And Then I Touched It.

Sometimes I wish our house was finished, just so we could live in it you know? But it's not! However, we did get all of the windows in, storm windows taken off, and the new windows caulked--which I even learned to do. I also assisted in taking off some of the storm windows...and successfully broke one of the huge ones. Glass. Everywhere. Yay, me!

Here is what our house looks like without all the nasty storm windows:

Our house on a prettier day!

Yay! Every time we drive by it I say hello and smile because it just looks so much better!

Sunday came around last week and My Honeypie was all like, "What do you want to do?" and normally we take turns picking/arguing about whose turn it is to pick. Except for this day I said, "Let's go take a walk at our house!" So we did. and found this:

Rwaaaar! It's a cow skull.

To the Window!

Dear Dad,

If you want to help with the windows, then you'd better get home fast! Apparently they are really easy to do. Actually, either way I think the big windows will still be around :)

Love,

Alisha

After My Honeypie finished the drainage last night, he installed our first new window! Actually, our first three new windows!

We so need to paint.

I didn't get a picture of the third window. Twas too dark! but we replaced the window to the right of the door.

I wasn't around for the demo when Window World came, so I asked My Honeypie to show me all the cool ish our window does:

After the demonstration My Honeypie went to install a couple more.

No, he did not pee on himself. He just got water all over himself from the spout outside.

That's pretty much it, but I am so in love with them!

Yay for Window World! and my hardcore Honeypie.

Picky and Picnik

So turns out our windows won't be done until this Wednesday...We will be picking them up on Thursday! We hope :)

On a different note, I forced my little sisters to do a photo shoot with me. I can take decent pictures of "stuff", but I need much more practice with people. The pictures are all edited differently because I'm playing around with this photo editing site called Picnik.  It's pretty much a super simple, way cheaper version of Photoshop. I really like it because when it comes to Photoshop I'm completely challenged. Plus, it's free! *or you can pay to upgrade. whatev.

I know that these are far from perfect (like the above picture--totally a weed in the middle of her face!)...but practice makes perfect, right?

Anyway, you can also do sweet stuff like this on Picnik too:

I tried doing that on Photoshop and it was a total bust. I love these little art thingys! I find quotes that I really like that have already been made into these little subway art pieces, but they aren't exactly what I want...like this:

But now I can make it exactly how I want! Like so:

and I'm all like, "Cute!" but it doesn't have everything I want. I told you, I'm picky. With Picnik I made this:

It's just how my picky self wants it! Yay for Picnik!
