50 Shades of Beige

Another wet week, which means more flooding. Our moat now comes with protection.....

See all those areas of movement? You might think it was raining when I took this photo, but upon closer look...

Yup, we've started a tadpole farm. I hear selling frogs is a big market, so we decided to 'hop' right on that.

In other news, our moat is getting closer to fully circling the house...

But Lucy doesn't seem to mind. In fact, she loves mud and nastiness so much that she decided to roll in it... riiiiight before I had to leave for work. This is after I baby wiped her...
 
And with this on it's way...

I'm going to have to start looking into the cost of a gator and it's food and compare it to the cost of our security system.

Unfortunately because the rain just won't stop Derek's plan to attack the drainage project was put on hold. So Derek chose to do his other weekly project, the lawn. The lawn has quickly become a large problem. You see, we have a quarter acre lot, which we love, but Derek has a $50 craigslist push mower, and as a result, it takes him an entire day to mow the lawn, and by the end of it he's exhausted. I think a $150 craigslist self-propelled mower will need to be in our future.

On the inside, it looks like our office will soon look a little less...

...cluttered. My former, and fabulous, intern got a job! Since much of it will be useful for her, I'm letting her borrow it. It's a win-win! She'll get stuff to use in her room, and I'll get it out of my house!

But that's not all that will get improved in the house. We've been experimenting in an attempt to find just the right shade of blue for our bedroom, and we found it! ...Or so we thought. When we painted another sample where it will actually go, it looked totally different. So we went back to the drawing board...

...and we went with option #1, the one on the left.

So, that's our story, and if you don't see us at work in the morning, look in the moat, we might have drowned.
