the bathroom

i thought you may enjoy the sites of our bathroom
i have to say major demolition with two small children leads to some interesting and creative ways of
1. brushing teeth
2. bathing
3. tinkling
here ya go

rain rain go away.....

so far we have been super busy
but when thinking about it i am not sure with what
i suppose it is planning and figuring out how to take over the world one cutie at a time
silas is walking and running
he walked all by himself to the beach from our house which for a little kid is like walking miles
he likes to hum or sing when he walks i think it is to help him keep balance
he has more teeth coming in
both front teeth are in and he is enjoying using them which means an entire new food group.....
though i have to say he is a rather picky eater
he loves bread, hummus, broccoli and bananas but do not go near him with a pear
sadie is on a big noodle kick but what kid isn't right?
she is doing great
she wants to draw ALL the time and no little itty bitty drawings (wonder who she got this trait from) but HUGE big drawings on big pieces of paper
so it has been fun
her drawing style is really wonderful she has identified the need for a nose, eyes and mouth on a face
drawing babe still stumps her but she does a daily portrait of mommy or daddy!
she is very independent and likes you to know it
so it is always best to let her try things first before trying to help
she can get her pants and shirts on ALL by herself and is very proud of herself
along with all this independence though comes a very strong will
so we have had a lot of discussions about listening....not sure if she is listening but we try
right now we are getting ready to destroy the destroyed bathroom!
yup you heard it here first
we are ripping out walls tomorrow!
i will take pictures as we go but the plan is.....and that is assuming the tree does not fall on the house :)
that we rip out the walls and ceiling tomorrow
next wed i will take the day off to help finish ripping out the shower walls and the wall behind the vanity
then we go on vacation!
wonderful isn't it
and when we come back
we will have a new vanity, and a sparkling clean tiled bathroom!!!!!
now many things could go wrong...i won't mention them because i do not want to place that negative energy around my hopeful thinking.....
so i ask you all to cross your fingers send us home depot gift cards and pray to the bathroom gods that the plumbing force be with us!!!!
so until later......enjoy the days of clean bathrooms and NEVER EVER take for granted a bathroom that has walls!

we have a ceiling houston!

yes it has happened
for the first time in over 5 years when you look up in the kitchen you are not stepping back into a time before ceilings were invented
we have a ceiling and it is level!
and i think it may be the only thing holding our house together
seriously though we are making improvements
aaron is tackling the outside and we have hired two of the best people in the world to help us with the inside
if you need help with a project let me know we got the peeps for it
anyway.....
next on the list our bathroom
aaron is planning on painting the garage this week if weather holds up and getting ready to scrap the porch down
i am plugging away at one more class
my masters project has been submitted and accepted
so the heavy lifting of my degrees are DONE!!! DONE!!!!
silas is walking though still prefers to crawl cause he can get there faster
silas has both his top teeth coming in so is chewing on everything including me
even though his little teeth hurt he is in a very good mood
sadie is done with diapers DONE!!! DONE!!! DONE!!!
she is very proud of herself and loves to tell anyone who will listen about how she can tinkle in the potty
aside from that we are just chillin' in the hood
hanging at the beach or backyard when we can and the weather lets us
we have had a very wet spring which only means that things are super green
until later enjoy the movie and pictures
