A Day in the Life of Me!

7:00 (wow, that is LATE) - wake up
Jay isn't in a happy mood (is he starting with a cold?)
Toby is happy as a jay-bird watching TV in my bed...I sneak downstairs to make breakfast.
coffee cake...yum! 

Jay's mood didn't improve after breakfast so down for a nap he goes...

After a shower and such Toby and I have some coffee cake that has now cooled.

Jay wakes up and it is craft time.  We make cards for grandma and great-grandma's birthday, and paint egg crates for a future craft, Easter carrot patch that looks adorable!  The play-dough comes out as well as Toby's activity books.  Toby practices cutting with scissors and writing.


The boys seem to have a lot of energy and the sun is shining so outside we go!  Jayden is happy in his car for a little while and then falls asleep in the swing.  I lay both my and Toby's coats under the breeze way and Jay takes another nap!  Toby plays in the driveway and yard with his dump truck and scooter.  I tackle the cactus "garden".

 I found some bulbs under the cactus mess...daffodils?

Jay woke up as I finished clearing away the mess and we went inside to fix lunch.  Toby wanted to eat his on the porch like a picnic so we came back outside to play and eat.  Then we got out Jayden's birthday gift - a battery operated gator!  Toby drove and Jay was the passenger...too cute!

The boys came inside to watch a tv show before a nap.  I made chili and let it simmer for a few hours.  The boys napped from 3:20 to almost 6:30!  I guess they were tuckered out!  Mommy got to clock a few hours of work.


After the boys got up the evening flew bye!  Baths, Daddy came home, more playtime, a little snuggling and then off to bed!

wintertime at home









Are we done yet?

Usually a patient person, I am finally fed up with not having a bathroom!  It is frustrating to have it right there and not be able to use it!  But we do have progress and art!


vanity installed, working and travertine top sealed!

Things that still need to be done:
1. molding sanded and painted
2. 2 tiny pieces of molding added
3. toilet hooked up
4. vent installed (original one was rusted!)  did I forget to mention the bathroom is not properly ventilated? that is being fixed...
5. caulking
6. purchase a large switch plate...um the switch plate pretty much summarizes the bathroom issues...lets put it this way Holmes on Homes would have had a field day!
7. painting touched up
8. find a mirror (rethinking the whole medicine cabinet thing)
9. add those decorative and functional details (rugs, toilet paper holder, towels and towel bar...)
10. unpack the rest of our bathroom stuff





I also started the mural in the playroom...
 Noah's ark is turning into a pirate ship!

This wall is going to look a little like a treasure map!
