breakin' the law

we have hideous wallpaper in our kitchen. those of you who've visited know this and have commented on it. brian and i have a color all picked out to paint the walls, but we're waiting for a 3 day thaw so we can air out the house after we paint. in the interim it has crossed my mind to get a head start by ripping off the wallpaper. last week owen took matters into his own hands and started the process. apparently the teacups were too much for him. we're only hoping he finishes by april.

that same day owen was entertaining himself with the telephone while brian and i took a break from trying to interest him in his toys. in his enthusiasm to make the phone beep and light up he dialed 911 and then moved onto some other activity. a minute or so later the phone made a loud "i'm off the hook" sound and we hung it up. it promptly rang and a very nice woman explained she was from 911 and they were sending an officer out to our house to check things out.

it's been a week, but owen is recovering nicely from his phone addiction.
