Master Bathroom

We have been slowly picking away at our very small master bathroom. And I am excited to say that we are getting closer to having it finished. Will it be finished before this baby arrives.....I am not to sure. Still left to do is the shower. Which we have to order the glass and have it installed...thats 2 weeks away...hmmm...I think everything else will be finished...At least the toilet is now inside where it belongs. For so long it was in our backyard. Ugh. So glad it is not there anymore! I am looking forward to having the bathroom finished and being able to use it. I am really happy with how it is turning out. But I have to say, its not making me excited to do our other bathroom anytime soon. That ones gonna have to wait.

The only before picture I could find of this glorious bathroom....And yes it did have carpet in it. Ugh.

Master Bedroom...don't worry..it hardly looks like this. We have a monkey that jumps on the bed. all. the.time. Can't blame him. But it is nice to know that on some rare occasions my bed making skills can be documented.

Not the best picture...but the toilet is in its spot. And that makes me happy. We tiled the floor and also the walls. I really shouldn't say "we". Our friend Scott is doing the work. But we did pick out the tile:)

Shower works, but still we are waiting for the glass. We are doing free-standing glass. I am excited to see how it turns out.

And the vanity. Our friend Avery made this sweet little cabinet. I am loving it and can't wait to get the sink and faucet  in. And the mirror. Which we are still waiting for. Who knew that this whole bathroom remodel could take so long.

The walls got a little paint today...

And a new whole in the wall for the mirror. We had to move it all over towards the right. This way it won't be cramped in the corner anymore! Getting closer to being done! Yippee Skippee!

The Kids Room

Given I am 8 months pregnant, nesting is definitely happening. I seem to be coming up with all sorts of projects. My latest project was to re-organize the kids room to get ready for this little baby girl. We are going to try and have them share a room-so I wanted to make sure I could fit all that I needed in there when the time comes to have them both sleeping together. I am still trying to work on the gallery wall...which seems to be driving me nuts...oh well. Bigger fish to fry.

Kade's big boy bed. He has been sleeping in it really well. This bed is actually part of  bunk beds, but we will set up the top portion later when the crib is gone and Kade can sleep on the top bunk. 

I had to do something with pink. I am kind of a fan of pink...so ruffles she will have. And pink ruffles. I made the bed skirt while Paul was away for 4 days snowboarding his dear butt off. I had to have a project to do at night. Anyhow, holy moly...I don't want to make ruffles for a really long time! But I do like the end product. It makes me feel good that she gets a tiny bit of girly-ness in the room.

Oh the wall....Some frames have pictures, others don't...and what to do with my red board and the hole below it. It may or may not get done before she comes. But I think it is coming together slowly.
So my dear sweet kids, I hope you both sleep well in this room and dream peacefully. ( Kade I know all you want to dream about is fire trucks, baseball and bikes. So dream on my sweet boy. I hope you teach your sister all your night sleeping habits that you have now.)

Baby Belly

I have been so lacking with blogging photos...of all events. But here is the latest belly bump collage. Two realities..my clothes are getting a bit snug....and not even covering the belly(that is why the new pictures are not with the old gray shirt) And Kade is not too cooperative with the photos shoots I have in mind. But here we are at 35 weeks.....

 This year we decided to cut down our own tree. Great idea...but on the day we went it poured! Paul and I thought it was the greatest thing. All Kade could say was that he wanted to get back in the truck. We tried out this new place in Atascadero. I think it was called Hidden Spring Tree farm. I highly recommend it if you are looking to cut down your own tree.

Given the rain, it was so hard to get any decent pictures...

Kade was really into the tree wagon, and wanted to have the tree in it...Paul ended up carrying the tree while Kade pulled the wagon.

Paul with the tree...

Our Christmas tree...I think it looks like a gum drop!

Merry Christmas! Can't wait to see what Santa brings this year:)

To pay or not to pay..

I guess I am feeling cheap...this whole blog thing is so fun for me. I love saving memories...and to have it all organized on a blog is pretty nice. But running into the problem of having to pay to store all my photos kind of threw me for a loop. I mean it is only 2 bucks a month...but what-the-beans. I want it to be free.
So I am still trying to figure out what I want to do. I am sure I will just give in to paying. Because what fun is a blog if you can't post pictures? So while I decide what to do, my pictures will be piling up, my belling growing quite and we will just have more to say in each blog.
I am sure you will see some pictures soon.

blog

Apparently I have loaded our blog up with too many pictures!! Now they are saying I have to pay to add more pictures. Anyone out there who reads my blog know how to have more storage for pictures without having to pay? ugh.

Halloween

It is almost Thanksgiving...What?! I haven't even taken the time to blog about Halloween. Yikes. These weeks have been flying by too fast. Second pregnancy is a funny thing....it just goes by so much faster...well at least thus far. I remember the last few months of Kades pregnancy lasting forever. It is pretty crazy to think that I am already in my final trimester. Anyhow, this blog is about Halloween. We had a great time. This picture pretty much sums it up. The one problem we are finding that occurred after Halloween, is that now Kade thinks that every day is Halloween and visiting all our neighbors is a must when we go for a walk. Good times:)
