The Weekend is Here!

Yeah! Looks like the weather will keep me in most of the weekend. Time for some much needed *Cauy* time. Have a great weekend everyone!

Bathroom renovations....Part one

As I sit here without any water in the house, I wonder why I decided to redo the front bathroom.....??

This house was built in 1958, that outta tell you right there what we have been dealing with. The house on the inside is beautiful. It has been added onto in the back and we have a nice 1750 sq. ft. to work with. The only problem is that the facade is just that facade. Behind the shower wall is rotted sheetrock. All we were trying to do was change out the 1970's gold fixtures and replace them with chrome. It was supposed to be a 1 hour project. 7 hours later, the bathroom is torn apart, Michael is at Home Depot and my just cleaned last night bathroom looks like a tornado came through it. Turns out that the new fixtures are smaller than the previous and the old pipe is not long enough for the new fixtures.

I am glad that I did not try to tackle this all by myself in a few weeks. I will leave this up to Michael to finish. We will be stripping the wallpaper, painting and laying ceramic tile in a few weeks. I just hope that goes off without a hitch.

Well I am sure that I just jinxed myself.

Update: 9:37 p.m., water is flowing, shower doors are down, faucets are up but we are getting ready to make another late night trip to Wally World for more caulk and some new stripping for the tub. Oye!

Update 2: The bathroom reno ~ part one is complete. The shower is functioning and I am glad that all is well right now. We have decided to go ahead and remove the shower walls and replace with ceramic tile. We have a long road ahead of us with this room but as Michael said, reno projects are never complete. So I see.

Staying Put

After much thought, concern and a few emails, Michael and I have decided to keep Cauy at PV in the Fall. He was going to be attending another private school starting mid-August, but we had many concerns (as well as others) about moving him around so much. Tuition is going to be twice what we wanted to pay, but I would rather him be happy and not stressed out about being at a new school. I know that we made the right decision, at least that is what I keep telling myself.

In the end, I do know that we did the right thing. Whooo...his Mrs. Marti will have her Cauy boy again. At least this time he won't be lugging around soy milk. Oohhh, memories!

Sweet child o' mine!

It has been almost 2 months since Marie and the Clement Clan has left us and he still asks to go to Ree's house everyday on the way to school. He is not crying like he used to when I told him that he was not able to go, but he still seems somewhat depressed and unsure of why he cannot see them.

Also, every time he gets dressed, he says Ian when we put his pants/shorts on. Don't ask me why. Maybe Marie can explain that one.

He is getting more and more talkative and is cracking us up everyday. We were taking a stroll through Kroger and he just started belting out "Happy Birthday to You". Not sure where he learned that from but it was too darn cute. I think he may have gotten it from Sprout. He loves that Channel.
