Getting things sorted out...

Wow we have a lot of work still ahead of us. Today we did the hardware store...got a border for the girls room and a few stickies to make it a bit more colourful, also picked up a neat looking fan which we will install eventually hehe. Also got ourselves a ladder so we can get up into the attic and a garden hose so we can actually wash the car! (wonders will never cease). Realized that the van will not fit into the garage with the current door and opener it just comes too low, so that is one of the things we will be putting the tax refund towards.

The stupid bath plug is giving us grief, Matt has fixed it twice already and my husband once (at least Matt showed James how to fix it!). Stupid thing I have a feeling we will have to replace the fixture. Hmm what else have we achieved oh yes, the pine shelving unit now has a home, I will apologize in advance the guest room is er cramped but it does have a nice queen bed, but I hate not putting anything in that room as it would be a waste of space and room, so currently the bookcase resides behind the door and the pine unit at the foot of the bed, on the bright side there is still room to walk around it...I've also put in a table and lamp so there can be light at least. It's functional and clean and cheaper than a hotel room at least :) And well ok so it doesn't have an en-suite bathroom but there will be free home cooked meals to make up for it.

My lovely wonderful husband is out trying to get blinds for the kitchen, sorry but I wanna be able to walk around in a spaghetti top and knickers and not scare off the school kids and neighbours in the morning, it's too bloody warm sometimes to wear much else.

Got two lovely fans for the living room and girls bedroom, looking forward to getting those up and working eventually. So glad that I am married to a practical man and have a great friend with an equally awesome husband who is also a good fixer upper. On the positive side of things this is our home, we don't share any walls the kids can make as much noise as they want and I'm not worrying about waking anyone. The kitchen I'm still in love with no really I am it's big and wonderful and I have plenty of work space. Life is good and even tho we might have the occasional bicker and we get frustrated now and then we still love each other and we work at it. We have to life would be so difficult with the girls otherwise.
