We got new hardwood floors put in the kitchen a few weeks ago. It has inspired us to at least think about painting the walls and the trim. There is still some finishing touches to be done to the floors but we are really happy with them. It finally feels clean when I walk on it and I don't feel like I have to wear shoes all the time!
We replaced the dinning room light (no picture) and were thinking about replacing the breakfast nook soon... looks like it will be sooner then later considering Mike "accidentally" broke it with his head.
Our inside projects are on a hold (1/2 finished and on hold) while we get outside and enjoy the weather. Mike, Beth (Mike's youngest sister) and I pulled all the Ivy and other ground cover out a few weekends ago. Mike edged and we are ready to plant some more and mulch. It looks bare now but it's still much better then it was. We can found about 2 feet more of the driveway and a good extra foot of sidewalk under everything!!!
I thought I hated outside work, but we have really enjoyed doing it together the last few weekends.
I am surprised Aunt Beth had the energy to help... despite the fact she ran like 200 miles that morning, Eli drank most of her shake so she did not even have a sugar buzz to go on.
Eli is loving all the outside time and he is quit the helper. He takes all the tools out of the garage and puts them on the driveway. The important things you need to landscape like wrenches and screwdrivers. He also thinks he should be able to mow. I did not get a picture of this one... but he got his hands on the weed-whacker when he was all of two feet away from us and weed-whacked my ankle.
Eli also loves to each on the front porch now. As he was eating dinner last night we noticed he had put his fork down and started to eat with his tool. That is a wrench his turkey dog is on.
