Bathroom Update

My fabulous Sister-in-law is helping (and by helping, I do mean doing) me do a bathroom update!  Here is what we (she) accomplished today!

Before: Gross tiles and baby doll left behind:

 
The process begins...
 
Finished laminate tile!  Grouted and everything!
 
What a lovely toilet.

 
Obviously we still have the baseboards to do, but we still have to do the finish on our "new" over-a-year-old windows, so we will *probably* do it at the same time.  Yay for less-gross bathroom!

Rockets

Vinegar and baking soda rockets are the best! I picked it up at goodwill for super cheap during our date night "popping tags" for each other adventure. Sophia is very impressed with the rocket!

We also started March Madness! Sophia loves to watch and play basketball, and this time insisted that she needed her pink hat to properly play. Love it!

Habemus Papam!

What a wonderful new pope! Just for posterity, it was Wednesday before spring break. I worked in the morning, come home for the afternoon so I could return to work that evening for a retreat I was leading. With all of the technology available, I wasn't worried about missing anything. Between the Pope Alarm from focus, Twitter and friends I was sure to know instantly. And yet..... I was vacuuming!! Which blocks out the sound of my phone. Ah well, I was about 4 minutes late to the party. Whether I was observing or not, we have been blessed with a holy, humble and joyful new Vicar of Christ! How exciting!

Happy Feast of St Joseph - a day to nOT observe your Lenten fast! Celebrate!

Sleeping!

Today my 2 years and 3 month old slept in her new toddler bed for the first time! We had a blast putting it together with Shaw on our snow day. Well fine, Shaw really put it all together! :). Happy 6 month bday Monica!
