Satisfied Stecher's

Friday was a satisfying day for all 3 Stecher's. Not only was it the start of a needed weekend from school but some major accomplishments happened around the house.

BUDDY:
Buddy has been making gains in his "recovery" (see previous post). However, now it has been determined that the can food is too expensive to continue on with. Travis' parents gave a helpful culinary tip to try to get Buddy to eat his dry food. Wet it, microwave it, hid it with a piece of cheese on top. So I tried...

It stunk up our microwave, our kitchen, and eventually our house....bon appetit!
First he ate all the cheese off the top, go figure...
Then he started on the rest of the food!

Good to the last bite!

MISTY

I have been using our vacuum to help clean up kitchen debris. As a result it has ruined our filter, however, I can not justify purchasing a new one until the kitchen is finally finished...So I asked Kay to bring the Dyson down. For those of you who do not know the Dyson is the be all end all of vacuum's....

This is the pet hair version. It is FABULOUS!

This thing worked like a dream. It was utterly disgusting how GROSS our living room carpet was. I'll spare you the photo....It is now on a future wish list. It must be good if I'm putting a VACUUM on a wish list! :)

TRAVIS

Ahhhh...the kitchen. Will it ever end? Travis has been hard at work making all last minute dry wall, Spackle, mud, etc. necessities in order for us to paint.

We are now ready to wipe all the walls/ceilings, prime and finally PAINT! I'm shooting for tomorrow!
We also went to LOWES today and picked out, and purchased the cabinets. They will be ready for pick up next weekend. Cross your fingers that the little piece of filler wood that has to come from somewhere other than Lowes comes in sooner than the 2 weeks they told us today :(
Travis is ready for some cabinets! (Misty too! :)
