My Fabulous Christmas present!!

OK here they are. The long awaited pictures of the finished product. I received the most wonderful present from my children this past Christmas and I need to enjoy it to the fullest because I am sure I will never get them to tackle another such project for a very long time. I now have a fully functional bathroom downstairs without any gapping holes in the ceiling or mold and slime growing in the shower. Look at their amazing handiwork.










I wish I knew what I was doing posting these pictures. I need some lessons on how to arrange things so just ignore the bad layout and look at the great work the kids did.







They patched large holes in the ceiling, laid tile in the shower and the floor (Thank you, thank you Aaron and Ryan for beginners, you two were awesome. We will definitely keep you in the family)







They painted, cut floor boards and door trim and revamped my old vanilty cabinet to where it looks brand new.






I think everyone I know should come for a visit now and enjoy the luxurious facilities.




The only thing left to do is hang the towel rack and toilet paper holder and get some sort of shelving for the towels in the corner.







































































































Look at me.....I'm blogging!!

Well I guess it is about time I got on board and started my own blog. I love reading about my children and all their adventures. The least I could do, since they took the time to set up this blog, is save face and show them that I have just enough techno-savy to actually publish comments on it. Let me be very clear up front that they designed, named and posted the original pictures. I do like the name three legged blog and I have had many great adventures with my sweet 3 legged companion and plan on many more.


As far as the nickname Coonscooter and the whole hillbilly theme, I tried to object but my children are bound and determined to convince me that I am not the refined and dignified woman that I percieve myself to be. Just because on any given day, I may be chasing a racoon out of the attic, or pulling a dead one through the hole in the basement ceiling after the silly critter came down the chimney on a on way trip to no where, I don't think that qualifies me as a hillbilly. But those are all stories for another day.


Welcome to my blog. I just hope I find enough interesting and amusing stories to make it worth while. If only Bill were still around, there would be no shortage of fantastic tales to tell. I may have to dig some stories about him up from time to time to increase the entertainment value of my blog plus honestly this is about as close as I will ever get to leaving a journal for my kids.

So kids there you go.....thanks for the kick start.

Hey when you hang out with a group like this how can you be anything by hillbilly?
