The house projects continue :)

The bedroom project is moving along! We are really starting to feel better about the project. At the moment we are painting and it's going rather quickly when we have the time to do it. A few nights ago Josh painted most of the ceilings. Last night Josh and I painted the hallway and the coat closet. By the end of the weekend we hope to have everything painted and have a start on the wood for the hallway walls. At this point we are thinking of finishing the hallway so we can start using the 1st floor laundry and coat closet and side entrance. There's still lots to do, but it's exciting to think about the finished project.

This is our bedroom: We put 2 coats of primer on the drywall.

Here is a picture of part of the hallway. The opening on the left will be our laundry closet. If you were to walk straight and then left you would be in our bedroom. If you were to walk straight and right you would reach the coat closet and outside door/garage door.

Same view..just painted. The bottom portion of the wall will be covered in wood. We custom cut boards to match the wood in living room.

Time for an update :)

This week has been a crazy one. It seems like everyone is getting sick around here. All the guys had/or have some sort of cold/flu. I had a day of not feeling well, but I'm a Mom and I can't take a day off. We've been very lucky this season as far as colds go, but when we do get them...boy are they NOT fun!

It's been a long time since I've posted so I'll give you a brief update on everyone.

Josh- working hard at work, as always :) He is also back on the bedroom project :) We took a break from working on it and now he works on the bedroom after work and on free weekends. Right now he's finishing the drywall in the bedroom, bathroom, and two other closets in the hallway. It will be very exciting to finish this project!

Ian- Just celebrated the 100th day of school last week. He is loving school and is learning so much. I love to listen to him read to me. It's so exciting!! He is involved in AWANAS and is finishing up in a bowling league.

Nathan- Is getting into everything. He loves books and his new favorite characters are Bob the Builder and Thomas the Train. We must read Bob 10 times a day!

Me- I'm keeping busy taking care of the boys and house, going to playdates, library and attending my MOPS meetings. I'm the new Sunday School teacher at church. It's a small class, but I think we'll have lots of fun learning about the Bible.

Hope you are all doing well!! xxx
