Progress

I don't remember where I put my camera so I don't have pictures to share right now. But we have made some progress on the upstairs bathroom. Matt got a lot more tiles off the walls (after I had gotten quite a bit done). Him and Dean got the tub, toilet, and sink out of there. I'm sure they did more-I'm just not sure what. Mom got some mudding done in the hallway.
Today I got a couple spots in the girls' bedroom painted (with primer). I've got a lot more to do before I can paint it the color it will be-but it's a start. Hopefully I will be getting the carpet up in there this week-that will make it so much easier to clean and paint the trim. G1 has been trying to help with every project. He is so excited about our "New house". He came in and sat beside me the other night and said to me "I love our new house." When I acknowledged him and told him that I'm glad he loves our new house, he got up and walked away. It was just so cute how he did that.
It's been pretty tough living here right now. We don't have a way to bathe here so we have to go to my mom's house in order to do so-thank goodness she lives so close. Plus we are all 5 sleeping in the den. That has made it very challenging to put G1 down for a nap. Which then in turn makes it very hard to get the things done that I need to do. It is so difficult to do some of this stuff with a little one under my feet at all times.
So far I still love our new house--except our kitchen sink! I can't wait to redo it in a few years. That's right it will probably be a few years (if not longer) before I can redo the kitchen. It doesn't really need to be redone-it's a functioning kitchen as is-it just makes me mad. The hot water comes out as a trickle so it takes about a year to fill up the sink to wash dishes, and then once I do get the sink filled up by the time I start washing the dishes it has started draining. ARGH!
Anyway, that is my brief update on the house. I will hopefully get all of my thoughts together and really give an update on the children soon.
