Frozen or On the Rocks?

Yes please...unfortunately, Justin had a bit of an accident today while putting down the floors. When he was cutting the wood, a piece shot out of the saw doing about 50 mph and tagged him in the you-know-what - luckily we're both pretty much on the same page as far as 3 kids being a good number for us.

He spent several hours after that incident with a baggie of ice down his pants -

But despite the incident, good progress was made today on the floors - the really tough stuff of getting in the pantry area and under the oven was completed. We did discover 2 decent sized scratches today too. Justin was complaining but I told him (as I mentioned before we got the real wood floors) - I refuse to baby the heck out of them and get upset when they get scratched - just like our stainless steel kitchen table - or a new car - scratch it and get it over with (no, I didn't scratch the floor on purpose!)

Lots of weather excitement today as Ike cleared a path through Ohio. Trees were bending over, flower pots and lawn chairs were flying, roofs were puking up shingles...it was quite something. Pretty much everyone around town lost power - except for our neighborhood. I had to tell Ella it could be a "twister" so that she'd stay inside. She vegged on the couch and watched The Wizard of Oz :)

School has been canceled because of all the power outages-

Mason will be thrilled!
