Support the BSA - buy popcorn from my son :D

Saij is selling popcorn for his Cub Scout pack (Pack 98 in the Longhorn Council here in TX). The funds help pay for their camping, Pinewood Derby races, and other activities and is their sole fundraiser of the year (similar to Girl Scout cookies).

If you like popcorn or trail mix, please consider supporting him by making a purchase. Prices range from $10 for some caramel corn with peanuts up to $50 for a 5-way chocolate lovers tin. You can also choose to donate $25 to purchase some popcorn for our troops. It makes a cool gift too. ;)

If you want to make an order or have any questions, please post here or email me at tjolaes@hotmail.com. You can either mail me a check or pay via Paypal. Your order will be shipped to you a week or two before Thanksgiving. Thanks everyone!

Yay Baby!

In case you haven't heard, Summer had Sameenah Joy Olaes on 9/11.

She was 7 lbs, 9 oz and 19.5 inches long.

Here's a gallery to check out.

House projects - redux

So we're getting ready for phase two of the house remodeling. Once Summer pops the kid out, we'll be back on track for the new updates.

If you have a Facebook profile, add me: Terry Olaes. There's a pic of Summer about 8 mos pregnant in my profile photo album. :)

Here's what's coming in phase deux:

1. New fence
2. New Tuff-Shed
3. Repaint upstairs (bye bye Egyptian-looking splatter art)
4. Remove carpet on stairs and master bath
5. Install tile in master bath
6. Remove stair rails and replace with wrought iron.
7. Install travertine on stairs and finish with wood.

I think that's it. Might do some backyard stuff too. We'll see.

As always, pics will come when the projects start. We anticipate the fence to be first and that'll start in a couple weeks.

Edit: Here's the link to the photo I mentioned above. Let me know if you can't see it.
