Kids’ Bathroom – Done

Although I still have some projects in mind, for now this bathroom is done. It has a fresh coat of blue paint and some new pictures on the walls.

There It Is

When I take the boys to Awana on Monday nights, they get name tags. Imagine my surprise when Teague said he still had his from last night. Then he showed me where he had been keeping it.

Letters To Santa

Alex always has a grand idea or plan. I hear about them and sometimes find notes about them. After the boys were off to school, I found this sitting on the coffee table.

Translation in case you can’t decipher some pretty bad spelling:
Dear Santa,
I only want to spend a day with Rudolph.
Love,
Alex

The Boys Room – Done

The boys’ room took almost a year to finish. They were in our spare bedroom from day one. First we took away their walk-in closet to make an upstairs laundry room. Then Wade had to build them a new closet, remove some built-ins try to hide some AC ductwork, and update the fixtures. They are finally moved in and all the pictures are hung!

I left Wade and Kaitlyn in Memphis for a few days. The first picture I get, Kaitlyn is decked out in Auburn clothes!

Downtown

The boys and I arrived in Paducah just in time grab my Dad and then meet my sister and her family downtown. Downtown Paducah puts on a Dicken’s Village and it’s quite awesome. This year they even had the Grinch!

Then we ended the day with a cousin sleepover!

Around The House

Today we mostly stayed at home and had fun with family. There were games, puzzles, crafts, and even a gingerbread house.

Girls

My sister has been in her new house awhile, but I hadn’t seen her all moved in. We went over this morning to check out all their toys (or so my kids think).

We’ve been working really hard lately on some house projects. Kaitlyn’s room is now painted and has a new light fixture. (Her closets still need to be reworked, but that will be a bigger job for later.)

Eggsellent

I caught Alex drawing on the eggs yesterday and just warned him to be careful. (I thought he was creating unimpressed eggs again – see here). It turns out he was also writing the sweetest note.

Hi Yah

We (meaning I) have had it on the list to enroll the boys in Judo for months. We finally got around to it and Alex loves it! (Teague just shows up because his brother does.)

A new bowtie came for Teague in the mail today. I turned around to find him wearing it and eating cherry tomatoes like grapes. It’s a Tuesday.
