Wow it’s been over a month since I posted! That’s because it’s been over a month since we really did any work on the house. After our vacation/staycation we had a few relaxing weekends and then a couple of travel weekends for birthday parties. Finally this past weekend we had some time to work on …
Sorry for the lack of posting, we were up till about midnight every night Wed, Thur, Fri with working on the kitchen and birthday party prep. I’ll try to recap how the rest of the week went. Wednesday I finished filling nail holes and caulking the installed trim. Then I stripped the last 4 rosettes. …
We got a slow start on Monday, needing to sleep in (well Ryan slept in, I had to take boo boo to daycare at 8am), but then i settled in to read for a bit, sinus infection only a little bit better than the night before. So we got up and did some errands, we …
Ryan and his Dad got right back to work on Sunday and had the floor completely tiled by lunch time on Sunday! Everyone needed a break by that point so we relaxed, giving backs a break (and nursing my sinus infection – perfect for a vacation!). After Ryan’s parents headed home we mostly just …
Ryan and his dad worked like crazy today. The floor of the kitchen is almost done in one day! Mostly the back hallway is left. It was a lot of work, we went with a 12×12 surrounded by 6×6 tiles surrounded by 12x12s. Seems simple, but it means a lot of cuts. Also done today, …
Ryan’s parents came out this afternoon for the weekend. We did a little clean up and prep and then went over to pick up miss alli boo. A quick trip to home depot with Boo to get a few supplies and we came back to a pile of cut tiles, and a pattern laid out …
Yikes I guess it’s been a while since we did much on the house. We’ve been a little busy with traveling to NY for Easter etc. In the evenings we did manage however to get the last 2 sections off the kitchen spackled and sanded and Ryan got the long piece of baseboard scribed and …
We went back to NY last weekend to meet our new little nephew who is adorable! He is also the quietest little newborn ever, didn’t make a peep the whole visit, just loves to snuggle! We drove back home on Saturday night so we had all day Sunday to do regular weekend things. We hit …
It’s been a while since we had one of those but we found ourselves home unexpectedly this weekend because Alex got sick again! This is actually a secondary illness (ear infections) so she was feeling fine mostly, just couldn’t sleep at night but with antibiotics she is doing much better. In the meantime, rather than …
So Alex started crawling over the last couple of weeks. On Friday she did the official hand/knees crawl but she still prefers the army crawl she’s been doing for a while. Of course I can’t upload a video bigger than 1MB so I have nothing to share on that but some cute pics of Alex …
