Miss Fix-its

So, we've been working on a few house projects lately...to say kids learn by watching is an understatement.
Don't worry mom, I'll 'bix' it
Let's see, I think she did something like this...
No Kayla, it was like this.
Fine, have the toaster, I'll fix the tea pot!
We've also been flying all around.  So Tuesday, after we took Kayla for her 15 month check up; 24.6lbs, a double ear infection and an upper respiratory infection...ugh!  We headed to the zoo
Tick-tack-toe...3 cuties in a row

Little of this...little of that...

An update on home reno...the drywall is almost all up!  We just have the mudroom left and that is being insulated this week.  Woot, woot!  Which means all that's left until move in is; mud and sand the main floor, mud and sand the cracks in the plaster throughout the upstairs, stain the trim, paint every surface -except living room and office ;)  install kitchen cabinets, flooring and backsplash...who am I kidding.  But seeing the drywall is certainly a step in the right direction.
My little helpers last week
Kitchen - cabinets will be L shaped with an island
1/2 bath - vanity and pantry with toilet around the corner
So yes, it would have been easier to buy a new house, or turn key house or house that was like everyone else's.  But we aren't those people.  Sorry mom.  So, we may look like this at the end of the night or even the mornings some days... 

But we still have lots of laughter, love and smiles...




Yes my smoothie was good,
and if you'll leave me alone, I'll finish my breakfast..
And the whipped cream from your coffee...
BTW, I got up here by myself.
What you lookin' at...must have learned it from mom's,
"go faster or get out of the let lane already!"  look.
She's going to kill me at her wedding!
I don't know how we do it either...but we manage perfectly!
