My Name is Linda and I LOVE 'Debris!'

Louis Dean and I worked on the laundry room today!

It looks so clean and fresh and OPEN!!!

Trust me! This didn't last long!

I looked at it as a blank canvas or a plain dress ready for acessories!!

I THOUGHT I wanted shelves behind the washer and dryer to set things on!

Then I decided to just set them ON the washer and dryer!!!

We are not through by a long shot but we DID make a lot of progress!!

The trim is just tacked up and we need to buy some thin trim for around the top. I have to stain a few places so will plan to do that tomorrow when I have my art - and turpentine - out!

Louis Dean has felt poorly all day long. We took his blood pressure and it was really low.

As in low enough that I monitored it all day long. By this evening it was nearly normal.

He could tell it was because he said he felt better.

Even so he managed to take me to Home Depot where we picked out under the counter lighting and one for the top as well as a new ceiling light. He'll put that one up when he feels better.

I like all things 'warm and cozy.'

I also am sentimental about the things people have given me.

As in the tea towel from my friend, Linda, from Occasional Scotland.

All of these things have been my treasured debris for years and years.

The baskets provide good storage places and my new cupboards have room to spare!

Progress was made in the laundry room but this reality shot shows what a mess the kitchen is in!!

I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of the den!!! It is even worse!

Yesterday (Sunday) was spent with the quads in Quadville!!

I woke up to the smell of sausage and eggs! Granddad had breakfast all  prepared!

I fixed a cup of coffee in the Keurig and cleaned up the play room.

I think kids play better when it starts off all neat and tidy!

Not that it stays that way for long!!

Logan was feeling better Sunday!!

Granddad used his camera and took some fine photos!

He took close to TWO HUNDRED pics!!!!

I wasn't in the playroom when he took these so I was surprised to see these!

Apparently Kailey got in the middle of the quilt and used it as a sled as the other three pulled her!

They were all so CUTE!!!!

I could watch them play all day long!

And sometimes I DO!!!

We took Maggie with us since we were staying overnight on Saturday.

The kids MAY have given her one treat too many!!!

We practiced drinking from cups with no straws!

I gave them water in their play cups and they were pretty good at drinking it without spills!

I poured just enough to cover the bottom of the cups.

The babies love phones! I show them pictures on mine.

I am forever looking for my phone - or camera!!!

I used Louis Dean's to call mine and boy, oh, boy! Was I surprised when Kailey ANSWERED it!!!

She also likes to take my camera!

When the babies were upstairs resting - I was downstairs doing the same!

Amber and Mike have this cool video where we can see the nurseries on their TV.

This is Logan and Trystan's room.

They played a little while before going to sleep.

Trystan was trying to nap and Logan kept bringing her some stuffed animals.

Harrison and Kailey started off in their beds......

but they ended up going to sleep elsewhere!

Kailey is on the floor and Harrison conked out on the chair!!

The Texas Heat continues this week. I'm just grateful it hasn't been this way all summer!!

We have been battling allergies again. Louis Dean has itching watering eyes and I have a sinus headache.

Tomorrow is another day and I am sure hoping we feel better!

Miss Maggie continues to improve. However, we MUST keep the bathroom door closed or she pees and poops on the rug!! Yes, we forgot to close it after Louis Dean took a bath!
