Home Renovation project Fall 2013

We are in the process a never ending home renovation project.  Never. ending.  We started planning and contacting people about this project in January and here we sit in the middle of September.  The big parts are done but it's the smaller stuff that is taking forever.  Painting a room, or should i say rooms from scratch is no joke.  Luckily, Matt has painting in his genes passed down from the Meyer side but his perfectionist ways keep this project going. There have been many helpers in this project and believe me we are thankful because without the help, we may have lost our minds by now. Oh wait, we did anyway.  But you know what I mean.  You know what they say, it takes a village to complete a home reno project :-)

I mean I really shouldn't complain because I have done none of the hard labor this project requires but the young sales guy at CarpetOne does knows me as the crazy pregnant lady who can't make up her mind about the damn  carpet already.  And I watch and entertain the kids (again, with help) so that our they stay out of the way and we don't end up with painted footprints all over the house.

So hopefully this project will be done before this next baby arrives.  We have some more room moves before then but it will all be worth it in the end.

In the mean time, I want to share a few Adrienneisms:

-I wanna play Connect Fork!  (Connect Four)
-I'm gonna call one a your names (playing any gain that involves throwing something - future phys ed. teacher in training)
-Can we go to the candy island? (Can we go to the candy aisle? At Wegmans)

And some random recent pictures I found on my phone:

Summer 2013

I know what you're thinking...that I've given up on the blog.  But I'm back.  See, the problem is that our weekends are busy busy busy and the evenings during the week are for laying on the couch (obviously).  That doesn't leave much time for the genius that goes into writing and maintaining a blog,  Especially one as genius as this one.    So I'm attempting a new strategy and that is to write shorter blogs, more often.   This way, I'm not pressured to spin you an enchanting tale every time I want to really just share a quick thought or a picture.

So here's a quick blurb about our summer:

We had a fantastic summer.  Lots of playing with neighborhood kids, Ghost in the Graveyard, pool time, lake time, trips to the water park, concerts, Camp Sisol and of course the pinnacle of our summer, a week at Dewey Beach.  Here are some pics of our fun:
