When 2 kids collide.....someone gets hurt

Last Sunday, Kailey and Cohen were running around the house chasing each other. Kailey ran into Grandma and Grandpa's room and Cohen was in the front room. Kailey came running around the corner without knowing that Cohen was heading straight for her. WHAMMO...collision time

Cohen's skull caught Kailey right below her eye. She was layed out on the floor crying. Cohen was crying. It was the sound of bone on bone collision. We put ice on Kailey's eye right away but we new she was going to have a shiner. As for the tough boy, he cried for about 30 seconds and then was back to running around. The first 2 pics are of Kailey last Monday (the day after), the other picture with the red crown on is today, 1 week later.

Won some cash....

I went to the casino in Waterloo this past Friday with a couple girls on my team at work. I took 140.00 and came back with 521.00.....For once I won....

I hit a 425.00 payout on a machine in the high roller area. I was playing 10 lines at a time @ 1.00 per line...oh yeah...10.00 per hit of the button.....It was a little scary dropping that much coin on one push of the button....but you know what...I came expecting to lose it....so why not risk it all....

I figure about 20 more wins like this and I may break even...

Brick work on the house...

The guys were out this Saturday laying the brick on the front of the house. They will probably be done today with the whole thing. Here are some pics of the brick work.

As for our tile situation. We finally have that solved. Jaime and I picked out a new tile. We like it much better than the original. Although it cost 3 times the amount. Oh well. Its better to get something we want as it wont be coming back out once its in....

Possible delay in the house...

So Jaime and I were informed that the tile we picked out is currently stuck on a ship that was captured by pirates. Arrrg matie....
OK, so not really captured by pirates but it hasn't shipped yet from across seas. The projected date of arrival for the tile including making it through customs is June 1st. This could potentially push out our closing date by a couple weeks or more.

Its a bumber to us but what can you do. In the meantime, Jaime and I are looking at other tile options just in case we find out in the next 2 weeks that the date has been pushed out even farther.
I guess only time will tell what happens.
