My extended kitchen

I'm so happy to finally be almost done with this kitchen!! We now have storage and a little homework nook at the end!!

Colorful Daycare Center

Well, the green and yellow day care center behind/beside our house is now being painted red and white. It went from a jolly rancher to a candy cane. It's starting to look much better though!

Wow- $200K!!!

Crazy!! The "camel back roof" property next door to us just went up for sale. They're asking $200K for it! Unbelievable!! And the house on it even needs to be torn down!! We got a great deal for our house!!

More progress

I know this is slowly but surely... but here is some more progress as of this weekend. Notice, I STILL don't have my hood, but I do have one linen closet with a full length mirror attached to it. Also, I'm grateful that the walls got painted behind the hood and near the thermostat. Now we just need to find a day we can turn off all of the electricity (since the electricians labeled everything wrong... Builder Dad figured that out the hard way- electrocution style). Also, I'm happy to have an extra drawer in the kitchen... as well as some more counter space!!

Dry wall done for the hood vent

The drywall was done on July 10th for the hood vent and for the holes in the hallway (from the thermostat patch). We'll see how long it takes to get the painters out here. I would LOVE to have my hood vent installed finally! Would be a nice thing to have in the summer months of cooking!!

Missing Tent

Silly us left a 4 man tent set up on our side patio last night. We had a sleeping bag and two pillows in there. The boys loved playing but we decided to come in because it was too hot. When we woke up this morning, the tent was gone... we thought maybe Builder Dad had taken it down, but apparently he forgot. I guess the tent has legs because it just walked off!!

Boys are sad :(

They'll get over it!

ROT Rally Parade on our street

I didn't realize that in our new house, we'd be able to witness the yearly ROT rally right on our front doorstep! The boys loved the roars of the bikes, the bikers who threw lollipops, and the revs of the engines. They sure bring out a crowd, that's for sure! We timed it... it took 35 minutes for all of the bikes to pass us!! They were going at least 10 mph too!!
