Show

It was fun watching the show come together last night. We thought they did a very nice job putting it all together. I had seen pictures of some of the rooms before they were all done, and they definitely looked better finished.
We were glad to finally see and figure out for sure the Ying/Yang chairs. They brought those to the house at two separate times right before the family came home. They must have been very heavy because it took several men to life them off the truck. Everyone was wondering what in the world they were and what function they would serve.
Other observations...Ty doesn't come off quite as high-strung in person as he does on the show. What's interesting is that on the show it appears he is yelling and everyone can hear him when in actuality, I barely ever heard him. Even when he comes running out of the house...they told us not to cheer and we didn't really hear him talking. Of this crew, we saw the most of Michael followed by Rib. The only time I saw Ed was at the reveal and even then he kind of hung back.
Yes, we did find ourselves on the episode--only because we knew exactly where to look. We were in the section behind the family at the reveal and we were behind this lady in a mint green jacket standing on a chair holding a sign. Apparently, she forgot she wasn't the only one who wanted to see--lol!

Our weekend was nice. We saw "Bride Wars" and thought it was a fun & cute movie. We painted the girls' bedroom. It looks very nice and they are excited. The color is called "Rainforest"-- appropriate for Aliyah! We also re-hung/rearranged pictures in their room. It's much better to paint when it's boring outside than when it is summer and you would rather be outside doing something else!

Josh continued his winter baking err whatever with peanut brittle or lotsa peanuts with some brittle--lol. He makes great peanut brittle--when he doesn't mis-calculate and put in LOADS of peanuts. We had a good laugh about that one. It tastes good, it's just VERY PEANUT-Y. To give you an idea...he used 2 cans of peanuts!!

Well, that pretty much wraps up the weekend. Tonight is school with Aliyah and a few TV shows. What else can you do on a wintry January evening?
