Ty Pennington, hire my husband


Extreme Makeover Home Edition is in Pittsburgh this week. My husband is doing some form of pictorial painting at the house today. He had to be there at 3:30 this morning to start work. Our plan is for Ty Pennington to love him so much that he will hire him and we will be wealthy vagabonds traveling the country changing peoples lives.
At the very least we hope he is offered is own HGTV show. He is fully prepared to shave his chest, get a tattoo and work out. Hell i'll even shave my chest also. Wish us luck!

My son's teacher asked if I could make Aaron a Dr. Silverfish costume from a book called "How to be Perfect in Three Days". Of course I said "Sure, no probem" because I can't say no. I ask Aaron later "What does he look like?"
He says "He has a shirt with palm trees, zebra pants, a hat with 2 feathers, a 1/2 a bow tie and one mitten"
Hmmmm
So off to the thrift store we went.
I had to cut down a 3xxx men's shirt and I markered zebra stripes on white pants.
Have I mentioned I have OCD?
When I took the outfit into school his teacher said "Oh, I told Aaron it didn't have to be exact, I hope you didn't go to too much trouble."
Of course I told her it was no problem, I had most of the stuff. I figured she didn't need to no that for 3 hours I colored in zebra stripes. (Hello, Obsessive Compulsive)



We have also gone pumpkin picking which includes feeding the animals at the petting zoo. I think they must starve them because by the time we got there at 10:30 in the morning they were in attack mode. Ella had a bottle and Aaron had food. The pigs were knocking each other over and then a llama would enter the mix and all Hell broke loose. I got bit by a goat. When we were walking away we heard a blood curdling kid scream I can only assume they lost a body part to some hungry donkey.

just make sure your husband doesn't get in the car with Ty at the wheel.

Your costume is perfect, and exact, as it should be.

Glad you are back! How was the hut? I missed you.

Oh, good luck with the show. And if they need to work with anyone, suggest us -- making our house more habitable for Sophie and her special needs. I always love when you post -- the pics of your kids were great.

okay, the zebra pants are freakin' amazing! I LOVE how you drew the stripes! That is fabulous. If I knew what sound a zebra makes, I would make a zebra sound right now!
(neigh??, they are kind of horse-like)
