    Haha....it totally sucks, cuz we had a good amount of projects planned for this winter.

    And you couldnt keep my 4 year old son out of that kitchen helping if ya tried.....any 4 year old wants to be in the thick of things. He was helping picking up the small tile pieces and throwing them in the trash. And my wife helped for about 10 minutes, lol. A pregnant chick isnt worthless...lol....even though many use it as an excuse.
