Thankful Thursday

Today I am Thankful for all of the veterans that have served our country. Without you, we would not be the country we are today. May we continue to lift up and support our service men and women as they do the difficult, scary, and highly honorable job of protecting our country and freedom. Thank you!

Happy Veterans Day!

Tiny Half Bath Before

Alright, here are some before pics of our tiny downstairs half bath. Jim ripped out the vanity and toilet over 2 years ago, then he put the toilet back in (same toilet) because my sister and her hubby were coming to visit and my sister was pregnant at the time so we didn't want her to have to go to the upstairs bathroom in the middle of the night. Then the half bath stayed like that, just a toilet, for the last 2 years. I did take a lot of the wallpaper off too, but I don't have any pics of that. Sorry!

Vanity straight ahead when entering the door. See how the ceiling is slanting above the sink? This bathroom is under the stairway.

Toilet to the right of the door

Looking at the floor from the doorway.

Well, that's our lovely little half bath/powder room before we had it redone. I will post the after photos in a couple days!

Hi....Remember Me??

Long time no see! I hope there is SOMEONE out there still interested in my blog! I am going to try this out again. I am not going to even try to post every day, but maybe a couple times a week.  Maybe only once a week. I am not going to work myself up about it though. If I can get around to it, I will blog. And hopefully I will be able to keep up with some of YOUR blogs too! I really miss my blog friends and I am hoping I can do a better job of being a good blog friend to you.

So wow...what's happened since I last posted....well, I had a double ear infection and some sort of sinus/allergy infection. That was not fun AT ALL. Lots of pain, I even told hubby that I would rather go through natural childbirth again than that awful ear pain. Then Matthew got a cold and had a cough for a few days, but it wasn't bad. Jimmy then got it and he is still coughing. Our Aussie, Luke, turned a year old on the 23rd. And then there was Halloween, Matthew's first. Jimmy was a cowboy and Matthew was a cow. I am posting a pic below.

We have been having both of our bathrooms remodeled (finally!!) so I am excited to show you the before and after pics. I am so glad we have nice bathrooms now, its like a huge miracle!! Seriously, our upstairs bathroom was just awful, there was even mold growing on the walls and ceiling - I was a bit tired of having to bleach it. YUCK! So I will be posting about the bathrooms in the coming weeks, this week I will show you the downstairs half bath and then I will post the before pics of the upstairs full bath a bit later. Its not finished yet so I will post about it when its closer to being done.

Well, I am off to do mommy duties. I will leave you with this pic of Jimmy and Matthew from Halloween. Have a great week!!
