the Halloween party. The basement was all decked out with spooky sounds and decorations. Mallory said, "mom, I'm so scared." I said, "It's okay Mallory, its just pretend, it's just Halloween." She said, "but mom, I'm only a child."
---Today I was making lunch for Mallory. I got out the bread and started spreading peanut butter all over it. Mallory started to cry and said in a very upset tone, "no, mom I don't want peanut butter on my bread!" So I said, "well what do you want on it?" Mallory said "I just want my bread to be naked."
---Mallory's preschool teacher emailed me and told me this funny story about Mallory. They were doing science centers and talking about what sinks and what floats. After they were finished she heard Mallory calling to her from the bathroom, "teacher, teacher, come see ... my poop is floating! She said Mallory was so excited about this new discovery.
