Lots has happened, and yet nothing has happened in the many months since my last post. The girls are almost another year older, and more feisty too. We combined them both in the same room, Allie's front room. Emmy is still in the crib, and AC is still in that awful bed we got on the cheap a few years ago. Overall the room is good, we're just needing to get them new beds. This is likely the beds we're going to go with:
It's Ikea. Great price, simple, perfect beds for little girls, right? Once we do that, the crib will go into the playroom (former nursery) and that room will function as both play room and guest bedroom. Looking forward to having a place for the folks to sleep when they come in town...and a bed for our many friends who live far away during football season!
The exterior painting has stalled this winter. Mostly b/c I've gotten lazy...but also b/c I needed a break. The front of the house has been sanded, primed, and painted. That includes the porch ceiling which is now a very southern, pale blue. All that is left on the front of the house is the upper front gable over the porch, then a second coat on everything...including the porch floor. Probably gonna pick that up again once the time changes in 2 weeks and I can work on it in the evenings.
The bathroom addition got pushed back. Again. Stupid money, there never seems to be enough! We're pretty sure that it'll be happening in the next 6 months, but stay tuned for that one.
In place of the bathroom, we decided to go ahead and do the shed! Dad's coming this weekend to help me clear our old dinky 8x10 shed out, and cut down the ancient rotten crape myrtle behind it. After that, I'll take the week to tear it down and prep the ground for the foundation for the new 12x16 shed. I've priced all the materials and I have to say, I'm super excited about it. Within the next 4-6weeks, we should have a spankin new shed, complete with 8x12 front porch and swing. We'll FINALLY have a legit backyard space to gather...and I'll have a place to justify putting a beer fridge! Woot!
Progress photos to come VERY soon....
