Of Basements and Basketball

Another weekend, another bunch of work done. And again, I can't take much credit. This past weekend Mama and Papa Morge, and Liz, Luke and Annabelle came down for a visit, and Don came over to help with the house. Saturday morning was spent attacking the basement, dissasembling the pool table and cleaning away. In the afternoon, we all took a break and went to Michael Aaron's basketball game - what a blast!! Michael shows as much hustle in b-ball as he did in soccer, he's such a great athlete. Here are some pics from the game:

Michael knows how important it is to stay hydrated :)

The best looking cheering section ever.

Uncle Ryan cuddles his Annabelle.

Once the game was over, and the supplies were purchased, it was back to work. The rest of Saturday night (with the exception of a dinner break) and Sunday was spent working on the cabinets/wall. When all was said and done, we had beautiful cabinets installed, including the gorgeous blue tile top. Check it out:

Pibblet surveys the action to make sure things are looking how HE wants them to.

Tiles are in and grouted - beautiful!

Thanks again to Mom and Dad P, Mom and Dad M, Liz, Luke, Annabelle and especially Don for all their hard work!!! You guys are doing more for us and this house than you could ever imagine. We love you all so much!!!

What a week...

Hey, Meghan here. Last week started off with a bang, literally. That was the noise that the following jar of salsa made when it fell off the shelf in the pantry from about 5 feet up, landing on my toe, resulting in my first ever broken bone. (I can practically hear the sigh of relief from all the Morge kids, seeing that it wasnt a jar of Papa's salsa!)

Hey, I never claimed I wasn't clumsy! Anyway, despite the freezing temperatures, I spent most of last week without a shoe on my right foot. I was unable to stay on my feet for too long without the toe really starting to hurt, but thankfully it has improved, and I can finally put a shoe back on and walk without looking too gimpy.

Things improved greatly when over the weekend Mom and Big Poppa P came down for a visit to celebrate Mom's birthday. Mom and I did as much shopping as one can do with a broken toe, while the boys worked around the house. Thanks to the hard work of Poppa P, Ryan, and Don, the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad wallpaper is FINALLY gone from the bedroom. Here are the boys hard at work:

Ok, so maybe it wasn't ALL work - Ryan and Dad took a little Wii Lego Star Wars Break (nice hair, pops!):
