Conversation with Kolton

Talk around the dinner table Friday night went something like this:
Kolton (our 4 year old nephew): Why isn’t the TV on?
Grandpa Hank: I turned it off.
Aunt Jill: We wanted to hear how your day went.
Kolton: No new gossip here.

What 4 year old says that? We even quizzed him to see if he knew the meaning of gossip to which he answered, “It is talk about someone else.” For kicks we asked, “Who’s the gossip in your house?” His answer?

“Daddy!”

Sooooo close!

This week= final details! Today they will be finishing the trim and tiling the shower in the master bedroom. Thursday and Friday they will do the second (& final) coat of paint. Next week carpet will be installed and then we can finally move in!!! Luckily, it looks like moving day and my spring break are gong to align perfectly! We'll keep you posted.

Kitchen Cabinets and Bathroom Floor

Yesterday the kitchen cabinets were installed. Kyle put in the bathroom floor. This wasn't part of the oringinal plan but he did a really nice job.

These pictures aren't of great quality but you can get a little taste of what the floors will look like.

The WAY too yellow bathroom before it got repainted

Our house was finally painted this week and like everything else it didn't go completely according to plan. We actually had to do a "take 2" this weekend where a guy came and repainted the bathroom (no more bright yellow) and ceiling in our bedroom (somehow it managed to be green like the walls). Here are a few pictures. This week they will be hanging trim and doors and maybe even laying some of the floor. Unfortunately, it looks like we will have to be out of our other house before the new one is done so I think we will be staying with Kyle's mom for awhile. I hope she doesn't mind roommates!

Update

Don't be fooled by the ticker!!! I know it reads: "0 days until our big move." Unfortunately that is untrue. We were supposed to move March 1st but that didn't happen. We will be moving in the next week or two whether the house is done or not. It has been predicted that it would be done by the end of March. We might have to be basement dwellers or nomads for awhile!
