We Have Doors!

Remember what our cupboards looked like last week?

We decided it was time to go out and buy one of these.

We are now the proud owners of a drill. Because the doors to the cabinets are over 50 years old, probably not the best quality, and have been painted numerous times, they are warped. They don't lay flat or fit well on the cupboards. We ended up having to make them work using the handy dandy drill. Here is the end result.

Luckily you can't see too close. If you are looking at them as a whole, they don't look too bad. Just don't look too closely. :) Russ kept reminding me they are just temporary until we get new cabinets. I reminded him that 15 years is usually not considered "temporary."  Seems a little more long term to me, but that's ok. They really aren't that bad. They are just old and have seen better days. Either way, I think it is definitely less jump-in-your-face than the blue was. I have learned that I definitely did not marry a DIYer. He does not like it even a little bit. (But that is OK by me)

Let's Go Tomcats! Let's Go!

First football game of the season. We decided it would be fun family activity. Dallin could hardly wait. He wanted to go the moment he woke up this morning. He made sure we all had our Thiel College shirts all ready to wear. He even "dressed up" as a Tomcat. He did it all on his own. Once I saw the state of my eyeliner, I informed him I would be buying him his own for future Tomcat costumes. :)

He's got his Tomcat face on.

Dallin and Mom ready for the walk up to the college.

It was a close game. We lost, 16-13 to Juniata. Still, it was a good game and we almost made it at the very end there. I hear that this was not a normal game. Let's just say that Thiel's football record isn't the best. I don't believe they won a game last year. Yes, this was still a loss, but it was a close loss. Either way, we enjoyed it. Dallin loved getting to yell and cheer. I was surprised he got so into it. I was extra surprised Dallin made it the whole game with only needing to walk around a couple of time. As a matter of fact, he is unhappy that he has to wait 2 more weeks for another home game.

The football Russ helped Dallin to catch. He was pretty excited.

I will say, it was a hot and muggy day. Since Thiel doesn't have game lights, the games are at 1:30 in the afternoon. I didn't think about sunblock. Both Russ and I are a bit burnt, but Dallin seems fine. As I am writing this Dallin is in his room getting his PJs on, yelling "Let's go Tomcats! Let's go!" Russ is glad to have a football buddy.
