House update #???

So I told someone past week (I'm sorry I don't remember who) that I was going to post another update and then this week happened. 

Sunday we picked up the twins from my parents house and discovered that Savannah had quite the nasty cold and fever. She had that through Wednesday and then shared with Charlotte so now she has it. Not so fun.

But today they are starting to feel better so I snapped a few pictures and here you go!

The drywall is all up and finished and Brian has all the ceilings painted and the main living areas painted with a first coat. And trim work its starting to get done too. Savannah was the tour guide today so here we go up the stairs.

Oh ya, the mini kitchen cabinets are in too! We still have to figure out what we want for counter tops.

Here's the twins room. Savannah was inspecting her closet door. (other one has to be put on yet)

Flip side of the twins room.

Here's Addison's room, it still needs paint and it faces the front of the house.

Here is the entryway into the girl's room

Hallway to the guest room and bathroom

She was excited that there was a tub in there!

And here is the guest room. The trim work is done and the closet door is hung.

This morning you could see that the lake had white caps on it. But all the wind pushed the ice back to shore.

And I finally got a decent picture of the cabinets. My flash on my camera finally wanted to work right and I got a nice picture of the color. Now what color cabinet knobs would you get??? Silver or a matte black????

Valentine's Day 2014

You might be thinking this is going to be some sappy blog post about a wonderful date night that Brian and I had.........ummm ya that didn't happen. But we did choose to spend the night with the girls. And my parents came along too.

 We took the girls to the mall to eat, and where else but at the food court. It's Addison's favorite! Then we HAD to ride on the carousal with the horses.

They loved it. See those party poopers in the background....they didn't want to ride on the carousal. 

Then we visited Build-A-Bear. But no one came home with a bear.

Addison got a horse

Savannah a monkey

And Charlotte got a lion. She needed two feet to stand on the pedal to stuff the lion.

They each had to warm up the heart

And they all got to put the hearts in their animals

Then it was bath time.

And what next??? While daddy paid we RAN out of the store to show Grandpa our stuffed animals.

It was a lot of fun and required a lot of patience on the adults part. It took an hour and a half to make our animals.....it was a busy night at build a bear.

But it's all worth it in the end...right?

Ice skating and Addison is 4!

For Addison's birthday she wanted to go ice skating at the local ice rink here in South Haven. And just for fun today Addison is going to tell me what she wants to write for her birthday post here on the blog.
