Hulkin' Out!

For those of you non-comic people, the term "hulkin' out" refers to when one becomes Hulk-esque. Raging, smashing, yelling, destroying... all that good stuff. There has been a lot of that around our house. I'll explain in a minute. But first let me catch up with some pictures from a little over a week ago. We had a stray dog wander up while we were outside. After my initial panic of an unfamiliar, large (lab mix) dog near my children, we discovered he was friendly and ushered him to our backyard. A nice community service officer came by shortly thereafter and took him. She was dressed in full police uniform, so Noah was quite impressed. The boys both got honorary police sticker badges, pretty cool!

So back to the title. Here Noah gives a fine example. HULK.....
SMASH! This was taken at about 8am after a rather rough play session with his brother.
But don't you worry, Sam is hulkin out on his own. He's eating EVERYTHING. He often eats more than his brother. This week he seems to have found his voice and he is often grunting, screeching, and hollering at his brother. He's been keeping up just fine and even in throwing in an occasional face kick or eye grab of his own. Don't let the cute face fool you, this kid can PLAY!
As far as Mike and I, we too are preparing to "hulk out" on our kitchen. I think I'm much more excited about the process than Mike. But anyway, we are getting new cabinets, new countertops, new sink, new range, and new microwave. We are having them all installed by professionals. So here are some before pictures...
Oh, and yes, we'll be doing our own demo. Hee hee hee. Get ready for some smashing....
(I'm sure there will be some fun demo related stories coming soon!!!)
