Not Me Monday

My neighbor has NOT gone crazy and has NOT said any of these things...

• That they added a water drain pipe under their yard that drains in to their side yard, which is also my side yard, which in return has been flooding my garage EVERY SINGLE TIME IT RAINS! They did NOT put it up while we were in the hospital 5 months ago, and I did NOT just put these pieces together.
• He did NOT threaten my big dog Carley, he would NEVER say that I might find her four paws up in my yard somewhere! That did not make me want to attack him but I couldn't because ...
• He did NOT come to work to tell me these things either!
• The next day I did NOT find him blowing all the leafs from his yard into ours, he did not quickly panic, turn off the leaf blower, and act like he was going to rake them and put them in a wheel barrel.
• I would NEVER find him or his grown kids that still live at home kicking my fence and laughing when Carley gets mad. They are NOT so stupid not to know that if you harass a dog (which is considered abuse in our county) that if the dog bites you you can not press legal charges. Carley is NOT an awesome and sweet pup that would never do anything unless she felt attacked!

Things that have NOT been going on around our house this week:

Joee does NOT like her jumper!



Joee's new tempertantroms when she does not get her way do NOT make me laugh. I do NOT think its funny that she already has a temper at 5 months old, but I am also NOT worried that she is going to be like one of those bratty kids that drive me crazy at work.

Joee did NOT get sick of having her picture taken on Valentines day! She would NEVER go from this...

To this...

In a blink of an eye (or camera :)

My babies would NEVER fall asleep together in the middle of the afternoon. Nope not Daddy with baby Joee NEVER!

Joee would NEVER have fun in her snow suit in the snow.

She would NEVER giggle while we forced her to make a lil' snow angel.

Max would NEVER (and finally!) bring home my Christmas present... yes you read that right... my Christmas present..

But he was completely forgiven for being the late punk that he is when I saw how beautiful it was! ( he also made the nightstand which was originally my fish tank stand till he forgot to feed them while I was in the hospital having Joee via C-section...)

Thanks and Happy NOT me Monday!

Max the artist!

Max, my wonderful husband, is an artist (though he might not like me to call him that) I think it up and he figures out how to make it for me (and changes things uck umm..) :) Below are some of the wonderful things Maxwell has made for Joee and me!

This is the built in bookcase and China cabinet that he built for our living room!



Unfinished China part.


A whole look at the unfinished!



INSTALLED, yet I still haven't added my china :)

Max was also really into nesting when we were pregnant with Joee. He painted both her nursery and her playroom, hand painted lady bugs on the wall in her nursery, and he also made us a wonderful door for the nursery. A dutch door instead of an ugly baby gate!! He even went a step further and made a Joee size door for when she gets older :)



Unpainted and both the top half of the door and the Joee size door are open.


Painted with all parts closed. So far we have really loved this door. We can keep the top part open and keep good air flow and hear Joee even without the baby monitor. Not to mention it is ADORABLE!!!

Some other things that I have pictures of that Max has made are a full size bed for Olivia that holds her mattress and has storage drawers, he also made a night stand but I do not have pictures. He also made the tables for our wedding reception. The center of the table dips down about an inch I think. Gina, my mother in law, ended up using the center for sand for kids to play with at the kids table, and center pieces













Not to mention he did also help make this!
