Okay, so its been pretty busy around here, we had Talyssa's birthday, I can't believe she is 6! It is crazy!
Then the kids had their spring break, they were off for a week and it was crazy, we tried to get as much work done on the house as possible. They were able to get almost all of the main level windows in, just the kitchen one still needs to be replaced, we are trying to find the right size for a decent price and are having a hard time. All of the "siding" is off now and they were able to resheet it as well. I was able to "finish" the upstairs room and last night we were able to move up here. It still needs basbords and trim and eventually, when the renos are finished, we will put carpet up here as well. For now we will settle for the painted floor. The kids had a ton of fun painting the floor, its not every day they get to do that! lol. But Talyssa was pretty upset that we were moving our bedroom up here, in her opinion "the floor is perfect for our play room!!" We also cut the hole out and the kids love swinging and climbing on the rope, Talyssa was telling her friends toaday at school, "We have a swing in our house", her friend replied, "oh, we just have a swing outside..." And as far as Erick is concerned, the swing is just the begining for that hole, he has tons of ideas!
Also, FINALLY, at midnight last night, I was able to put a load of clothes through, in my brand new, long awaited washer!!! Who would have thought that I would be excited to do laundry!! Who knew!
Well, now that school is back in, thing should slow down, for a bit! Once the snow melts again, soccer season will be in full swing!
