And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.~Lee Greenwood

It's not February?!?

Posted in Life

Hmm?  I guess it has been awhile since I was on here.  I do have good reasons though.  One of the main ones is the house.  We have the kitchen basically done now.  The new countertop for the bar is up, the new pantry cabinet is in, cabinets scrubbed and refinished, walls painted and the floor grout is even scrubbed.  We also got the dining room painted and I am almost done refinishing the wood floor.  The master bathroom has a new cabinet which hubby had to cut out part of the countertop to put in.  Light fixture and faucet updating along with a good cleaning is still needed.


This is the new cabinet we put in.  The bottom shelves are pull outs.

The top color still looks pinkish in this picture but it is actually the same as what the kitchen is painted.

Another is we celebrated a milestone birthday for the twins.  They turned 10 on the 16th.  Instead of a big party, they asked for a trip to the mountains with a friend.  I found a cabin to rent and the 7 of us along with their friend, my mom and niece headed to the mountain.  We even met up with a fellow blogger and her family for lunch on Sunday.  We had hoped for snow but the weather didn't cooperate with us.

The last reason is sickness has caught up with us.  It started with Puddin in the mountains when she came down with a stomach illness.  She had gotten better when Eldestof5 and Dh came down with it.  As soon as they were better, Puddin came down with a fever this week for 3 days.  Anyone with young children know how fun that can be and it made it quite difficult to paint and clean floors holding a 2 year old.  Then she started on the mend and I got hit with a tickle in my throat on Thursday afternoon that was a full blown cough and fever by Friday.  I have been in bed most of today.  Twin 1 has it also.  Hopefully, it won't go any further.

Anyway, that was our February so now we will see what March will hold.  I will try to do better about posting!

Your kitchen looks great! So sorry you all continued with sickness after your trip. We enjoyed lunch (I've got pictures to post next time.), and Marissa and Daniella had a great time with the twins. They each had their own! LOL!
