And the wall came down.

I decided after much inward turmoil to open up our house a little by knocking down our half-wall. I was afraid that I would regret taking it down, but I can happily say that our house looks better without the wall.
Being the great DG (Domestic Goddess in case you forgot), I remembered to take pictures of the wall's demise.Manly man's friend Doug using he's kung-fu power (He actually did knock it down using his hand.) and Manly man....using a saw (which of course did cut the wood).

The wall coming down.

Now the little ones that live in our MO (mount Olympus) have room to make larger messes.
