How much longer?



We made some progress on the playroom this week. We ordered furniture, installed the ceiling fan and stained the new beam. I have a call into the painters that we are ready for them to start ASAP. Nick and I are so tired of tripping over Bentlee's toys that have made their new home in our den. Here is a picture of what the room looked like this morning! We are ready for the playroom to be finished NOW! Have a great week.

What we have been up to...




So, the remodel of Bentlee's playroom is still going well. The floor is done, the sheetrock is back up and the new cedar beam and trim work should be done Monday or Tuesday. I spent all day Thursday and Friday trying to decide on a paint color. I have 4 different colors on the wall right now and I think I have decided on one of them. I really had a hard time choosing the color which is strange since I always have been able to pick the exact color on the first try. Maybe because I am actually paying someone to paint this room and the pressure is on to choose the right color so I don't have to pay the painter to repaint with a different color. I am so rambling... Anyway, we hosted playgroup this week at the park down the street. We had so much fun but it was a little warm. Bentlee loved going down the slide and pointing at the "doggie" that was there. I cannot believe how big she is getting. I remember last year at this time and realize that she could not even sit up on her own. Now she is RUNNING everywhere, talking and even helping me put clothes in the dryer (I think this last one is so cute!) I can only imagine what next year will hold. My how time flies! My cousin is due with Maggie in 4 weeks and Bentlee is so excited (actually she has no idea but it sounds cute!) My sister in law is due at the beginning of September and Miss B is looking forward to meeting her first cousin. It will be so much fun to have little girls on both sides of the family! We are in Katy for the night to celebrate Mother's Day with Nick's mom and also to visit with her before she leaves on her Greek Isles cruise (so jealous.) We are also looking for furniture for the playroom. I will celebrate my Mother's Day next weekend so I can enjoy breakfast in bed which I am trying to make a little tradition for Bentlee and daddy. I posted a few pics of what we have been up to...enjoy!
