This & That: It’s been a while… and we’ve been busy!

I haven’t posted anything here since late February. We’ve been pretty busy with daily life and I’ve been resting when I can fit it in. Ya know, being pregnant and all (and chasing after a 2 1/2 yr old).

I totally forgot to announce that we found out we are having another little boy. We’re beyond excited. I always thought I’d like to have one of each, but strangely I was a little relieved when I found it was another boy. I think God knows I’m not cut out to be a girl mommy. 🙂

In late March, Bart started playing softball with our church’s league. We’ve had a wonderful time at the games and I think he’s had a great time too. Blake enjoyed playing around the ball field too.

There’s a festival each year in the spring at the end of our street. All week we watch them prepare for the festivities and then for 3 days they are open. This year, Blake watched everyday we passed and kept saying how he wanted to ride the school bus ride. When the time came we went and this was the result… He definitely didn’t have fun! He kept yelling “stop the school bus”. Yes, that is my child that you can hear over all other noise at the festival. Even after that, he still wanted to try other rides. We tried one more, but he wasn’t excited about it either and the ride was stopped so he could get off.

We had a lot of fun for Easter and Blake happily ate way too much candy before church on Easter morning. Aunt Sterl even came for a weekend visit to celebrate in the festivities.

We also celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. Bart set it all up, reservations at the Raintree, beautiful flowers waiting at our table, and tickets to see a play at the Limelight Theatre. It’s the first time we’ve been to the theatre and it was really enjoyable. Dinner was amazing, as it always is at the Raintree. And the best part was dessert (pregnant or not!). Yum!

To top it all off, drum roll, please…..

Our master bathroom is finally finished!!! Bart has really outdone himself this time. We had a few disagreements over the set up (corner shower vs. stall, double sinks vs. single with more counter space), but I love the way it turned out. With a little persuasion he finally figured out the best way to get it done. It wasn’t the easier route, but the hard work paid off and we love the finished product!

 

 

Renovation Realities?

Ever watch this show? It can be pretty hilarious. These poor people think they can renovate an entire room in some crazy short amount of time. They are usually newbies to anything tool related or home improvement related. All of that equals funny!

We have been renovating our bedroom. It’s going on almost 4 weeks and it’s almost done. Bart’s building a new closet right now. Bart is not a newbie, but he’s no professional. And, let’s face it, this stuff happens to everyone now and then…

Making our built in closets

Then this happens… cut into the cord with the saw… while using the saw… oops!

This doesn’t look good.

And now back to using the manual saw.
