Danielle says good-bye and we have a new playroom!

I was a bit shocked by Asia's departure, but not bummed. I think we all expected to see Luke Manard go, but I was not expecting to see Danny get voted off the island. I thought he was going to stick around for another couple rounds. But hey, I'm not complaining. When he performed his good-bye song (Tainted Love), he did things with his hips that I would love to soon forget. And the hips don't lie. He was boo-hooing like a girl...wait...I'm confused...is he a girl?...
The other girl to go was Kady Malloy. I think she totally knew she was a goner; she didn't look surprised at all. I'm OK with everyone who got cut, just in case you cared.

Onto more pressing news, our new playroom is finally finished! When we moved in to our new house in August 07, it was an unfinished room upstairs. We have been working on it since about 2 weeks after we moved in. And we finally finished! And when I say WE, I'm using that term loosely. So loosely, in fact, that it's completely false. Ben did everything. Every sheet of drywall, every brush of paint & every piece of trim was put up by Ben. For those of you who don't know, I live with the handiest man around. Dude can fix anything you give him. He could give MacGyver & Schneider a run for their money. So it was not a shock to see Ben finish the playroom in very little time.
It's got tons of room for Lincoln to play in, & my favorite thing about it is that we can showcase Lincoln's artwork on the wall, due to the magic of magnetic paint. Have you ever heard of such a thing? I fell in love with the idea, so we tried it. What a cool invention. On the opposite wall, we showcased pictures of Nashville historical/popular places. Here are some more pictures of the finished product. What do you think?




I'll be posting pictures of my Spitting-Up Machine soon. I have no idea what's going on with Levi, but man, our conversations sort of go like this:

Me: "OK, let's get ready to leave the house..."
Levi: "Hhmmm, I can tell Mom is in a hurry...let me get cookin' on something good here..."
Me: "We're ready!...Let's get you in your car seat."
Levi: "Here I go!" (major spit-up/throw-up ensues)
Me: "Oh great....let's go upstairs & change your clothes."
Levi: "Yea! Another onesie to ruin!"
Me: "OK, you're all clean now, let's get back in your car seat."
Levi: "Sure, that sounds great, but first let me do this..." (another spit-up/throw-up)
Me: "All over me this time! Let me go change my clothes."
Levi: "Sure, you do what you gotta do, I'm just gonna hang here & do my thing."

After that happens 2 or 3 times, a good 20-30 minutes has passed & Levi has spit up what looks to be his entire feeding. What's a girl to do? I have no clue. For all you moms reading, any advice would be well-appreciated & happily received.
I know this post has some random things, but hey-I've been up since 5:00am. Bear with me.
Happy Friday,
