The kids made us a classic, a snow bubble chair!

Ahh, more places to explore!

Toilet in the living room! What a great idea Eric! Why didn't I think of that!

Garage sale items, first come, first serve!

Did the Leprechauns visit Avery's room again! No, it is just another Peterson construction zone...

Just another week of construction chaos at the Peterson household!

What?!? she wants another window! This one look fine, I tell you fine!

Almost in...

And we have a window! Another one.. the third in this house!

Do you really want this blue!?

And it is almost done... just need to wax the floor! Look no ceiling fan to hit the cupboards!

And Mike and Ben said I couldn't get this done in a day! To that I say, 'Ha... ha ha ha!'

The joys of home construction.
(We do thank goodness everyday for the condo construction workers. We are looking forward to a reprieve of home labor besides cleaning)

Mission Impossible... Will Ella follow the trail?

Down to two..... can she do it folks? Are treats enough to get her to follow the path?

And she did it!

Color color every where!

The action shot!

Fun coloring Easter eggs!

Hello.. from the land of studying!

Hi All!

Well, the winter has almost ended in Minnesota. We did just get hit with another few inches, though that quickly melted thank goodness! It has been a busy few weeks. Last week especially was nuts. Eric had a huge proposal to go out to Quatar, yes, I did say Quatar. I was studying for the LEED test to become a LEED AP designer. For those of you who don't know about LEED it has to do with green design check out http://www.usgbc.org/ for more information. I scheduled to take the test on an especially green day. St. Patrick's Day! I wore my green bamboo sweater. Yes, I do really have a sweater made out of bamboo and it is really green. Green for green baby! It was an incredibly hard test, I studied and memorized numbers, codes and crazy information for about 50 hours last week, on top of my job, and oh, yeah and I can't forget the rest of the family.....Avery had swimming on Tuesday night, dance on Wednesday night and a performance on Thursday night. Kai had a volleyball game on Friday night and we ended up opting out of the silent auction at Avery's school on Friday night out of pure exhaustion. Anyhow, I passed the test! Yay! Then promptly went to the bar to meet people for a proper Irish lunch and beer at The Local. We are all doing well and looking forward to life slowing down, we are not really sure when that is going to happen, but you can always hope!

Have a great day!

Love,

The mommy, step-mom and wife. (Last but not least, honey!)

We love our view!

Is this really the condo! Yay!

Check out the condo!

The condo through the yellow glass. (looking in from he top of the Guthrie parking ramp) Our unit is the one just above the last layer of insulation. As you can see they have started insulation on our floor and soon it will be clad in red metal!

The kids being funny at the Gold Medal Park across the street from the condo. (Yep, Eric is the biggest kid of all!)

Ella's new favorite spot... since the sofa in the living room has since been rented. (I have to stop renting our furniture, it seems to be traumitizing my daughter, as she asked me the other day to stop giving our furniture away! :) For those of you who don't know I get houses ready to sell and sometimes they are without furniture, at which point I provide them with furniture... ours.

Check him out in action.... perhaps we should be nice and get him some knee pads!
