Friday

Lots of fun today:) We start out with a picture of the roll off dumpster truck because Ethan was fascinated by it (he wanted a picture so he could make one out of legos!) and thought I should include it:) It was a busy day, the mason was working on the basement and the dumpster came and we emptied the kitchen into the dining room AND the cabinets were delivered. AHHHH!!!

Kitchen Friday AM with the appliances removed.

rest of the house as it looks packed with everything that has been shifted.

ta da!! There's those cabinets. The boys are already planning what they will do with all those boxes and mommy can even envision some pretty cool forts:) Hans REALLY wanted to climb on them. I left the room and in two minutes he was calling plaintively cause he was stuck: balanced on the top edge of the pellet stove door and the box next to it!! When I punished him he got more upset when I firmly informed him he would never climb on those boxes than from the actual punishment.

one of the 3 styles of floor under our present floor, any takers?

Jeremiah cleaning off that floor, all the way down to the hardwood.

ooh, aah! The beautiful ceiling that is revealed by taking off the drywall. We shall keep it and paint it and it shall be ours:)

Last afternoon snack in the old kitchen

There it is! Hey, and what is that, sunshine?!?! WoW!

and so it begins . .

Jeremiah started ripping out the cabinets this weekend. Now the fun begins!

Egg hunt

Easter, etc.

We had a great Easter weekend. It was nice to have some time off. We did our egg hunt inside this year.

crazy picture!

"normal" picture:)

oops, Anya a bit delayed on the crazy picture!

Sitting pretty. She loved her dress:)

Hans kneading the bread dough.

Living Room

We got a couple of our chairs re-upholstered. They turned out really well. Now the living room is nicely co-ordinated. There are even matching pillows for the sofa! I may tweak some things here and there, but that will wait for when the kitchen is done.

This is a more accurate picture of the color of the left hand chair.
