Not the Bathroom... but still

So... it's been approximately two weeks since I put paint coat number one in the bathroom. Unfortunately I have not gotten back. In my defense I did attempt to go a couple days ago, but alas, the furnace decided to stop and it was very, very cold. Not good for paint on walls or Ashley's fingers. And Josh forgot to take a picture today, so I apologize, but you will have to wait until Monday to see a picture of the bathroom with only one coat of paint. (Perhaps I will do another coat on Monday before I take a picture and you will get to see the bathroom fully dressed.)

Because I think Caed is adorable I have put picture of him here. (I have heard that people without kids do not like when parents put pictures of their kids everywhere. I personally don't understand it. I have always enjoyed looking at pictures of other peoples kids, especially when they're little. Even knowing someone out there probably will judge me for it I will continue to post pictures of him everywhere. There will be pictures on my cell, on my facebook, on my blog, on my fridge and on my walls (when they are done) because even though I'm always with him I always enjoying seeing a picture of him too. I just like him. :) Please continue to like me despite this flaw.)



In other news. The living room is almost done, which means that most of the really, really, really time consuming stuff will be done (1. demo and 2. insulation, but mostly demo). Just 3. dry walling will be left in the really, really, really time consuming department.

In hopes that Josh doesn't read the blog about the house he'd renovating I am going to tell you my plan. I have mentioned that I don't like drywall. So, I will paint very, very slow spending all my time painting instead of helping drywall. Diabolical, I know. I'm basically a super villain, competing with Gru, Megamind and probably some other awesome villain that we all love, despite the whole bad guy thing. I will keep you up to date on how that progresses.

OH! And Josh did take a picture of the really ugly ceiling texture in the living room, so I will share that with you. 


I know right! It's not pretty. I am sorry I think that. I'm sure it took someone a lot of time once and they really liked it. I do not. In defense of the ceiling in this picture, the wood strapping is not native to it. Josh put it up in preparation to drywall over the existing ceiling.

Here are some other pictures.

Caed reading.
(This is a book he got from Owen and Jody. He loves it. I thought his expression in this picture was pretty funny.)

Your child is so beautiful!
Takes after his mother (obviously). I was feeling guilty that you're so kind to post comments on my blog and I never say anything about yours, even though you're totally bookmarked in my browser. Anyway, I miss you very much (and your husband and child as well). Any plans to visit your (old) home? Certainly someone you know must be getting married?
love from me to you and yours -- happy valentine's day!
-Jessica

Great to see these pictures, and waiting with great anticipation for the bathroom pictures. You are like me in so enjoying photos of your own child. To this day, almost every picture on display in our home is of our kids. I love them, and I still think they are adorable. :)

Never apologize, I love seeing everyone elses kids! Especially the ones as cute as Caed.
Did you end up getting that bathroom tap that you posted a picture of in your last post? If so, (or even if not I guess) can you tell me where you got/found it? I'm madly in love with it, and really, only the people reading this will know that I blatantly copied your bathroom tap. (I don't have a house yet, but a girl can dream)

I actually ordered it off ebay.com. Even with shipping it wasn't any more then what we could find in stores that we liked. I believe I just searched 'bathroom faucet.' if you can't find it let me know and I'll look up what it was called. And yes I did get it. And yes it's just as beautiful as the picture. There are lots of cool ones on Ebay though. We got a rain shower head off there too. I'm really excited to use my bathroom...
