Fun Times at the Duplex

We are remodeling the duplex #1 apartment right now. We're turning the laundry room into a bathroom like they did on the other side before I was even born, remodeling the kitchen, and painting the whole apartment. I really like playing in the duplex because it's such a mess and there are interesting tools everywhere. 

Here is a picture of the bathroom after Bill Staiger and Ardian broke up the concrete and put in plumbing for the toilet and bathtub.

Bill also retiled the kitchen floor and added more support to it so it doesn't bounce and squeak anymore. He put in new cabinets, a new countertop, a new oven, and new light fixtures.  He still has to put in tile for the backsplash, but as you can see it's looking really good. Bill is a very good craftsman. Notice how well he did the filler strips around the sink and dishwasher where there were gaps between the cabinets.

Snow... again!

This morning I slept in until 8:00--a full hour later than usual! I was really tired last night because I had run around like a crazy man with my cousins and played ishie with Dad for several hours. I might have slept even longer but I awoke to the loud sound of little hard balls of white stuff bouncing off the roof. 

It's an hour and a half later now and the little balls have turned into big snowflakes. Dad says it's not supposed to be snowing this late in the year. I don't know if I believe him. We've had snow like this for over one third of my lifetime and I don't know why it would stop now. 

I don't mind really. The snow is fun to play in, except it's really cold if you touch it. Also, when there's snow outside I get to wear my moon boots, which are really awesome. In fact, they're so great, I like to wear them inside, too.

Waiting for Baff Time With Dad

A few days ago, Dad was taking forever to get ready for Baff Time With Dad (which I really like), so I decided to have a better look at the interesting things Dad leaves on his night stand. Unfortunately, it's a bit high for me when I'm not on the bed, and Mom and Dad don't usually let me stay on the bed very long because they think I squirm around too much and they don't think it's as funny as I do when I whack them in the face with my milkies. 

In the past I could only get to a few things around the edges of the nightstand, but Mom got this really cool drum for me and as you can see it's pretty useful. I can't really remember what's in the plastic bag I'm holding. There was obviously a lot of interesting stuff to check out, and there was a phone so I could tell Nana about it. Nana doesn't always talk back when I call her, but the phone makes lots of fun noises and lights when I push the buttons.

By the way, Mom thinks I have a really cute bum. She thinks Dad has a cute bum too.

Mmm... Tseats!

Tonight mom had to go visiting teaching so I got to stay home and play with dad. Dad is great because he lets me eat "tseats." Tseats are really delish. In fact, I really don't see why they make me eat anything besides tseats. I could probably eat tseats all day.
