Brrr... it's really cold in here!

When Lucas crawled in our bed Saturday night at 2AM, we smelled a burning plastic smell. It took us a while to figure out that it was from the furnace, but we did and turned it off Sunday morning when we got up. After we aired out the house, we tried turning it back on and got the same nasty smell. So, off it went again. Peter called the heating guys bright and early yesterday morning and we were told that the blower was shot and there were some other issues that we were going to have to fix in the near future. With all that information, we decided to for go the nickeling and diming and just replace the unit. We will finally have heat in the whole house tomorrow afternoon!!! Right now we have the fireplace going and a little heater in the dining room and that helps this end of the house, but the bedrooms are FREEZING!!! I'm so glad its not so cold outside... it could be a lot worse in here!!

I started on Pam's bag last night... I think it's going to be a fun project. And a little more challenging than others, but I don't mind. Keeps the mind sharp. :) I think it's going to look really cute!

Not a whole lot else going on so far this week. Just same old, same old. I am hoping to have Pam's bag done by Saturday and then get some more wallpaper stripping done Saturday... we'll see how that goes though. Peter is planning on being gone for most of the day at an auction, and I'm hoping he can take one boy with him. It's amazing how much quieter it is here with just one kid gone! Pam and I are also planning on getting together tomorrow night for sister time. I'm looking forward to that. We meet up with no kids for a couple hours and just unwind... and enjoy the peace and quiet! :)

Kimberly's teeth are STILL not though and she's getting really cranky this week. I'm hoping they pop though soon so she will be able to sleep better. (And then I will sleep better too...) She has started to say amen automatically when we pray before and after mealtime. She gets a huge grin on her face everytime too. So cute! She seems to have a special bond with Lucas. He can always get her laughing so hard she gets hiccups. lol It's fun to watch them two together.

Anyway, time's a wasting and work isn't gettin' done. Time to get the whip cracking and finish up with laundry.
