Our first remodeling project




So we've painted a few walls in our married years, but that's about it in the way of home remodeling or home improvement. Over the past few weeks we've taken on a cooler task - updating the bathrooms with new counter tops, sinks and faucets. Plus, our master bath is no longer purple. I actually did nothing other than pick things out, but our (almost) brother in law John did the plumbing, his friend installed and cut the counter tops, and Barclay and his dad painted, caulked and patched some wood today. So we really owe a lot to John and Peter - the handy members of the family. Now it's all done except for one faucet we had to send back b/c a piece was broken. We put vessels and waterfall faucets in our master bath. It also got painted "Lighthouse Shadow" - ha! I just love paint names. The two smaller bathrooms got under-mount sinks and 3 piece faucets (rather than the ones that combine the handle with the faucet).

While Barclay was out this morning buying the paint and other supplies, I drug out the halloween costumes to see if Lily would be interested in playing with them. Not so much. Lily was afraid of every costume (even the frog) and wanted nothing to do with putting them on. We don't even have one scary costumes b/c they're all in baby and toddler sizes. So while I'd like to provide you with a picture of Lily the tiger and Addy the dragon, you'll only get to see Addy the dragon..Lily calls her "baby dragon".

THe bathrooms look great! I've been debating whether I should get Mike a costume. Since we're all alone here it kind of seems silly. We'll see! We CANNOT WAIT to see you guys in Nov!!!

Everything looks lovely....Yes the costume this year is a problem. Liam wants to be a Pirate! but he only wants his sword and runs around saying "RRRR" He is getting to the picky age of clothes, but he is not scared of anything...in fact he puts blankets over his head and says he's a monster and chases our dog. Poor Miya she is abused in so many ways!
By the way, is that Richard in the picture below?? LOVE IT!
talk to you soon, maria (still pregnant)

Melissa - you can dress Michael up to answer the door for tricker treaters even if you don't go out. Want me to put a spider costume in the mail? It's in between Addy and Lily's sizes, so may be perfect for Michael.
