Tile work

We've recently had some tile work done at our house!  Our front room (aka the pool table/man cave) room, was carpeted ever since we moved in.  It was kinda nasty, very "worn" because it is a very high traffic room - you have to walk through it to get up or downstairs, or into our kitchen, family room, laundry room.  I would have loved to replace the carpet with hardwood floors, but unfortunately, hardwood floors are not too popular in the southwest!  People in these parts much prefer tile, and we put that into consideration as we know we won't be here forever & we will have to sell this house at one point!  So we had the carpet  (and there was a little bit of old "ugly" tile by the front door) all ripped up and had all matching, beautiful tile put down!  It looks fabulous!  And since the front room goes right into the kitchen, we are going to have the tile guy come back after our vacation in June to rip up the kitchen tile and put the new tile in the kitchen as well!  This way everything will match, and look great!  Here are some pics of the tile process!  (I was gone the morning the carpet was ripped up, so I never got a pic of just the carpet!)

Out of the Loop!

Soo sorry we've been out of the loop!  We've (Molly & I) been pretty sick!  I'll rewind back to Mother's Day and catch you up on whats been going on! 
I had a wonderful Mother's Day!  I can't believe it was my second one already!  Gunnar and Molly got up early and made me my favorite breakfast, pumpkin pancakes! And my Mother's Day gift from them was as FABULOUS pair of Christian Louboutin heels! (They have the famous red soles!)  ~ We spent the day as a family just relaxing and enjoying each other!  It was perfect!

My delicious breakfast!

My new kicks!

Saturday night (the night before Mother's Day) when I went to bed, I went in to check on Molly, and when I kissed her forehead, she was burning up!  So I took her temperature and it was 104!!  She's never had that high of a fever!  So I woke her up and Gunnar & I put her in a cold bath gave her some Tylenol etc.  The whole time, she was acting completely normal, talking, laughing, and thinking it was soo cool to be up late with Mommy & Daddy!  I have the number for a 24 hour nurse line, so I called them and they gave me some suggestions on what to do with Molly (since it was midnight and I'd never get a hold of her doctor)  So the next day (Mother's Day) she had a high fever on and off, it was the weirdest thing, and she wasn't eating much.  She was super cuddly, and as much as I hate it when she is sick, I love it a little b/c all she wants to do is snuggle!  Monday morning, she was really acting strange, very lethargic, whiny, crying a lot and had the fever again, so I took her to the doctor and found out that she had an ear infection (Her first one ever!) and.....STREP THROAT!  (When the doctor said the word strep, I immediately flashed to all of our cuddle time the past 2 days, and just had a feeling I was going to get it too)  So they put her on amoxicillin and after a few doses she was back to her old self!  Me on the other hand.....by Wednesday I was feeling pretty crappy, every time I swallowed, it felt like I was swallowing broken glass, so I went to the Dr. and sure enough, Molly was kind enough to pass the strep along to me! and I got put on the amoxicillin too!  NOT a fun week at the Fox house!  (And ofcoarse, Gunnar bypassed the strep!  Just like he bypassed the stomach bug Molly and I had back in the winter!)  So I'd say now, a full week after all that fun began, we're back to our old selves! 

Our sick little girl! (This was the morning I took her to the doctor)

Snoozin with Daddy!

The floor is just right!

I really have no idea why Molly does this, but.....she naps - on the floor by her bedroom door!  Everyday! (well everyday that she actually takes a nap) I can't figure out why she does this!  She has a nice comfy bed to sleep in, but insists on bringing her Minnie and blanky with her to sleep on the floor!  She usually tears apart her room first, which means she emptys her drawers completely.  She really can't do much more damage than that, because everything else has been taken out of her room as I was getting really tired of her room being a disaster!  Anywho, so Molls got really quiet, so I decided to go check on her (since I couldn't see her at all via the video monitor) and sure enough....this is where I found her!  I guess the floor is juuuuustt right! :)

 

Lazy Sunday

We're having a lazy Sunday over here!  Molly is kicking back in her new couch with some cereal, Minnie, and the mini DVD player watching, what else....but Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with her best pal! - Who is sitting so stinkin close to her, he might as well be sitting on the couch with her!  Oh Arn!

Best Friends!
