Snow Day #3

After the sun came out yesterday we were sure that the kids would be going back to school. Not so. They are thrilled to be having snow day #3.

The last two days the kids have gone sledding, played in the snow and spent time at friends houses. Brayden loved sledding and jumping (more like falling) on the trampoline. Trent and I decided to tackle the redecorating project we have been talking about in the bathroom. We made it about half way through. Wonder how long it will take to finish it!

The second snow day Trent went back to work and the kids were all at friends houses and my car battery was dead so they were gone all day. It was kind of lonely around here and Brayden was very bored with just me. Last night I finally got everyone picked up and they were exhausted. I can't remember the last time they were all so tired. They have had a blast with the snow. Unfortunately today it seems that the only snow left is on the neighborhood roads so there is not much to play with. We are going to get the house back in shape and then find somewhere fun to go. If we have to have snow day #3 I guess we'll make the most of it!

That is a lot of work on the bathroom! I'm impressed. I'm sure soon it will be looking new like your front room!

Everyone looks warm and set for fun all bundled up!

Ok - I am beyond nosey...in your post you say Trent went back to school...is he teaching? Going to school?

AND - what is your plan for the bathroom? I admire you! We are in the middle of a home improvement nightmare! Most of the furniture for the living room is in the dining room becuase we have this HUGE pile of hickory in the living room waiting to be installed in our room, the upstairs hall, the office and the living room. The mess is DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! The installers called yesterday to say that our hickory treads for the stairs aren't finished. SO instead of starting Monday...they won't be here til the 9th...the mess continues!!!

AND now we have wood trim for the interior windows and doors...Ben made it and I am varnishing it and if I have a single brain cell left when I'm through it will be no less than a complete miracle!!!
