Why has it taken me so long to update my blog? Greg was home for a week and a half, and we got so much done around the house. We worked in our basement, finishing the walls of the family room. We completed mudding and taping the walls. Greg had the patience to teach me how to do the mudding and taping, and it was a blast! Now, the house is full of sheetrock dust.
We then set to paint. You can see what we've chosen to do on the right. As an homage to the Minnesota Wild hockey team, we painted the 
walls the team colors! OK, so we're not that psycho, we just liked the colors. Since the colors are so strong, each half took 4 coats of paint. We are then going to put up a 6 inch piece of pine for the chair rail. I was holding up this piece of wood to give you the effect. We're pretty happy so far. Now, we're working on the built in bookcase on the west wall.

This is good, because I'm going to do the Lifetime Fitness Turkey Trot 5K Run on Thanksgiving morning. I still can't believe I 
signed up to run outside in the winter. What was I thinking? It should be a blast though. Everyone wears the same number, 2008. There is also a kids carnival. My brother's friend, Cheryl, will be running it too. So, Bill and Scout are going to come and cheer us on.

This is what my evening with them has been like. Pretty exciting in the Lufkin house!

Oh I like the colors down in the basement, Deeann! Wow, they are so bold. Can't wait to see them in person.
Those poor animals. Man, they have a rough life. If I ever die, I want to come back as a Lufkin pet. LOL!
Have fun on the Turkey Trot, girl! No flippin' off the people cheering. I got on the treadmill the other day and about died. Did 2.5 miles one day, then 3 a few days later. UGH! Hard getting back into it, isn't it? Make us proud, though! Have fun!
