You know how we like projects around here…. so we’ve decided to finish the basement! Starting with Jake’s office/music room. It’s coming along really well, although Jake didn’t think he was going to survive the drywall process… As you can see, he did.
Our whole basement is in absolute shambles. But I keep reminding myself that in a few more weeks this whole disaster will start reaping rewards….. like the family room that will be on the other side of this wall.
Ya, that’s my man. :o) He’s tough.
Classic Jake quote, “I didn’t realize this paint sprayer was going to, you know, spray paint all over.”
He decided to just spray the open ceiling white instead of putting up drywall in his room. It actually turned out looking pretty good! I admit, the idea kind of freaked me out at first. But anyways, that paint sprayer really did fling the stuff ALL OVER so we had to don these wonderful head/face/hair protection get ups.
Nice, eh?? (Do you see that giant mess behind me!? See! I wasn’t kidding!)
Here’s a little sneak peak! One corner of the room is this lime green color and the rest is white. It’s super fun and we’re excited to be making real progress now. The flooring will be in soon, then we can move in the rug and desk and drums and posters and vinyl cutter and mini fridge and guitars. Talk about a man cave.
More to come!
PURE. AWESOMENESS.
(Don’t you LOVE that bed head?!)
We’re soooo excited that little miss seems to be taking right to potty training! She still needs a diaper at bed time but yesterday she used the potty 3 times. And so far today she’s been using the potty ALL THE WAY!!! (TMI ALERT: Even #2)
Way to go baby girl!!!!
Gideon, of course cannot be one-uped by his sister so he is FINALLY making some progress in this department as well. He was very excited to pick out his “Buzz Lightyear Underwears” and we’re very excited to be moving away from the diaper phase for both of them! Even if it means letting him sit on the potty chair while watching Sesame Street. (Just being honest.)
Look at this boy….
These two are just sweet enough to eat. They’re so much fun and we have been soooo busy! Here’s some random shots from all the stuff that we’ve had going on.
Gid-Man beat boxes.
Cheezin’ it up while we’re working on the basement.

Building tents!
Waayyyyy back on Christmas morning.
And another. (How did I not blog these??)
Gideon’s 3rd Birthday happened! Love that boy.
Around Christmas, I decided that giving up computer time (in the basement, out of "eyesight") was a necessary sacrifice to improve the state of my house and the amount of time spent playing with my two adorable kiddos.
But, I will say this....
There's going to be a new member of the Doan family...
(Did I trick you?!)
Anyways, I'm getting a shiny new laptop in the very near future so I can blog from the comfort of my cushy couch, or kitchen table, or (let's be honest) my bed.
Be back soon!
