This tiny little half bath took over 2 months to renovate, but it was worth it. I didn't really intend to gut and completely renovate this bath. My plan was to only replace the toilet - the flange was broken on the old one, causing the toilet to rock. And since we were going to have to remove the toilet to replace the flange, we might as well upgrade to a nicer toilet that doesn't stop up all the time. Then I started noticing that I just didn't really like anything about the room. This is what we started with - I'd already taken one door off before I remembered to take the "before" photos.<br />

The builder grade vanity wasn't even the right size...they'd actually cut a notch out of the vanity top to make it fit.<br />

I really tried to like the tile - I HATE removing tile. But Jon hated the tile too, and it looked terrible where they'd grouted around the door facing instead of installing it underneath the trim.<br />

When we renovated the rental house, the actual tiles came up easily - it was the mortar/thinset that was hard to remove. So I started demo-ing the tile with a chisel and hammer. I quickly realized that this particular tile was not going to be nearly as easy as I expected. I worked FOREVER just to get this much done. There was no tile under the vanity, so this is only TWO tiles that took me forever to demo.<br />

I found a few blog posts/videos that assured me a demolition hammer would take care of the tile and the thinset, so I rented one from Home Depot. <br />

It took care of the tile, but the thinset still wasn't budging. I really didn't want to have to grind the thinset off because of the dust, but there wasn't any other choice. Because the room is only 3x8, I couldn't use a big floor buffer like we used on the rental house. Jon ordered an angle grinder and a diamond blade, and it cut through the thinset like buttah. Yes, the dust was horrible, but worth the extra clean-up just to have the stuff GONE! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With demo officially over, it was time for the fun part! I've never tiled before, but I thought such a small room wouldn't be too hard. After doing it, I've decided that a small room is probably harder than a bigger room just because there's not as much space to work in. Cutting the tiles was the hardest part. I used my Rockler VersaCut circular saw with a tile-cutting blade, which took way too much time and energy. If I ever do this again, I'll rent a wet saw! Plus (since this was a bathroom), I had to deal with the funky cuts for the toilet. But it turned out beautifully! I love this tile we picked up at Lowes.<br />

Next came the "shiplap" wall. Since I couldn't find any real paneling that was as wide as I wanted, I bought a sheet of 1/4 inch plywood and cut it into 8 inch wide strips. I used nickels as spacers between the boards. <br />

I also had to move that light fixture a few inches - it wasn't centered on the wall.<br />

Next came the new toilet, also from Lowes. It's the American Standard Champion comfort height toilet - the one that can flush a bucket full of golf balls.<br />

I wanted an open vanity to make the room feel bigger. I built this one using <a href="http://www.ana-white.com/2010/02/plans-farmhouse-vanity-cheap-and-easy.html">this plan</a> from Ana White's site...I just adjusted the size to fit my room. It's built from pine 4x4's, 1x6's, 1x3's, and the top (visible in later pics) is a 1 inch thick pine panel. I stained it with Minwax "Ipswich Pine" and then 4 coats of tung oil finish.<br />

I'm so glad I did this now...it was quite a learning experience. I learned to lay tile and plumb a sink. Jon helped me get the vanity top out and set the new toilet in...everything else was all ME. <br />

I mean, I definitely did not love the master closet, but there are so many other things to do in this house - painting, raised garden beds outside, new chicken run, kitchen reno, etc. Plus, after making the doggie room under the stairs, I was planning on taking a break before tackling the kitchen this spring. But when Jon complained about the state of the closet, that was a good enough reason to go ahead and get it done. Anyone who knows me knows that I have a thing about closets...they need to be functional AND look great.<br />
<br />
The first house that Jon and I bought (the one in Cordova) had an incredible master closet. It was huge - about 8 feet wide by probably 15 feet (or more) long. Our second house's (in Oakland) master closet was just a tiny bit smaller, but still quite big. Our current house's master closet is pretty small compared to the last two (8ft x 5ft), but it's still big enough...just needed to make better use of the space. Since our current home does not have a linen closet in the master bath, one of the closet shelves was designated for towels and bathcloths. The first thing I had to do was make a new place for those. I made a pullout drawer for one of the bathroom cabinets - instant linen closet!<br />

This is what it looked like before. These shelves were made out of pressboard. They looked ok, but the surface was rough in a lot of places. Each side had double hanging rods with a small space for long hanging clothes at the back. The long hanging was hard to access because the shelves were so deep. There wasn't much space for shoes, so the closet floor was always covered with shoes. The last pics are what bugged Jon...screws and holes all over the place and the carpet.<br />

Demo on this closet was awful! All the screws were 3 inch screws, and most of them were stripped and had been painted over. Jon had to help me on some of the demo, because some of those screws just wouldn't budge. After everything was removed, I patched the holes in the walls.<br />
<br />
I built the drawers first. They are the same width as the previous shelves, but they are not as deep. Scarlett was my little helper when I was building the upper shelves.<br />

I love a nice, white bright closet, but I decided to line the walls behind the clothes with cedar planks. The main reason I went with cedar is because it's a natural insect repellent. Our bedroom is on the side of the house near the woods, and we found several brown recluse spiders on our bedroom floor shortly after we moved in. Getting rid of the overgrown flower bed outside our bedroom (and pest control) helped a lot with spiders - I haven't seen any for some time now. But one can never be too careful...I have a fear of spiders crawling into shoes....<br />
Cedar also absorbs excess moisture in the air. Our closet is between our bathroom and the laundry room. We don't have a problem with mold/mildew on our clothes, but I figured it couldn't hurt anyway. <br />
<br />

Since the closet shares a wall with the laundry room, I was able to put in a little laundry chute below the upper shelves. It's just a little window into the laundry room...there's a laundry basket on the other side of the wall to catch the dirty clothes. No need to keep a laundry hamper in the closet anymore :) I still need to make a door to cover it...the draft that comes through there is cold!<br />

I will probably redo those drawers someday. This was only my second attempt at ever making drawers, so they aren't exactly perfect. They work just fine for now though.<br />
<br />
My side has long hanging and double hanging rods. Jon's just has double hanging rods all the way across. And yes, this closet is staged. I didn't put all our clothes in for the pictures - it looks neater when it's not packed full.<br />

I love our new closet! I didn't think I'd ever get it finished, but it was worth it. Jon was very patient living with all our clothes all over the bedroom while I worked on this. <br />

I've been wanting to make a sliding barn door for the laundry room since we moved in last year. The swinging door that was there blocked a closet in the laundry room when opened. For convenience, I took the old door off, planning to put up a sliding one. Now - a year later - it's done! <br />
<br />
Making this barn door was pretty simple. It took much longer to measure, decide on the style, and paint than it took me to actually build it. Since you can find instructions on building your own barn door all over Pinterest, I'm not going into detail on how I did it. Here's the door before painting.<br />

<br />
<br />
The sliding door hardware I ordered online from Home Depot. It was much less expensive than anywhere else I checked, and it works just fine. <br />
<br />
Now on to the 300 other projects on my list.<br />

We have been working on several things - especially outside - but this is the first room that is completely finished. I absolutely HATED the tile in the girls' bathroom when we moved in. It was plain, stark white square tiles, and the grout (which used to be white) was pretty stained. But after tearing out the old tile in our rental last fall, replacing it was the LAST thing I wanted to do. Here is the only real before pic I have (it's from the realtor.com listing). <br />
<br />

<br />
So I decided I'd try to work with it. The biggest problem was the grout - after a thorough cleaning, it was still gross. As a last resort, I tried Grout Renew from Home Depot. That stuff is amazing...the grout was white again! Then I painted the walls white. At this point, Savannah started complaining about all the white. I believe she said, "You paint EVERYTHING white!", but I convinced her to give it a chance. So here is the new girls' bathroom.<br />
<br />

Savannah insisted I replace the toilet seat with a new light-up one...didn't take a pic of that though.<br />
<br />
Next we will be finishing the outside before the weather gets too cold. After that I'll be doing more of the inside stuff - and there is LOTS of stuff to be done. <br />

We've been working on renovating a little rental house, AND we have a new house for ourselves. Today, I'm posting before and after pics for the rental. <br />
<br />
Here's what it looks like from the outside. I love this little neighborhood with all the old trees.<br />
<br />

We've been calling it the Tardis because it looks a lot smaller on the outside than it feels on the inside. It actually has 3 bedrooms!<br />
<br />
The living room and hall<br />

<br />
The kitchen really didn't need any work, but it was just so cramped and the layout was all wrong. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4duQQm087wZ_Dqta4RfrPnN2hyphenhyphenedyKOCmKXhe8YhSvFxHQQH8RgVK8jQeWfya9vdd4NRK8_9zaEXrBZc3t1ho1pFJq-5NEqZk8lmglPhdDJ4DnUmVZmcU6nSeBPeccWEDlOy2UJ0PidzE/s1600/blogger-image--138551765.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4duQQm087wZ_Dqta4RfrPnN2hyphenhyphenedyKOCmKXhe8YhSvFxHQQH8RgVK8jQeWfya9vdd4NRK8_9zaEXrBZc3t1ho1pFJq-5NEqZk8lmglPhdDJ4DnUmVZmcU6nSeBPeccWEDlOy2UJ0PidzE/s320/blogger-image--138551765.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The angle on the first pic makes the kitchen look ok, but you can see in the next one just how tiny the space was. That little bar stuck way out into the walkway. The refrigerator was supposed to be right beside the stove, so there wasn't even room to open a fridge door all the way.<br />
<br />

Dining area. The kitchen/dining floors were ceramic tile. The living, hall, and bedrooms were peel and stick vinyl planks.<br />

Bathroom before. There were ceramic tile floors in here too. The bathroom was the only room where we didn't replace the flooring.<br />

We ripped out the pantry closet and bar, all the cabinets, and the tile. Some during photos....Savannah and Scarlett had fun helping break up the tile.<br />

<br />
That was a LOT of work! All that was left was sheetrock and concrete. We replaced the flooring in the entire house (except the bathroom) with wood look tile, and it is gorgeous! We actually hired someone to put down the new tile, because neither one of us has tried it before.<br />
<br />
Kitchen - after<br />
<br />

<br />
All the plumbing stayed in the same place (sink, washer, and dryer). The fridge also stayed in the same place, but we put a cabinet style pantry in the spot where the stove was. We moved the stove where the old pantry closet was, had a vent put in, and installed a brand new range hood that is now vented to the outside.<br />
<br />

<br />
The cabinets are all new...bare wood stock cabinets that I painted white. Jon hung the cabinets on the sink side. I did the pantry cabinet, and I built the fridge cabinet beside it. We replaced the old formica countertops with a very dark granite. I wish I'd gotten pics from more angles, but we were literally finishing up the kitchen as our new tenants were moving in! <br />
<br />
I made these floating shelves, and I think they turned out great. And I love the white subway tile backsplash!<br />
<br />

<br />
The dining area is now open to the kitchen. The window was just a little too low to fit a standard stock cabinet under it, but the kitchen really needed more counter space. So I built the white cabinet to fit below the window. That was my first attempt at making cabinet doors, but it turned out ok. Ignore the hole in the ceiling over the stove...we didn't have time to patch that yet. And that hanging light fixture is gone now...Jon replaced the dining and kitchen lights with white spotlight style fixtures.<br />

<br />
I made this island too, and I really like it. It's counter height and the top is granite, so it can be used as workspace. It also functions as the dining table (there's plenty of space for barstools).<br />

We kept the bathroom vanity cabinet but replaced the countertop with the same granite that's in the kitchen. There's also a new sink and faucet. And we replaced the old tiny mirror with a large one from home depot.<br />

That's it! It turned out great, but it was a LOT of work....especially since our own house sold in the middle of renovating this one. There was quite a few more things we intended to do the the Tardis - redo the bedroom closets and build a deck out back - but when ours sold, we had to put all that on hold. Now I'm trying to get unpacked and situated in our new house, and there are plenty of projects to do here! <br />

It seems like just a few weeks ago I was doing last year's pics. Every year I promise myself I'm going to do them earlier so we can take them outside while it's still warm. But I still didn't get to it until after Savannah's birthday, so excuse the poor lighting - we had to take them inside again. Scarlett was a little more cooperative this year...but just a little. She enjoyed trying on the dress and posing for about 3 minutes, then she was bored with it.<br />

Jon and I tried to prepare her for it...to tell her that it wasn't going to be like in class when they are practicing. I don't think she really "got it" until she was actually out there though. There was only one other girl in her division, so she only got to fight once. She did really good for her first time - at least we thought so. It was 9-6. But Savannah wasn't happy AT ALL about second place.<br />

July 31st is also Malice's birthday...she's one year old now! Jon made her a special doggy birthday cake with peanut butter frosting.<br />

And we've already started another school year...the summer flew by so fast! Savannah is now in second grade, and she picked a fabulous outfit for her first day.<br />

Scarlett's first day of school outfit<br />

We went to LeBohneur last month for Scarlett's surgery. Here's our little patient in her hospital gown. <br />
<br />

<br />
She was such a good sport, but she started getting cranky after several hours of waiting. Actually, we were all getting pretty cranky. We'd waited all day. Finally, someone from the surgical team came out and told us she'd be going back in just a few minutes. Not too long after that, they came back and told us we'd have to reschedule. <br />
<br />

<br />
Needless to say, we weren't happy. But we didn't have much choice in the matter, so we left. Scarlett is going back to have her surgery on Wednesday. So everyone say a prayer for our little sweetheart.<br />
<br />
I'll end with this pic of Savannah the artist. Mimi and Pappi gave her an easel and paints, and she had a ball painting Saturday afternoon.<br />

We had such a great time...I love that place! This time Mimi and Pappi went with us. We stayed at the Wave Loft this time. The Wave Loft isn't as big as the last condo we rented, but it was perfect for the six of us. It also wasn't too far from the Sugar Shack...Mimi and Pappi made many trips there with the girls. <br />
<br />

Here we all are walking to the beach on our first day. Savannah was a little disgruntled that she had to carry her own body board.<br />

<br />
When we first got to the beach on that first day, Scarlett ran to the water and immediately got knocked down by a big wave. After that, if she wanted to go into the water, she insisted someone carry her.<br />

Jon, Scarlett and I walked waaaaay down the beach and found a seashell graveyard....we saw hundreds of huge shells. All were broken, unfortunately, but it was still pretty cool. Scarlett had a run-in with this little guy.<br />

That's him right there in the center...the crab. She was happily telling me she'd found a crab until he took a step toward her....then she ran screaming.<br />

Yesterday was Scarlett's birthday. I can't believe she is 4 years old already! She requested lunch at Jason's Deli. Her gift was a ballerina dance-with-me doll that's as tall as she is. We'll have Scarlett's real party on Sunday.<br />

Totally unexpected! We weren't expecting them to start laying until Septemberish. So we didn't have their nesting boxes ready yet. The girls were super eggcited! Savannah has already requested I cook these eggs for breakfast in the morning.<br />

But first, I need to post these pics....I've been meaning to for a month now, and I know some people who are dying to see them. Our wonderfully talented photographer friend, Jennifer Tibbetts, visited this spring and took some awesome photos! I'm not patient enough to wait for ALL of them to upload, though, so I'm going to just post my absolute favorite ones. <br />

Ok, now for the big news. Savannah lost her first tooth!<br />

Actually, TWO teeth. She has waited and waited and WAITED to lose a tooth. We checked fairly often, but never found any loose teeth. I noticed one night that her two bottom adult teeth were just starting to come in behind her baby teeth. Since they were coming in behind and not from below, the baby teeth weren't loose at all. So she had to go to the dentist and have them pulled. She was so brave and didn't cry at all.<br />
<br />
Since Savannah waited SO LONG (she's 7 1/2!) AND had to have them pulled, the Tooth Fairy gave her something extra special for losing her first two teeth.<br />

Here's a shot of the new and improved fairy door. Scarlett broke the door off the old one, so Tooth Fairy got a new door in a new location that's out of Scarlett's reach.<br />

I snapped this pic of the girls playing the other day. We're going to Rosemary Beach again this summer (YAY!). The girls can't wait to go, so they were playing "beach." The tan blanket is the sand, and the pink is the water (we don't have a blue one). Savannah is rubbing sunblock on Scarlett...always the concerned big sister. <br />

Rosetta, Zuba, Sweetie, and Daisy. They are quite a bit bigger now. We actually have one more now that's not in the photo...we got her a few days after these chicks. <br />
<br />
As soon as the days were warm enough, they started getting outside playtime in their coop.<br />

Most of my friends know that, after I was diagnosed with MS over 2 years ago, I adopted a traditional, whole foods, paleo-style diet. And most of my friends understand WHY I now eat this way. For those of you who don't know (and who actually care), this means I stay away from processed foods and food additives. I also avoid eating breads and most grains. When I first started researching treatments for MS (other than medications), I learned that eating food additives and also grains/breads can worsen all kinds of autoimmune diseases. I'm not going to go into the "how does it make it worse" or cite research here...if you want sources, just google it.<br />
<br />
It was pretty obvious from everything I read that diet has a MAJOR impact on autoimmune diseases. Obviously, there's no single way of eating that is perfect for everyone, but certain "diets" seem to be better for different people. I've spent the last 2 1/2 years paying very close attention to how I feel when I eat certain foods and take certain supplements. I've also continued to research diet and nutrition - REAL nutrition, not the "low fat, sugar-free, drink 8 glasses of water a day" junk you hear from most health professionals. <br />
<br />
So, does 2 1/2 years of researching on my own and experimenting with my diet make me an expert on nutrition? No, it doesn't. What it DOES make me an expert on is what is best for ME! I've gone into detail about my diet in other blog posts, so I won't repeat myself here. But I do want to give one example. I've learned that when I eat grains (bread, pizza crust, breading on fried stuff, etc), I feel like crap for days after. If I cheat and eat that delicious rosemary bread at Old Venice or a bunch of tortilla chips at El Nopal, for the next couple of days I have headaches and my joints hurt. I also experience fatigue when I eat bread...I find that I can't finish a two mile run that I might have previously had no problem finishing.<br />
<br />
I know a lot of people think I'm crazy or weird or a "food snob"...whatever. I buy grass-fed beef, pastured pork/poultry, and pastured eggs because the nutritional quality of animals that have been raised that way is so much better than factory farmed animals. Why does it make a difference if it lived outside or in cage inside a factory? Well, here's a simple example. Pork is supposed to be a great source of vitamin D. A pig makes vitamin D (just as humans do) from sunlight on its skin. So a pig that is spending all day outside and getting lots of sunshine is going to have high levels of vitamin D. A pig kept in a cage inside a building is going to have low levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D levels play a HUGE role in treating multiple sclerosis, and I just happen to have multiple sclerosis. So which pig should I get my bacon from? <br />
<br />
See, IT MAKES SENSE! There is a REASON I eat certain things and don't eat certain things. I'm not saying I never splurge...I do allow myself to have treats sometimes. But when I do splurge, I know I'm going to feel bad the next day. So I save my splurges for something I reeaally love...like blueberry scones from Starbucks on date night. What upsets me is the folks who think I'm a food nazi or who make fun of me because of the way I eat. I'm tired of the people who give me the "eye-roll" when I politely decline a donut or slice of pizza when everyone else is having one. The ones who look at me like I'm nuts and say, "It's just a cupcake...so spend an extra hour at the gym." Would you say the same thing to a diabetic? Would you suggest someone who has heart disease eat a plate of chicken fried in Crisco and tell them to just walk and extra mile this week to "cancel it out"? There is NO DIFFERENCE! Why is it ok for a person with heart disease to eat a "heart healthy" diet, but someone with an autoimmune disease who eats a traditional, whole foods diet must have an eating disorder? <br />
<br />
Ok, I'm done. I'm truly thankful for my friends and family who are so understanding and supportive. I just had to get that off my chest :)Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03587019235469534964noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004334956645157743.post-46278077943595396862013-01-22T20:55:00.001-06:002013-01-22T20:56:34.330-06:00Savy's Birthday and Other StuffThe time between my posts seems to get longer and longer. Facebook makes it too easy to neglect the blog! Let's see...I think we left off just before Savannah's 7th birthday. She picked out the cake herself from Walmart...shocking, yes, I know. We always get our cakes from Costco, but Savannah wanted a Barbie cake. Since Costco doesn't do the licensed character cakes, Wally World it was. I won't do it again, though. I went to pick up the cake the morning before the party at 10am just like was on the order form, and the bakery staff couldn't find it. They finally found the cake....in the freezer and UNDECORATED. So I had to wait around for nearly an hour for them to decorate it. I could have really used that time to do other stuff on that morning before the party! So no more Walmart cakes for us; we're sticking with Costco from now on.<br />

Instead of a big themed party, we invited just a few friends for the party this year. Then Savy got to pick one friend to stay after the party for a movie and sleepover. She chose Taylor, and we all saw "Wreck-It Ralph".<br />

Our wedding dress project photos are also due around Savannah's birthday. For those of you who don't know, around the same time every year, I take photos of the girls wearing my wedding dress. One day when they're all grown up, I'll give them a collage of the photos wearing my dress at each age. If you want to see the previous years, just click on the Wedding Dress Project label over to the right. I took a ton...here are just a few.<br />

Santa didn't forget Malice...she loved the piece of reindeer antler he brought her.<br />

This is the playhouse I built for the girls. I cut it pretty close this year...I had a hard time working on it since Jon was out of town for two weeks right before Christmas. I'll post pics of it decorated later.<br />

After we opened presents here at home, we left for Mimi's house. I took a ton of pics there, but I'm just too lazy to post them all. I thought this one was really sweet though...Scarlett and Lee Otis.<br />

After Mimi's house, we were off to the Delta to see Granny Ruth and Aunt Lesa. We spent several days there visiting family. Savannah was dying to go hunting while we were there, but her daddy doesn't have a hunting license. John Robert was nice enough to take her out for a while. Isn't she just darling in camo? <br />

Once we were home, it was time to put presents together - joy. The Barbie vacation house wasn't too hard.<br />

In late September, Jon and I took a weekend trip to Biloxi while Mimi and Pappi kept the girls. Jon's brother, Troy, got us a free room at the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino. <br />

Even though it rained all weekend, there was plenty to keep us entertained at the hotel. We had a great time visiting with Troy and Shannon.<br />

Sunday, we went to Kaitlyn's birthday party. Savannah had never skated before, but she was determined to learn. It didn't take her long to catch on.<br />

I skated too. It had been probably been 25 years or more since I last skated, but it's like riding a bike....well, almost. I only fell once, then it was smooth sailing the rest of the time.<br />

Mary and I participated in the race. I was more concerned with staying on my feet that speed. I may have come in last, but at least I didn't fall! Everyone got a free snack bar coupon for participating.<br />

Robin took a video of the race. Unfortunately, they turned the lights off for the adults, so you really can't see what's going on. But if you watch after the race, there's proof that I can STILL roller skate without falling! And if you watch even longer, you'll see Robin had no idea how to turn off the camera....<br />

Halloween...Savannah's favorite holiday. She decided to be a werewolf this year. Quite ferocious looking isn't she? Scarlett wanted to be a mermaid, but she didn't want just any old mermaid costume. She wanted one with a real tail. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a kids' mermaid costume with a real tail? All we could find was the Disney Ariel costume that is a dress with no tail. We looked ALL OVER TOWN for one that Scarlett approved of. We finally found the perfect one at Costco of all places. She loved it!<br />

I finished another project this weekend. Just after Scarlett was born, I turned the hallway between the girls' bedrooms into a mini-library. Here's an old pic of how it looked.<br />

Not too long ago, Scarlett started taking the books off the shelves. When she tore several pages out of Savannah's favorite book, I gave up and just took them down. <br />
<br />

I didn't want to leave the wall bare, though, so I built something else there instead. Now the girls have a place to hang all the stuff that usually gets dropped by the back door.<br />

I have a ton of pics to post...just can't seem to keep on top of the blog. I'll start with these cute photos of Savannah helping Scarlett learn to ride a bike. Scarlett can't wait until she can ride a bike just like her big sis.<br />

On Scarlett's actual birthday (back on July 31st), I took the girls to the Memphis Botanic Garden. The last time we went there, Scarlett was too young to play...she was still confined to the stroller. This time both girls had a ball.<br />

So when Jon found one on sale at Toys R Us, he picked one up for us. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but we had NO idea what we were getting into. I won't go into details (don't want to relive the nightmare!), but I can say I don't think I've ever hated an inanimate object as much as I hated this pool while we were trying to set it up. <br />
<br />
I think the box said something like "ready to swim in 3 hours." This sucker took us 3 weeks to set up! In our defense, we did have to go out of town a couple of times during that period, but still....3 weeks! We ran into numerous problems, the worst of which was figuring out how to get an almost perfectly level spot to put it. <br />
<br />
Now that the set-up is complete, the girls are really enjoying their new pool. It's just big enough for Savy to actually practice swimming in.<br />
<br />

We took a trip to New Orleans a few weeks ago with some friends. We rode the train down on a Friday, then came home the following Monday. We had a great time. I didn't take too many photos this time. Here's what I got. <br />
<br />
Lovely view of the city from the ferry.<br />

Bourbon Street. Pitiful, yes, I know. I don't even remember what I was trying to photograph....or maybe this was just an accident. <br />

Anyway, it was a great trip! We rented a condo with a rooftop terrace (and LOTS of stairs!) just a half block from Bourbon Street.<br />
<br />
Back at home, I caught Savannah and Scarlett actually getting along...a rare thing these days. They're looking at Savannah's Puzzle Buzz books.<br />

I have another finished project to show off. I was never really happy with the bench I built a few years ago for the breakfast nook, so I built a bigger and better one. I finally finished painting it today, and I waited patiently all day for Jon to get home and help me move it into the house. As with anything new that comes into the house, Scarlett had to sit on it immediately.

The other team had a RINGER! There was a very good 7 year old on the other team this time....even though the age range for our teams is 4-6 years. The score was 5-4, so they held their own. Savy wasn't too disappointed because she scored another goal this game. Since Pappi has promised her $5 for every goal she scores this season, I think she's up to $20 now. He's going to pay up after her last game - just before we leave for Disney World, so she'll have her own spending money while we're there.<br /><br /><br />There was alot of excitement in the cove this afternoon. Abbey, Zoe, Mason, and Jared all celebrated their big day today with a HUGE party. Savy couldn't wait until it was time for the party and kept asking me all day, "is it time to go yet?" She kept looking out our front window to make sure they weren't starting without her. When she saw the mobile petting zoo pull up out front, she couldn't wait another minute!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfqOpjuV8NRW9ogt7gqAeU1wRUciw7fyBAf5uZErqFw4qw5ifqvge2mL0BzqfJWNB0iJIEJ10MsIPyrbj-7Y4hyphenhyphen4J97gL9YtY-uLFQJf4Sd2STCZBayo75xroEC3o408e7tL0IWCYU3a-/s1600/DSC09707.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Scarlett hasn't learned how to be gentle with critters yet.

When I was looking back through the photos I took today, this one freaked me out at first. I couldn't figure out who this was in the pic. I didn't realize Jon had been taking photos of me...I guess I didn't recognize myself because I never see myself from behind.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXoltQ26zuftUCKxIPNXd4eCPYYQGDzxBHXQOtvQH_kCw9XlI5tszAcYK9xwtM1S5SiDHesgE-igbYmeTb4_kQKMMajL9M69nsivM-lKOHDsAM4YlWKMpx8yQR4NnuU_ReL9GDBKM15q6z/s1600/DSC09748.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXoltQ26zuftUCKxIPNXd4eCPYYQGDzxBHXQOtvQH_kCw9XlI5tszAcYK9xwtM1S5SiDHesgE-igbYmeTb4_kQKMMajL9M69nsivM-lKOHDsAM4YlWKMpx8yQR4NnuU_ReL9GDBKM15q6z/s320/DSC09748.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731457051000594514" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDAJaTRz4Y2XOb0sP_PrUh2k3t9qyY0vImHsQAc4yzm34uPWbYA5jSaRmuau1mKG4_DwAivtoHm3H8MhhDPdxbi1yCSWUuYQl9znaQH_-o1w3C5oCHriiF8on8U1hFKc_oqKymfjW80RtR/s1600/DSC09756.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDAJaTRz4Y2XOb0sP_PrUh2k3t9qyY0vImHsQAc4yzm34uPWbYA5jSaRmuau1mKG4_DwAivtoHm3H8MhhDPdxbi1yCSWUuYQl9znaQH_-o1w3C5oCHriiF8on8U1hFKc_oqKymfjW80RtR/s320/DSC09756.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731457062064391122" /></a><br /><br /><br />That just wasn't good enough, though, and Scarlett wanted to hold them herself.

The Easter Bunny sneaked into our yard sometime early this morning and hid eggs for the girls. Savannah was awake and ready to hunt eggs bright and early this morning. Jon and I talked her into letting Scarlett sleep just a little longer. The hunt was on as soon as Scarlett woke up.<br /><br />We left the baskets on the front porch last night so the Easter Bunny could fill them with goodies.
