Did I mention that I have quads and that we have a show on Discovery Health called Double Identical Twins? Well, I do. Actually, they are following us again for a 3rd show to update on how my 4 year-old quads are doing. It's been a challenge - it definitely is easier to film, etc. when the babies were still confined to my womb. But, my kids are really cute and I can't wait to see them again on TV. I guess I could get more into them later.... But for today I want to talk about us getting our basement finished for the show. Did I mention that we had a fire in our house last August, August 1. Actually, it was the same day my oldest son had a craniotomy to relieve his epidural hematoma... more on all of that craziness later.

So, the contractors who rebuilt our basement and first floor after the fire, have agreed to do our basement during the show in exchange for advertising their business. Ikea has agreed to chip in some furniture for the big reveal as well. Anyway, the problem is that now I don't think it is going to happen because our township's requirement that if you finish a basement you must have a seperate exit/entrance from the basement. Apparently, it will be super expensive to put in an exit and I'm not sure the contractor will be willing to "throw" that in as well. AND since our fire started in the basement and my plan is to have the kids' playroom in the basement, I guess an exit is a good idea.

Well, four of my five children are up and looking for some attention, so I must go before they destroy my house worse than a fire could ever do!
