So the last few weeks have been filled with home improvement projects! WHAT FUN!! We bought new kitchen cabinets, are trying to get the backyard fixed up, and painters come tomorrow to paint the outside of the house.
The kitchen cabinets are very old and need to be updated but the house really needs to be repainted. Mark said he would rather install cabinets than paint the house so that is the game plan. Mark plans to install the cabinet himself (we know someone who can give him some pointers) and by the end of the week the house will freshly painted. I am thrilled about the house but not looking forward to the amount of time it will take to get the old cabinets out, new cabinets in, and the counter tops on but I know that the kitchen will look amazing once its done. I just really want the kitchen done before the holidays.
The backyard is another project WE get to do! When we first saw the house there was a broken-down underground spa in the backyard. The bank had someone break it out and we were so happy that we didn't have to do it. But there was some re-bare exposed and as we dug down to cut it we discovered that what had been broken out was just tossed inside the spa. Mark with a little help from me and ours dads dug all the dirt out. You could imagine all the junk that was thrown inside instead of hauled away.
Tessa is getting bigger and getting really good at climbing. She has been sick the past week and half with a cold and cough and on Friday we found out that she has an ear infection. Our nights have not been so restful.
